Making hanging earrings is easier than you think.
If you can punch a hole in it, you can probably make an earring out if it. Finding new and unique lightweight items to turn into a pair of earrings is a terrific way to make jewelry that goes with every outfit you own. Your new earrings will be one-of-a-kind, and personal. Creating simple hanging earrings with any material is easy and will take you less than an hour.
Instructions
1. Use an awl and hammer to make a hole to hang your objects.
Take the first small, lightweight object you've chosen for your earring and punch a small hole 1/8-inch from the top of the object with an awl and hammer.
2. Using small jewelry pliers, slightly twist a ¼-inch round jump ring open.
3. Hang the earring object on the jump ring; then hang the jump ring on the loop end of a French earring wire.
4. Jewelry pliers have small tips to work with jewelry.
Twist the jump ring closed using the jewelry pliers, and place a small drop of jewelry glue on the seam of the jump ring to secure it permanently.
5. Repeat the process for other earring to complete the pair.
