How to Make an Emergency Earring Back

You are out at a cocktail party and all of a sudden you notice it. Your earring about to fall from your lobe. The backing came off! Have no fear. You can save the earring until you make it to a jewelry shop with the help of some basic household items.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Pen or pencil eraser

1. Find a pen or pencil that has a miniature eraser on the end of it.
2. Pull off the eraser and cut or pinch it down to a smaller size.
3. Stick it on the back of your earring in place of the original backing. Push the eraser up tight against the back of the earring to ensure it is properly in place.
4. Continue to enjoy the night with your earrings in place and no one will be the wiser. When you get home, arrange to take them to a jeweler or simply buy a real earring back to replace your lost one.
