Thanks! And thanks for the faves.
I varnished them with a normal paint-on, clear varnish that you can get at any craft store. I'm sure a spray-on sealant would work just as well, too.

They are gorgeous. The folding must have been tedious!

thanks! The folding wasn't bad at all, actually. The pattern is relatively simple- it was making them so small that was a little hard, lol

YAAAAAY! My sexy goldfish earrings. I am so wearing them to church today so when people see them and go, "WHOA! Where did you get those?!" I can say, "They are a Kelsey original, one of a kind. HAH."
