Step 1Mark the spot for making a hole on the shell. Place the sea shell on a wooden board. Gently rotate the awl on the marked spot and apply pressure carefully. Once a small hole is made you can stop rotating the awl. Now, turn the shell around. Use the awl carefully to enlarge the hole and give it a smooth round shape. Similarly make hole on another sea shell, we'll need two of them since we're making earrings.
-
Step 2I used faux pearl beads. Choose the pearl bead of your choice (white, off-white, cream color look great!). Simply glue the pearl bead on the center of the shell as shown in the picture of this step. Allow the glue to dry in case you're using white glue or craft glue.
-
Step 3You will need 2 jump rings and 2 earring hooks to complete the earrings. I made them from silver coated craft wire.
-
Step 4Attach the jump ring with the sea shell through the hole we've made before and also attach the hook through the jump ring. Done! You can use different kinds of shells and pearl beads for more variation. Enjoy!
