Make your own clip-on earrings – step by step instructions
- First, you need to use the thread to measure the area on your ear where you want to wear the earring later. Start in the inner ear and move the thread outward around the edge of the ear.
- Cut approximately 20 centimeters from the wire with the combination pliers. To avoid injuring yourself, we recommend that you round off and smooth the wire ends a little with a fine nail file.
- Now use the round-nose pliers to carefully wrap one end of the wire around the tip of the pliers.
- Use the thread to measure the length you will need to clamp the earrings and wrap the area completely around the tip of the pliers again. You should make sure that the two ends face the same direction.
- Depending on how wide you want the ear cuff earrings to be, you can bend the ends once or twice. When you have the desired width, twist another eyelet and cut off the usual wire with round-nose pliers.
- In this step you can decorate the earrings as you wish.
- To give the ear cuffs a smooth and beautiful shape, they are finally slowly wrapped around a pencil.
- Now all you have to do is try the earrings out and squeeze them a little if necessary so that they sit well and firmly on your ear.
