Some creative earing ideas.

No tutorial.. just some pictures for inspiration, but they look very easy to work out.  Some basic materials like superglue and jewellery findings and the gorgeous everyday items you want to feature should do you for these projects.
(Although some like the light bulb earrings look like they used a soldering iron.)


 you will need diamond strength jewellery glue for this one



 A soldering iron was used the the creation of these earrings.  I LOVE THEM!



 A small drill piece was used to make the hole in the power buttons


 Diamond strength glue and an earring back is needed for the computer chip earrings.


 A drill piece, small anvil, a mallet and a drill piece designed to drill through silver should be used for the cutlery earrings. 


 The pencil earrings need some some paint (for the eraser end) a awl for the hole and some jewellery findings.
Have fun!

  1. I tried the zipper pulls once (in fact, my plan was to give them to you, Tui). But the relatively heavy pull was stronger than my soft lobe, so instead of sitting at the front of my lobe, it bent the lobe backwards and hung below. Not an attractive look. It might work better on younger, firmer ears.
