About
A set of PC hard drives get a new lease on life as earrings for a stretched pair of ears.
A very simple use for some old junk. These are a little heavy on the ears, but they won't rip them because I made the cork gauges to be very sturdy and supporting.

Step 1Acquire some old hard drive discs. These we in a friends storage unit and I was pretty sure he wasn't going to use them!
-
Step 2Acquire the correct gauge for your hole. My front gauges are a size 0, so I used one of my own to judge the right drill bit size.
-
Step 3I had to place the butt of the drill against my inner thigh for support, and I pushed down on the drill gently with my left hand while I drilled with my right to prevent slipping.
-
Step 4Success! Nice, clean drilled holes in just the right spot!
-
Step 5Next, I paired these hard drive earrings with my hand made 0 gauge cork plugs. I used rubber stoppers on the outside (as you can see).
-
Step 6The cork plugs that are paired with these hoops are wider at the back so that they literally can't come out with these earrings on.
