They are so cute! All I make are granny square afghans and purses, so these will make a great addition to my "stash".

This is so cute; can't wait to try making it in different colors. It's ideal for using scrap-varagated!.

I didn't see any mention of the type of thread you used. I'm guessing it must have been fine crochet cotton. I love the novelty of the tiny squares, but will never make them myself as my eyes are no longer sharp enough for such a minute piece. good going, though!

When you glue the earrings, place a piece of waxed paper (baking paper) underneath. Paint both sides.
