“Chaand Baaliyan” is a fan hoop earrings design inspired by a song of the same name here in India.

Sometimes, I sing to please my soul. Most of the times, it is in the national language of my country, which is Hindi. You will always find me humming songs while crafting or while doing my chores. Some songs just keeps playing in my mind and sometimes inspire me to create new designs. I think, this is my second creation that is inspired by a song.

“Chaand” means “Moon” and I love the moon to the moon and back. “Baaliyan” means “Earrings”. So basically, these earrings are named, “Moon Earrings” to please my selenophile heart.

These crochet boho earrings are super simple to make. I made them within just half an hour. So you can make plenty of these lacy earrings within just a day using very less amount of yarn. A great stash buster for sure. I hope you enjoy making your “Chaand Baaliyan”.
