This DIY easy sparkle earrings craft is a fun and easy little project to whip up and makes a pretty gift. Make a few pairs up to have on hand for a last minute present, but be sure to make a fabulous pair for you too!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Jewelry making tools (I used flat-nosed pliers, wire cutters, round-nosed pliers, chain-nosed pliers)
- 2 french hooks (I’ve seen these also called “earwires” and “fish hooks” too)
- 2 jump rings
- 2 headpins
- Beads of your choice (I used 2 small clear beads, 2 medium green beads, and one large pink glass bead per earring)
- I like to lay everything out in the order it will be put together to make it easy to assemble and plan out the layout and colors a bit before beginning.
- String beads on headpin.
- Bend headpin at a 90 degree angle with pliers.
- With the round nosed pliers, continue to bend headpin to form a loop.
- With flat nosed pliers, flatten/straighten loop if needed.
- Trim excess wire with wire cutters.
- With pliers open up the jump ring. Add a strand of beads and french hook to the ring.
- Close jump ring (you may need a pair of pliers in each hand if it is hard to close-sometimes I find the ring way too tiny to close with my hands.
- Repeat for the second earring.
All finished, enjoy wearing your earrings! Try making multiple pairs in a variety of colors, make for a quick gift, and more!
