  Step 1

  You will need:
  - Iron wire (thick and small size)
  - Pliers
  - Metal Chain
  - Metal rings
  - Pendants (optional)

• 

  Step 2

  Fold the thinck iron wire double and shape it around your ear. Make sure it fits good and feels comfortable. It must not fall of constantly!

• 

  Step 3

  Mesure how long the wire must be behind your ear. Cut of one side of the wire and fold the other end back.

• 

  Step 4

  Shape the wire the same as in the picture. Make loops to attach the chains on later.

• 

  Step 5

  Make more loops.

• 

  Step 6

  And more..

• 

  Step 7

  Make as much loops as chains you want. I made 4. When you're finished, cut the wire, and shape it around your ear.

• 

  Step 8

  Now start wrapping the smaller wire around your cuff. Make sure the end is not sharp, because that would hurt your ear.

• 

  Step 9

  Wrap it..

• 

  Step 10

  Finish it.
  Attach the chain to the loops. Use metal rings.

• 

  Step 11

  Put the ear cuff on and messure how you want your chain. You can also lay it flat on the table and drape it. Cut the chain of at the right size.

• 

  Step 12

  Attach a metal ring to the 4 chains. Add also a bobby pin to the ring.

• 

  Step 13

  Make a bun or a ponytail and link the cuff behind your ear. Put the bobby pin in your bun/ponytail. Done!

  Optional: You can add pendants to the chains.

I'm always looking for a way to put assorted things in my hair but they never sick because my hair is slidey and stubborn! I think this might actually work! Thank you so much!

Hi Moony Moon! You can wear it with glasses, but while making it, you have to measure it constantly with your glasses on. In the beginning it feels a bit weird, but you get used to it!

My glasses has fit behind the ear. Do you think it will mess up in time to use? I really want to do.

No, it doesn't hurt. It isn't very practical with my glasses, but without it feels fine!
