Things You'll Need:
- 1 pair pierced earrings 1 pair of converters (hoop or post) Wire snips/nail clippers Needle-nose pliers
-
Step 1
Choose a converter for post-back earrings. These converters look like an average clip on, but there is a tube in the back.
-
Step 2
Remove the back from the earring post.
-
Step 3
Slide the post into the tube on the back of the converter starting from the bottom. If you insert the post into the top hole, you won't be able to bend it properly.
-
Step 4
Bend the front of the pierced earring gently toward the front of the clip on. This can usually be done without tools.
-
Step 5
Use needle-nose pliers, if necessary, to bend the post all the way to the front.
-
Step 1
Use a clip-on hoop earring or hoop converter that is small enough to fit the charm from your dangle pierced earrings.
-
Step 2
If the pierced earring charm slides off, remove it.
-
Step 3
Slide the charm onto the clip on hoop.
-
Step 4
If the pierced earring charm does not slide off, use the wire snips to cut the pierced back off the earring.
-
Step 5
Slide the remaining loop onto the hoop earrings or attach a jump ring, then slide it onto the hoop clip on.

on 6/14/2009 haven't tried this in years. Sometimes it worked great other times not.
