How to Make Guitar Pick Earrings

Guitar picks are not only a handy tool for guitar players, they are also beautiful and lightweight objects which make the perfect ornaments for jewelry of all kinds. If you or someone you love is a passionate musician, you can make an extra special and one of a kind accessory. A few tips can get you started on a funky pair of guitar pick earrings.

Things You'll Need

• Matching pair of guitar picks
• Beads
• Drill with extra small bit
• Headpins
• Needle nose pliers
• Earring hooks

Instructions

1. Select a matching pair of guitar picks for your earrings. Guitar picks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses and colors, so you are sure to find the perfect pair to suit your style. Additionally, you should select at least two matching beads to adorn the earrings.

2. Use an extra small drill bit to make a hole in the center of the wide edge as well as the center of the triangular tip of each guitar pick. In your finished earrings, the tip of the triangle will point down.

3. Place your chosen beads on headpins and then slip the loose ends of the pins through the holes you made in the triangular tips of the guitar picks. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to make a loop with the excess head pin, securing the bead to the pick.

4. Attach earring hooks to the holes in the center of the wide edge of your guitar picks to complete your unique pair of earrings.

Tips & Warnings

• Personalize your earrings in any way you like. Try adding extra headpins for a pair of dangle earrings, adding more beads or even using more than one guitar pick for a multi-colored layered look.
