How to Make your Own Earrings

If you’re like some people I know then you spend a lot of money on all your jewelry. What’s the point? I understand jewelry is the last piece of the puzzle, it puts your whole outfit together, but why spend all the money? Try to save that money and make your own jewelry. If you make your own jewelry, the possibilities are endless. You will always have a piece of jewelry to match every outfit because you made it specifically for your outfit. You can’t lose if you make your own jewelry.

Earrings are one of my favorite pieces of jewelry to wear. I feel that if you want a fun night out on the town you can wear some dangly earrings, they’re just so much fun. If they dangle, people can see them better than if they were just post earrings. Learn how to make your own earrings with me!

What you need:

• Ball End Headpins
• 2- Gems or crystals
• 2- French Ear Wires
• 2- 4mm round beads
• Side Cutters
• Chain Nose Pliers
• Round Nose Pliers

Take one of the end headpins and thread on the crystal and one of the round beads. You’ll then make a simple loop with one of the pliers and cut off the access wire. Do not close the loop completely on the headpin so you can attach the ear wire.  You then attach the loop to the ear wire and continue closing.  You then have your beautiful earring, do the same thing with the second one. Wear with a fabulous outfit!

The Chain Dangle Earrings are a really cute pair of earrings you will love to make. These also make for great gifts.

Do these count as post earrings?

I just got my ears pierced, but after approximately one month, I can wear other post earrings. I definitely can’t wear fish hook earrings. I’m not certain about these earrings. They’re not fish hook style because they can close…So are they post earrings?

No, those are not post earring. However, just because you are wearing post earring does not mean they have to be boring or can’t dangle. Take these for expample: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=acc%5Fjewelry&product%5Fid=1055612555&Page=all
