Since they are made from yarn, a big concern when it comes to crochet earrings is making sure they keep their shape. After all that hard work, your cute earrings will stay in the correct shape with a proper stiffening method.
You can use white glue, also known as PVA glue thats typically used to glue wood. It’s important to mix ist with an equal measurement of water. Soak your earrings and use a towel to dry the extra moisture before placing them on a blocking board.
Instead of PVA, sugar is used, which is the traditional method but requires an extra step. Begin with two parts sugar one part water. Boil it quickly in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool, and soak the earrings. Use a towel to rid the extra moisture and place it on a blocking board.
If you’ve blocked the earrings, they will be nice and sturdy for every day life. However, to add another layer of protection, you can block them.
Blocking is a very common crochet technique to maintain shape and also make crochet pieces look better, earrings included.
You can also protect your crochet earrings by taking them off when swimming, showering, and sleeping. This is especially important if they are big drop or hoop earrings. If the yarn gets wet, it can make them weak and lose the shape that you worked so hard on getting in the first pace.
