  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Pierce a hole through the top, center of the sim card. I used a thumb tack but you could use a pin or a small nail.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Make sure the holes are wide enough to get the jump rings through.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Open the jump ring using pliers. It's best to twist the jump ring sideways as it will open easier.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Slip the sim card on to the jump ring.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Slip an earring hook on to the jump ring and close.

ot get free sim cards call your local cell phone companies and ask if they have any old ones lying around. Sprint & Verizon don't use them, but try T Mobile, Rodgers, and Cigulair. I'm getting a lost one from the mall tomorrow! sweet!

You can get SIM cards free from Cingular. Just recently I had to pick one up for work and the chick told me that there was no code to charge for it so they are free! (This was at a Cingular store.)
