Making Belly Dancing Earrings

Video Transcript

"What's another great Belly Dance accessory? I'm Johanna Krynytzky with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio in St. Petersburg Florida, and how do we wear our earrings for Belly Dance? Can we make some earrings for Belly Dance? Of course we can! There's a number of ways you can get beautiful earrings for Belly Dancing, and there's a number of different styles that you can get. For instance, if you're going for a more Gypsy look, you can use these hoop earrings, those look really nice for Belly Dancing, and you'll just find them down at your local Claires, or at the mall. Now if you want a more glitzy style, we've got some sparkley earrings here, and those are great. They look fantastic with every costume, and add that special little sparkle to every single little head movement. These earrings over here are a little more tribal in nature, it's a little bit heavier grade metal, and it's not quite as shiny and sparkley, but has that really solid metal look to it. Now this, you can go down to your local jewelery store, jewelry shop, bead shop, you can buy the little hook and you can find a ton of different little metal things that you can add onto it. So you can make them dangle more, you can make, make them smaller or larger, however you want to do it. So what you want to think about is your ultimate goal of your entire costume. What is my costume going to look like finished? Do I want a long straight look with the earring? Do I want something that's round? Do I want something chunky? So once you put everything together, you can mix and match and combine and make a thousand different looks. I'm Johanna Krynytzky with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio helping you make your own Belly Dance earrings."
