DIY Make your own earrings
We're going to make earrings again! Making your own earparty, who wouldn't want that? In this blog we show you how you can easily and quickly make the nicest earrings with semi-precious stones and charms . First of all: what do you need? Earrings or earhooks, end pins, beads and charms of your choice, possibly a small gold bead to finish with and don't forget: pliers .
1. Thread all the beads onto the pin
2. Cut the end pin with pliers so that you have about 1 cm above the bead
3. Bend the end of the end pin backwards and turn a nice eye with round nose pliers
4. Carefully bend open the hook on the earring with a pair of pliers and hang your charm on the earring. Then bend the hook closed again
Smallcubic zirconia charms are perfect for an ear party. With one charm you immediately have a cool effect!
1. Gently bend open the hook on the earring
2. Hang the charm on the hook
3. Gently bend the hook closed again
Making a nice round eyelet, also called chainring, may take some practice. But once you succeed, you can make a lot of nice earrings yourself.
To give you a helping hand, we have put all the basic materials for your own DIY earparty in a separate collection. Check out the Beadies Earparty Materials here . Earring yourself is now even more fun and easier!
