-
Gather all necessary supplies.
-
Cut a piece of wire about 4-6 inches long...
-
...like zis...
-
Bend your wire into a zig zag pattern emulating the one in picture 4. I use flat nosed pliers to make the shape :)
-
Using needle nose pliers, bend the top piece, and bottom piece of wire, and make some nice, neat loops.
I chose to live on the edge and be a little funky by making the top piece into a swirl! Go me!! -
Now using a ring mandrel, dowel, or anything circular (a pen! a lipstick!) Bend your wire around it to make round.
-
Your finished product should look this.
-
Next, cut a new piece of wire. As long as your little heart desires!
Start threading some pretty beads, charms, etc..onto it. -
Making another loop with your needle nose pliers, attach the beaded wire to your cuff.
-
Wrap the cuff around your ear, it should fit snugly, and HUZZAH!! You are now sporting a rockin piece of bling bling for your ear!

Awesome- I played with it a bit (pinched the zigzag together instead of letting it stay open), and now I have a pair of 'clip on' earrings. *grins*
