  • How to make a pair of toy earrings. Little Rat Earrings! - Step 1
    Step 1

    First, get your materials out and organized in some fashion. This is how I had mine in front of me ^^.

  • How to make a pair of toy earrings. Little Rat Earrings! - Step 2
    Step 2

    Take your needle (i had to use a button for this) and stick it through the rats head close to the eyes. I know this looks terrible, but he doesn't feel a thing, I promise!

    Step 3

    Holding one of the jump rings in the pliers, open the jump ring up.

    Step 4

    While the rat is STILL on the needle, loop the jump ring through the hole made by the pin. I found it easier if you pull the rat away from the needle THEN stick the jump ring in. the needle makes it SOOO much easier to find the hole, once you take the needle out its near impossible to find.

    Step 5

    After you get the jump ring in the rat, remove the rat from the needle. Take your fish hook earring and put it on the jump ring. ***REMEMBER: put the fish hook part on in the right direction, when you wear the earring you want the rats back facing out!!!***

    Step 6

    Once you get the fish hook earring part on the right way, take your pliers and close the jump ring VERY GOOD, otherwise you might have rats flying off your ears XD.

  • Step 7

    Put your earring in and pinch the fish hook part in until it will stay in your ear, and you have no fear of it falling out! (i forgot to do this one time and lost an earring while i was at the craft store, it fell into my hood thank goodness XD)

    **NO PICTURE FOR THIS PART**

  • Step 8

    Repeat steps 2-7 on your other ratty and then you are done! congrats, you now have a pair of ratty friends to go with you wherever you go!

My mom bought a bunch of crap like this for Halloween for the neighborhood kids, but none of them came by the house on Halloween, so she has a lot of them leftover. Now i can put them to use, yay!
