• 

  Step 1

  Gather all necessary supplies.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut a piece of wire about 4-6 inches long...

• 

  Step 3

  ...like zis...

• 

  Step 4

  Bend your wire into a zig zag pattern emulating the one in picture 4. I use flat nosed pliers to make the shape :)

• 

  Step 5

  Using needle nose pliers, bend the top piece, and bottom piece of wire, and make some nice, neat loops.

  I chose to live on the edge and be a little funky by making the top piece into a swirl! Go me!!

• 

  Step 6

  Now using a ring mandrel, dowel, or anything circular (a pen! a lipstick!) Bend your wire around it to make round.

• 

  Step 7

  Your finished product should look this.

• 

  Step 8

  Next, cut a new piece of wire. As long as your little heart desires!
  Start threading some pretty beads, charms, etc..onto it.

• 

  Step 9

  Making another loop with your needle nose pliers, attach the beaded wire to your cuff.

• 

  Step 10

  Wrap the cuff around your ear, it should fit snugly, and HUZZAH!! You are now sporting a rockin piece of bling bling for your ear!

@GLENDA M. Thanks! I will definitely try that sometime.. Just I never get past the point where you can safely remove your earrings even with the stuff that they give you to put on them. I never really know why.

To Penny F.
neosporin on the posts before you put them on solved your problem! And avoid thin wires....

Well I have been looking for an alternative to getting my ears pierced and here is my answer!!! (my ears always get infected no matter how hard I try to keep them from doing that!)
