Step 1
Get all of your supplies ready (I only have one set of supplies because im only making one earring for my 2nd hole, if you are making 2 earrings make sure its the same size/ kind of button or it will look weird)
Step 2
Remove the long metal part of your old earrings by bending it until it breaks, sorry the image is blurry my camera is crappy
Step 3
Next add a VERY small amount of superglue near the open hole of the button, be very careful to only add a small amount u don't want to glue the button to your table/flat surface
Step 4
ok, this is THE TRICKIEST PART, while the glue is whet carefully,(I used a pair of tweezers) lower the long metal part into the hole with the glue be veryyy careful not to glue it to your own finger, after about 30 seconds you can let go of it.
Step 5
Wait 5 mins for it to dry to make sure it IS dry ( you dont want to put it in while wet and superglue it to your ear lol) when its dry your good to go put it in and enjoy :)

This would be way easier with earring posts and you would have to wreck the old pair of earings

Why didn't you just get some earring posts. They have a flat end and would make it alot easier. I'm from England but I am sure you can get them in the U.S
