You don't have to have a big budget to have a pair of earrings from a magazine. These are quick and simple and totally chic!

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 03 10 154334 img 4890

    Start by cutting 2 thin strips from your chosen magazine page.

  2. Small 2014 03 10 154858 img 4893

    Bend your paper into a small loop. When you're content with the size, bend it and start your next loop.

  3. Small 2014 03 10 154935 img 4894

    Your middle loop should be the biggest. When you're content with the size, bend it and start your final loop.

  4. Small 2014 03 10 155009 img 4895

    You should now have 3 loops that look something like this.

  5. Small 2014 03 10 155026 img 4897

    Wrap clear tape tightly around the top of your paper. Trim any tape/paper as needed so it's all the same length.

  6. Small 2014 03 10 155112 img 4899

    Taking your needle; make a quick hole through all the layers of paper on top.

  7. Small 2014 03 10 155133 img 4900

    The last step is to add a jump ring and an earring hook. This is where you will need your jewelry pliers.

  8. Small 2014 03 10 155156 img 4902

    Repeat all these steps with your second piece of paper, making sure they match the size of the first earring. And you're done!
