How to Make Chain Back Earrings AKA The Prettiest Earrings Out

These earrings didn’t turn out quite how I had hoped but I’m still pretty excited about these asymmetrical chain-back drop earrings. These simple earrings are made using charm connector earrings and a simple piece of chain that is attached to the butterfly back of the earrings. Add your choice of beads to make these special earrings your own. I used a pair of stunning green fire agate beads.

You will need the following tools and materials to make these chain back earrings:

1: Pliers. You will need round nose pliers, flat nose pliers and round nose pliers to make these earrings.

2: Two charm connector stud earrings.

3: One head pin.

4: One eye pin.

5: Two jump rings.

6: Two pieces of chain. The pieces I used already had jump rings attached, however, depending on the chain you use you might need some extra jump rings.

7: Two feature beads. I used these green fire agate beads.

The Steps:

1: Add one bead to the eye pin.

2: Use the round nose pliers to make a loop at the other end of the pin, securing the bead in place.

3: Add the other bead to the head pin.

4: Bend the pin at a right angle to the bead using the round nose pliers.

5: Trim the pin using the cutting pliers.

6: Create a loop with the end of the pin using the round nose pliers.

7: Now you both of your bead charms are complete.

8: Take the double looped charm and attach it to one of the earring studs. Make sure you close the loop again to secure the earring in place.

9: Add a piece of chain to the other end of the charm.

10: Slide an open jump ring into a loop of a butterfly earring back.

11: Slide the end of the chain into the same jump ring. Close the jump ring using pliers.

12: Now one of your earrings is complete.

13: Take the other bead and attach it to the end of the second chain. Close the bead charm loop using your pliers.

14: Attach a jump ring to the middle of the chain.

15: Slide the earring charm onto the open jump ring and then close it using pliers.

16: Now your second earring is complete!

17: Now your earring set is complete. Head out and wear your new earrings with flair!
