I’ve had this tutorial in my phone for a few months but it must’ve slipped my eyes to post this up! Here I wanted to make drop earrings using one of my current favorite items: rhinestones!
Do read below for the DIY tutorial:
What you need:
- Round nose pliers
- Flat noise pliers
- Pliers that can cut wire / scissors
- 8 oval rhinestones
- 4 headpins
- 4 small round beads
- 2 jumprings
- 2 earring hooks
Step #1:
Thread one headpin through one end of the rhinestone.
Step #2:
Thread a second headpin through the other hole on the rhinestone backing.
Step #3:
Thread the remaining 3 other rhinestones through the 2 headpins.
Step #4:
Use the flat nosed pliers and make a 90 degree twist inwards.
Step #5:
Use your round nosed pliers to make a loop at the ends. If the headpin is too long, snip the extra bits off!
Step #6:
The rhinestones should like the above now.
Step #7:
Attach a jumpring through the loops you’ve made. Here I’ve added beads to fill up the spaces in between as well!
Step #8:
Slip the earring hook through the jumpring before closing the jumpring.
Voila! Try making gemstone drop earrings in other various colourways! Enjoy! x
