This is so easy and basically free. They take 5 minutes to make Plus they make great gifts. I got so many compliments wearing mine! Feel free to share your versions (please?).

Instructions

  1. Small img 1258

    Gather all of your single dangly earrings that are missing their pairs.

  2. Small img 1261

    Choose the ones you want to be on the necklace and arrange them on top of each other in the order you want.

  3. Small img 1274

    Take the bottom earring and slip the top through a jump ring.

  4. Small img 1278

    Bend a loop in the top of the earring.

  5. Small img 1280

    Cut off the excess wire.

  6. Small img 1281

    Repeat these steps for the rest of the earrings, going in the order you picked.

  7. Small img 1282

    Soon you should have them all connected to the jump ring.

  8. Small img 1283

    Attach another jump ring to the top of the first one and close it. (This is so it lays flat when you use it.)

  9. Small img 1287

    Slip a string though the 2nd jump ring and tie a knot at the end. My string was about 16 inches long. Now you have a cute new accessory!
