  Step 1

  Gather your supplies

• 

  Step 2

  First, you’ll need to punch a hole in your bottle caps. Find a sturdy surface to work on (a sturdy table or concrete floor work best). You may want to protect your surface as well – work on top of a wooden cutting board, for instance. 2. Decide where you want your hole to be and position the tip of the awl on the inside of the bottle cap (see photo). Hammer the end of the awl so that the tip goes through the cap, leaving a hole.

  Step 3

  Slip a head-pin through the hole so that the head of the pin is on the inside of the cap. Add a few beads.

• 

  Step 4

  Use your jewelry pliers to bend the head-pin at a 90 degree angle. Snip off the excess head-pin, leaving just enough room to make a loop (approx. 1/4 of an inch).

  Step 5

  Use the round-nose pliers to form a loop at the top. Attach your ear wires and close the loop securely. For more detailed instructions on working with head-pins, visit this link. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the second earring. Note: You may even want to add a second hole in each bottle cap to attach more beads or dangling chain. Repeat the instructions above for the bottom hole.

  Now you not only have a cute pair of earrings but also a conversation piece! I love that I’m wearing a piece of history on my ears.
