How to Make Earrings

This is a bit of fun, how to make clip charms for your hoop earrings.

This DIY is a little bit silly, but hopefully a bit of fun as well. It is a way to make the most of your face hoop earrings and show off your favorite charms. This design uses large lobster clasps that you can use to clip different charms onto your hoops. This tutorial contains affiliate links.

You’ll need these tools and materials to make your customizable charm hoop earrings:

1: Pliers. I used my round nose and flat nose pliers.

Follow these steps to make your customisable hoop earrings:

1: Add each of the lobster clasps to the hoops.

3: Create your bead charms, do this by adding beads to your head pin and curl the tops into a loop using the round nose pliers. Add a jump ring to the top if you need it.
