This is a version of My Project Lego batman earrings, but this time I have two different methods of making the earrings. Making them out of Minifigures or making them out of Lego key-chains. All of the Lego batman minifigures are hard to find but e-bay is a good place to look. Also some of the key chains sell for less than the minifigures and are easier to work with.

The first method of making the minifigure earrings is using the Lego key-chains. The first thing you want to do is cut the big loop that is holding the chain to the peg in the minifigure's head with the wire cutters.
The next thing you want to do is turn the peg so that the hole is facing forward. You may have a little trouble doing this because of the white side of the hair, but just keep working at it with the pliers.
Next open up the earring hook with the pliers.
Put the hook through the peg on the minifigure and close it with the pliers.
Now just push the ball down to the bottom of the earring hook and you are done with the earring.
The second method is using the Lego minifigure. First you will want to take a drop of gorilla glue and glue the hat to the head. Leave time for it to dry.
Next you want to drill a hole in the middle of the head. I would highly recommend using a drill press. It makes it a heck of a lot easier to do things precisely. If using a drill press line up the head and press the drill down while it is off to see if it lines up correctly. If it doesn't move it until it does. When it does line up Press the drill slowly down into the head. Press until you feel it go all the way through the hat and the head.
Next put the eye-pin through the hole you made to measure it.. You want to cut it short enough so that it won't touch the neck when you put the head back on the body. If the pin is too long, just keep trimming it until it is the right size.
Put a dot of gorilla glue into the hole you drilled.
Put the eye-pin into the hole and hold it until the glue dries. If needed use another eye-pin and drop some glue on it. Then use it to apply glue to the pin from the underside of the head.
Open an earring hook with the pliers.
hook through the eye-pin and close with the pliers.
and voila! You are done!
