We made beautiful stained glass earrings, we fell into traps and made mistakes and I’m going to share all of that with you.

In this week's tutorial we take you on a journey to make these beautiful wood and resin earrings.

We used our xTool F1 to cut these earrings out but you could also use a Cricut Maker to cut the pieces.
