Follow these steps to transform your clip ons into earrings for pierced ears:

1: Use the cutting pliers to remove the clips from the back of each earring. They might not clip off easily so be careful with this stage.

2: This step isn’t necessary, but you can use the file or sandpaper to flatten out the back of the earrings so that they are ready for gluing.

3: Squeeze the glue in equal parts onto the scrap paper and mix it with the skewer.

4: Add the mixed glue to the earring post and to the back of the earring charm.

5: Place the earring post onto the back of the earring charm in the same location you put the glue. Hold it in place for about a minute to make sure it sticks in place.

6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the second earring.

Once your earrings are dry they are ready to wear. So now you can transform your jewelry box with loads of vintage studs!
