I just found an amazing DIY of Paper Ctacked Arrow Earing by Delightfully DIY
You will need:
1 sheet of cardstock to cut arrow shapes (you can use template)
1 set of earring posts with backs
E-6000 glue
Glue pen or white glue (I used a ballpoint-tip glue pen from Martha Stewart Crafts - I got it at Michaels)
Aleene's Paper Glaze (or something similar)
Scissors and/or ruler and x-acto
You can use arrow template (click here to get it) or make your own. My arrows are 1/2 inch wide. There is probably a better way to do this (where the arrows don't have color printed on the back), but I couldn't figure out how. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them!
Start by cutting out all 20 arrows from a piece of cardstock. I used a ruler and x-acto for the sides and scissors for all the other edges. I don’t know why, but that seemed like the easiest way.
Begin gluing them together front to back, making sure to line them up as best you can, until you have two stacks of 10 arrows each. Use the glue pen (or white glue and maybe a small brush or toothpick?) to spread glue on arrows.
Once the stacks have dried, put a layer of Aleene’s Paper Glaze on top. (Also - try to ignore the fact that I seriously need to redo my manicure in this picture!) Allow it to fully dry, and then add another layer to give the arrows a more 3D look on top.
Put a drop of E-6000 glue onto the flat surface of the earring back. Press it down in the center of the back of an arrow. Do the same with the other earring back/arrow. Let the glue dry and your arrow earrings are ready to wear!
