Things You'll Need:
- Ear hooks
- Headpins
- Pearls with pre-drilled holes
- Needle nose pliers
- Wire cutters
-
Step 1
Select ear hooks and headpins from the craft or hobby store. They are available in gold, silver or hypoallergenic material suitable for sensitive ears. The headpins are available in different lengths and have a flat stop at the end, which keeps the pearl form falling off. Make sure the hole in the pearl is smaller than the stop at the end of the headpin.
-
Step 2
Place a pearl on each headpin. At this point, decide whether you want to add other pearls or small beads.
-
Step 3
Hold the stop end of the headpin pointing downward, place the tip of the needle nose pliers on the headpin, next to the bead. Roll the pliers to the side, bending the headpin to a 90 degree angle.
-
Step 4
Keep the pliers in the same position and turn them back to the starting position to begin to form a small loop. Continue to turn the pliers until you’ve completed the loop. Where you position the pliers determines the size of the loop.
-
Step 5
Use your pliers to straighten the loop, if necessary. Make sure everything is straight and in alignment.
-
Step 6
Open the loop slightly with the needle nose pliers, slip the ear hooks on and close the loop back up. Enjoy your new earrings, and feel confident to use your imagination to create your own unique jewelry designs.
