Paper jhumka







Paper jhumkas are my favorite nowadays among earrings.the main advantage of paper earrings is its light weight.







This violet colored paper jhumka is the largest I have ever made.

I took 12 paper quilling strips for each jhumka and for making the stud I took only one. 13 quilling strips are needed for each jhumka.
