This isn't that hard, just slightly time-consuming. Or maybe that's just because I had to make my swirls absolutely perfect. Haha.

Anyway, these are fun and cute and I hope you like them. :]

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Pair of Earring Hooks
  • Pliers (round nosed or needle nosed)
  • 2 Jump Rings
  • 2 medium-sized Paperclips

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

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

  5. 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.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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

  8. 8

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