Great news! Whether you have never had your ears pierced or you just simply want to lessen the pressure on your pierced ears, then you can try wearing a clip on earring as it is really easy to create for yourself or give as a gift to your special someone. With the use of a number of basic tools and jewelry materials, you can definitely fashion your own clip on earrings which are truly as stunning as pierced earrings.
To start with, first you will need to find two clip-on-earring finders which are the base of the earring. Both screw-on findings and hinge clip findings are sold in jewelry craft and beading stores. You can freely choose your preferred color and shaped. As well, you will need a petite jump ring for every piece, that is, the little ring which will connect all the pieces altogether. Also, these should perfectly match the colors of the earring findings.
Moreover, you will also need some lightweight decorative beads, two head pins, and spacer beads for the ornamental part of the earring. It should be important to consider that the ornamental beads must be made of lightweight material; otherwise, if the materials are very heavy, it could directly pull the clip on earring right off your ear, which is somehow detrimental.
Afterward, to make the clip on earrings, you need to set up on a table all the necessary materials for one earring. Specifically, you will need one jump ring, a clip on earring base, one head pin and whatever beads you wish for. In addition, you will need a pair of round-nose jewelry pliers, which is very much useful as you play around with the beautiful beads on the head pin, until such time, you will get the spacing and design you truly like best. Put in mind that you must leave about a bead's worth of gap at the top of the head pin in order to make it easy for you to combine the beads.
Using the pliers, you need to bend the top of the head pin into a ring or loop which is not very closed as this will completely keep the attractive beads on the head pin; and also this will give the ornamental part a place to fasten on to the clip on the earring base. Then, you should set the head pin aside and position the clip on the earring base and the small jump ring. Slightly open the small jump ring and grip it onto the loop positioned on the clip on the earring finding. Then slowly close the small jump ring using the pliers. After that, clasp the head pin loop onto the small jump ring and securely close the loop using the pliers. Do the same with the other earring materials. Make sure the ornamental beads will perfectly and beautifully match the first one.
And finally, when you are totally finished making the clip on earrings, keep in mind that you need to sterilize, using rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab, the parts which will touch the ears. Lastly, you need to try the clip on earrings on to test the fit and weight of the tantalizing clip on earrings that you have personally created.
