Want some lightweight earrings? This ribbon design has you covered.

These lightweight earrings are really cute! Made out of beads and ribbons they’ll pack a visual punch without weighing your lobes down. They can also be made with materials you might already have at home. I don’t know about you but I have loads of ribbons that I have saved from gifts and shopping bags.

You’ll need the following tools and materials to make these lightweight ribbon earrings:

1: Pliers. You’ll need your flat nose and round nose pliers.

Follow these steps to make your lightweight ribbon earrings:

1: Fold the ribbon around so that it forms a folded loop. You can achieve this by layering the ends over each other facing the same way up.

2: Add the flat crimp to the ends of the ribbon and squash them using the flat nose pliers.

3: Add the glass beads to each of the head pins.

4: Curl the ends of the pins to secure the beads.

5: Add the beaded pins to each of the jump rings.

6: Close the jump rings around the bottom of each ribbon loop.

7: Attach each of the earring hooks to the crimps at the top of each ribbon charm.

Now your cute ribbon earrings are ready to wear!
