With a pin or something pointy and sharp. You could bang a nail through it too if you like or attempt punching a hole through it with an eye-lit gun. It's not too difficult to do with just a pin though.

Use a dremel. It's a small hand held drill unit for crafts

i used a safty pin, that i heated up in a candle's flame. It worked like a charm
I made a pair and used a needle that was heated but i should have used a thinker needle. I also put a light weight chain on the earring hook and made the earring a bit longer.
There is a much easier way to do this and it looks great. One of my top sellers at my site. Buy a leather punch..I know its about $12 but it has many many uses!! It can punch through the thickest guitar picks or leather when putting on spikes, studs, grommets.. you name it. I even use it for my bottle cap jewelry ! :-) They put in a jumpring or two.. add to earring hook and yay! perfection
I started off by using a sewing needle and heating it up. It started to melt the plastic around the hole, so I decided to use a dril. You just need a 1/16" drill bit and it works awesomely. No mess or anything. Just make sure you drill on top of a piece of wood or even an empty shoe box.
I also make guitar pick earrings. I use foredom to drill the hole, then attach a couple jumprings, earwires and they are done and are a very popular item.
Nice, I`ll give it a go! But will do it perforating the pointy part instead... might look better but won't be able to play guitar however... you can though!
hey! i love cut out + keep and i just started today. i am really excited that i have another web site to look forward to going on. can you please send me a friend request?? or email me at laurenlizzie@msn.com

I just used a thumb tack to pierce the hole, I guess it depends on the thickness of your pick though.

I love these! It just goes to show... just about anything can be made into a pair of earrings!
Much love,
