How to Make Pog Earrings

If you have some left over Pogs and milkcaps from your childhood games, here's a way to incorporate their nostalgia into your everyday fashion.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 similar or duplicate Pogs
• 2 earring hooks
• jewelry wire
• colored beads
• wire cutters
• pliers
• 2 crimp beads

1. Punch a small hole at the top of each Pog large enough for the wire to fit through.

2. Cut a small piece of wire and thread it through the hole in the Pog.

3. Slip on whatever beads you would like to compliment the colors of the Pog. Make sure you put some on both sides of wire.

4. Hold the two ends of the wire together and slip them through the circular hook at the bottom of the earring hook. Do not let go.

5. Holding the wires together with the earring hook threaded on as well, slip on a crimp bead over the two ends of the wire and use the pliers or a similar tool to flatten the crimp bead. This will hold the earring hook and beads together.

6. Trim off the rest of the wire beyond the crimp bead so it cannot poke out and hurt you.

Tips & Warnings

• The crimps, wire and beads can be found at any craft store.
• The beads add a little color and detail to the earrings, but you can choose to do without them and stick with the simple design on the Pog. You can still use the wire to hook on the Pog in this case, but you could also use a small metal jewelry ring, which can also be found at any craft store.
• Be sure to clean the earring with rubbing alcohol before wearing.
