Gather Your Materials
Making bobby pin earrings is a fun and easy DIY project that anyone can do! The first step is to gather your materials.
You’ll need:
- Bobby pins
- Jewelry pliers
- Earring hooks
- Beads, if desired
You may also want to have some glue on hand to ensure the beads don’t slip off.
Prepare the Bobby Pins
The next step is to prepare the bobby pins for use as earrings. Use the pliers to bend the ends of the bobby pins upwards so that they are perpendicular to the main body of the pin.
This will ensure that the beads, if you are using them, will stay in place and won’t slip off the end of the pin.
Add Beads, if Desired
If you want to add beads to your bobby pin earrings, now is the time to do it. Simply slide the beads onto the bobby pin and use the pliers to bend the end of the pin upwards to secure them in place.
Be creative and use different colors and shapes of beads to make your earrings unique!
Attach Earring Hooks
The last step is to attach the earring hooks to the bobby pins. Use the pliers to open the loop at the bottom of the hook and slide it onto the bent end of the bobby pin.
Then, use the pliers to close the loop so that the hook is securely attached to the pin. Repeat this step for the other earring.
Wear Your New Earrings!
Once the earring hooks are attached, your bobby pin earrings are ready to wear! Put them on and show off your new DIY accessory.
These earrings make a great gift and are a fun way to add some personality to your jewelry collection.
