Cute earrings for music lovers
This isn't that hard, just slightly time-consuming. Or maybe that's just because I had to make my swirls absolutely perfect. Haha.
Anyway, these are fun and cute and I hope you like them. :]

Step 1Take your paperclips and straighten them out as much as possible. You can use other wire if you wish, but paperclips keep their shape really well and then I can be sure both of my earrings are the same size.
-
Step 2Next, take your pliers and start bending the paperclip into swirly shapes at the bottom. Don't do too many swirls, as we still need a bunch of the paperclip for the rest of the shape.
-
Step 3It's easier to achieve the right swirl shape if you sort of make it come out like in the picture. You can always bend it back so it's flat later.
-
Step 4Okay, end the swirl and let the long bit of the paperclip come up, then bend it like in the picture.
-
Step 5Okay, here's the hard bit. You need to wrap the paperclip around the edge of the pliers to get the small circle. Bend the tail to your liking.
-
Step 6Optional: Bend the very tip of the tail over so it doesn't poke you like I did in the picture.
-
Step 7
After you've made both charms, open a jump ring and slip on the charm and the earring hook. Close the jump ring.
-
Step 8Do the same for the other charm, and you're done! Wear your earrings proudly!
I just made one!!!and they are soooo cute (:
