1. Intro: Hey, everyone. Welcome
to my class where I'll show you two different
designs of earrings, both inspired by Tokyo
Adventures, manga and Anima. The first one features
the Bonton symbol. It's bold, edgy and makes a
statement all on its own. The second one is a
minimalistic earring. The second one is this
minimalistic chain earring. It's slick, lightweight, and perfect if you want something subtle with a bit
of animal flavor. Also for this chain earring, you can actually upcycle your old jewelry
that you don't wear. It's a win win situation. Both designs are beginner friendly and don't
require fancy tools, just a few basic materials
and telittle creativity. Let's dive in and bring a bit of taker Avenger
style to your look.
2. Bonten Design: Supplies & Tools: To make this Bonton symbol logo inspired statement earring, you need a wooden
rectangle piece or a ruler of 10 centimeters. Black and white paint, earing hooks or clasps,
whatever you prefer, two jump rings and one screw epin and a few optional products
that you might need, but it all depends
on your choice. You might need a
sending paper to send the surface of
the wooden ruler. To finish the project, you
might need a type of gloss. It can be a clear nail polish, varnish gloss, or a poxy resin. The choice is up to you. You can also skip this step. You will also need a brush to paint and a pair
of round pliers, and you might need a
brush for the varnish. Now, let's start creating.
3. Bonten: Step 1 - Sandpaper (optional): As you can see the ruler obviously has these
black markings, and we have two options here. But before we start,
if you already have a clear wooden
rectangular piece, without any markings paints, you can just keep
this whole process and move to the next step. Option one, you can
use a sand paper to remove the black paint
and smooth the surface. I think it's the easiest
and the fastest way. I send it about one or 2 minutes and all
black paint was gone. Another option I will tell
you in the next step.
4. Bonten: Step 2 - Paint (white/light color background): And option number two, if you don't want to send the piece or you don't
have sand paper, you can layer your white paint until you don't
see any markings. You can use another
light paint to layer it. So whatever step you prefer to send the paper or
to layer it, still, you need to cover
your wooden piece in a light paint so you
can have this base. You can use white paint, so it looks like in mangum, but we don't know for
sure if it was white, or you can use any other paint. I use this light
beige pearly color. Here you can clearly
see the difference. On the left, I'm
layering the paint, and on the right,
I use sandpaper. Just don't forget to let it dry before applying a
new layer of paint. That's why I prefer
using sandpaper. It's faster and Tsium. So if you have the
chance to get some, I definitely recommend it.
5. Bonten: Step 3 - Outline, Paint and Color in: Now comes the hardest part. We need to copy the
design from the picture. I have already outlined the
frame using a rule pencil. Now it's time to draw
the design inside. You can use a pencil or a
black line to make a sketch. Then fill it in with
black paint latum. I personally prefer using
a thin paint brush. I decided to start with the
lower part of the design. I'm drawing the outline
of the arc in the center. I'm not filling it in just yet. I'll leave it that for lam. And next, I drew a curved line
just below the arc. Leaving a small gap
on the left side, I kept checking the
reference photo constantly. That gap, I drew two small
lines going downward. Now we have something that looks like the silhouette of a spike. It's point on the left
and on the right, it has more of a
trapezoid shape. Try to follow the same design. I know mine doesn't look exactly like the picture,
but that's okay. It looks similar enough. The goal here is
to create inspired earing by this manga symbol, not an exact copy. After outlining
the bottom design, I drew a circle above the arc. I started with a small
black.in the center, then free handed
a ring around it. Next, I added the curved line
that surrounds the circle. Try to match the
thickness of the lines. On the right side, the
lines start thick, then become thinner as it curves upward and then thickens again before
tapering to a point. Now let's move to the final
curved line above that. Start from the right corner, make the line sick
in the beginning, and let it gradually become thinner as you
move to the left. Then draw two spike lines
coming from the top downwards. They should cross over the top curved line and
the second curved line. Add two dots just to the left of each spike line above
the top curved line. Then below that same line to the right of the spiky lines. Paint two slightly smaller dots. Don't worry if your lines
aren't perfectly smooth. We'll fix that later when
we color everything in. And finally, it's time to color. Take your time. Don't rush. It's easy to make mistakes here. Keep looking at the
reference image and carefully fill
everything in. Once you're done, you
can go over the lines again to smooth them out
if anything looks off. Now let's move to
the next step. I
6. Bonten: Step 4 - Varnish Gloss: Now we just need to
varnish our wooden piece. This will help smooth everything out and protect the
pain from scratches. You can use whatever
you have at home, varnish gloves,
clear nail polish, epoxy resin, or UV resin. I used varnish glos, applied it evenly over
the entire piece, and waited for it
to dry completely. A a
7. Bonten: Step 5 - Assemble Everything: The last thing to do is
assemble everything. Take your screw pin and screw it into the
top of the piece. Since it's wood
and not too thick, it should be easy to do by hand. To make sure the urine faces
at the right direction, you will need to
use two jump rings. Grab your first jump in
and open it using pliers. Since I have long nails, I use two pairs of pliers, one to hold the ing
and other to open it. Once it's open, attach the
jumper into the screw pin, and then close it. Now, take your second jumping
and open it the same way. Slide your earing hook
or clasp onto it, then attach it to
the first jump ring. Close it up, and
now we are done.
8. Koko Earring: Supplies & Tools: And now let me show you
another piece of earring. It's inspired by Cocom. He has this chain earring
that is extremely easy to do. It's faster than the Bnton one, but it also looks cute. You can even upcycle your old jewelry or
buy new supplies. Look through your drawers, and you might find old earrings and chains that you don't wear. You can give ane
life to the sinks and make one or two
earrings for you. For this day, you
just need a chain, an earring hook, one jump ring, and a pair of pliers. Let's start making.
9. Koko: Step 1 - Assemble (Chain and Stud) : Firstly, I decided to
assemble the chain and stud. I'll show you two
different chains and how you can assemble them. If you have a sin
chain as I here, you just need an
earring hook and the jumping is not
necessary for you. You need to open the first
link and attach the Sud loop. Since the chain is quite thin, it can be easily attached to the loop without a jump ring. Don't forget to close the link once everything is assembled. You can even shake it a little bit to make sure
nothing falls off. If it does, you may need to
close the link more tightly. However, if you have
a thick chain that can't go through the
start loop directly, you will need to jump ring. In this case, you don't
need to open the link, open the jump ring, attach the start and the chain
to it and close it. While it's done.
10. Koko: Step 2 - Measure the Length: Now the most important question, how long should the earing be? Well, that's entirely up to you. I decided to try
the earns on first, which is why I sampled everything before
cutting the chain. Stand in front of
a mirror and place your fingers where you
want the earns to end. You can also use a ruler to measure the exact
lengths you want. I did this with a thinner chain. And once you've
decided on the length, just use players to open
a link in the chain, remove the access chain
and the open link, and your earring is done.
11. Final look tokyo revengers : And how they turned out, I absolutely love both
designs and I would actually make a pair of
earrings because I don't usually wear one earring. But if you wear this kind of hairstyles where
you show one side of ear and another
is covered by hair, then these kind of earrings might be absolutely
perfect for you. Bonton earring is perfect
when you want to stand out, it's immediately eye
catching and works beautifully with
a minimal outfit becoming the star of your look, or you can pair it with
bold and colorful clothes. It will complement
them just as well. The minimalist chain earring is perfect for everyday wear. It's clean, subtle and looks great paired with
different stud earrings, especially if you have
multiple piercings. Thanks for watching
and heavy crafting.
