  Step 1

  Take your paperclips and straighten them out as much as possible. You can use other wire if you wish, but paperclips keep their shape really well and then I can be sure both of my earrings are the same size.

• 

  Step 2

  Next, take your pliers and start bending the paperclip into swirly shapes at the bottom. Don't do too many swirls, as we still need a bunch of the paperclip for the rest of the shape.

• 

  Step 3

  It's easier to achieve the right swirl shape if you sort of make it come out like in the picture. You can always bend it back so it's flat later.

• 

  Step 4

  Okay, end the swirl and let the long bit of the paperclip come up, then bend it like in the picture.

• 

  Step 5

  Okay, here's the hard bit. You need to wrap the paperclip around the edge of the pliers to get the small circle. Bend the tail to your liking.

• 

  Step 6

  Optional: Bend the very tip of the tail over so it doesn't poke you like I did in the picture.

• Step 7

  After you've made both charms, open a jump ring and slip on the charm and the earring hook. Close the jump ring.

• 

  Step 8

  Do the same for the other charm, and you're done! Wear your earrings proudly!

You can buy them at pretty much any craft store or in the crafting section of a department store. :]
