Diy Ear Cuff

Close, but no cigar.

Posted by Pintester

Despite my complete lack of crafting ability, I decided to try it out. How hard could it be, right?

1

For the smaller heart cuff, unbend a paper clip and cut it in half. (It's sort of a power trip.)
2

Bend the two sides into little pin hole shapes.

Bending in the pin holes on the sides wasn’t too hard, even though smaller pliers probably would have been better. (I needed a smaller tool. That’s what she said… Wait…)
3

Bend it into a heart shape.

And despite having to re-bend things a few times, I ended up with something that was a close approximation of what it should have been.

Admire your fine work and, emboldened, move on to the larger and harder (heh) ear cuff.
5

Break your paperclip. Start over.
6

Fail miserably.

You can’t quite tell from the picture, but the whole thing is pretty much a hot mess. The pliers left teeth marks all over it and the gold started flaking off where it’s bent, which is pretty much everywhere. Not cute, and not something I really want near my earhole.

Wear them anyway.
