About
Hex Nuts Rock!
I don't know why but I really love Hex Nuts! When I was a teenager I did my first Hex Nut Earring (which is one of my favourite earrings and I still wear it).
The other day I went to a hardware store and I found very cheap hex nut packs. I had to buy a pair! Since I bought them I've made a lot of jewlery with them (which I will upload progressively).
By the way, in my language, hex nuts are called "females" and I like to wear them as a feminist symbol: a hard and resistent female ready to rock!

You Will Need
-
Step 1You need two pliers, rings and hex nuts. Once you have them you're ready to start!
-
Step 2Take a ring, open it and insert two nuts. Then close the ring.
I'd recommend to close and open the rings with two pliers. It's easier than using only one.
-
Step 3Take another ring, open it and insert one nut and close it.
-
Step 4Repeat the third step as many times as you need to obtain the desired size.
-
Step 5To make the earrings I used 5 nuts and an earring hook. But the actual number depends on your particular tastes.
You only need to insert a ring in the last nut and insert the earring hook instead of a nut. And there goes your earring!
-
Step 6In case you want to do the bracelet:
On one end you have to insert a ring (where the lobster clasp will be attached to close the bracelet).
And on the other end, insert a ring and a clasp.
And here goes your bracelet!

Step 7And you're going to obtain a thing like this!
