Make earrings out of paperclips easy! You´ll need a couple of paperclips, earring backs, a wire cutter and a utility knife. 1. Open the paperclip and twirl it so that you’ll get a spiral. 2. Remove the rubber from the start of the spiral using the knife. This part will go in your ear, so make sure it is long enough. 3. Cut of the superfluous part at the end of the spiral. This is it. You might wanna burn the metal before put it in your ear!
Very creative, yet simple. Thank you for the tutorial! Will have to follow your blog now!
Right on Jessica
I love this idea!
I tried it just now and made a couple of tweaks: I left the plastic coating on the paper clip, and now my ears are not irritated (a big bonus, since I usually have to wear sterling silver).
Also, I left the paper clips in a “paper clip” shape instead of spiralling them. I like the way it looks!
Nice going Shannon
