DIY Silver Earrings
For collectors and lovers of silver earrings, there is no greater joy than that of acquiring a new pair. And the joy doubles in magnitude when those earrings are a result of your own efforts. Yes, there are numerous ways of making amazing earrings yourself at home! Ranging from simple shapes to ones that are a bit tricky, the making and crafting of these Do It Yourself earrings depend upon your skill, creativity and the availability of necessary materials. You can always start off with some easy, simple earrings and then proceed to the designs you want! Here are two easy methods of creating fun silver earrings.
1. Silver hoop earrings: Sterling silver hoops are extremely easy to make and they are always in vogue as they look great with just about anything. What you need to create these DIY earrings are two pieces of sterling silver wire (size depends upon how big you want the hoops to be), and you will also need wire cutters, pliers, metal file or sandpaper, and a circular container for wrapping the wire around. Now all you need to do is wrap each wire around the container to make equal, uniform hoops. At one end of the wire, use the pliers to create a small closed, loop. Bend the other end of the wire at an angle upward, so that this end can be inserted into the loop to make a lock. Use the sand paper or file to smooth the ends and to blunt them to avoid causing injury with any jagged edges.
2. Pop tab silver earrings: These earrings will cost you nothing to create although they are not real silver either! And you don’t even need a lot of material, plus they look extremely funky. All you need are a few soda can pop tabs and a cutter. Now you can let your creativity and imagination flow. You can either link these silver tabs to one another to make a long chain, or you can make a more complex design by linking the tabs vertically and horizontally. Then you need to attach hooks at the end to give the finishing touch!
These easy DIY silver earrings are excellent as easy, cheap and amazingly unique birthday or random gifts for your friends as well!
