Hey Everyone,
Today I'm going to teach you how to make the easiest earrings EVER!
Here's what you need:
A couple of beads (with a standard sized hole through the middle)
2 long headpins
pliers
hammer
hard surface - I use a little rock

What to Do:
1. Snip off the ends of the headpins. Hammer the tips flat.
2. Thread a bead onto the headpin - it will stop at the wider end.
3 & 4. determine how long you want your earrings to hang and holding it firmly bend the wire around the handle of the pliers (or a pencil)
5. Mold the wire to shape
6. Trip excess wire from the back
Can you believe how easy that was? Seriously?

They are so versatile too, the possibilities are endless. I made 3 pairs in about 15 minutes. I'm loving the red ones.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that you're inspired to make a pair or 2 yourself.
Take care

that's really cool, so the hammering means no crimp bead? I think I love the red ones best
ReplyDeleteNo crimp bead - the wider part keeps the bead on ;-)
DeleteThese earrings are so cool! Love em.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to have special headpins? Not all mine have been decent/good quality ones. Even from the jewelry store. They have been okay for doing the beads but to put in the ears I don't know if they would be okay or not.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina,
DeleteThe headpins I have are really good. I think I may have had a bad batch that peeled silver paint off once, and I would never put that in my ears. But you could also use a thicker jewellery wire to get the same effect.
