Earring-Making - it just doesn't get easier than this!

Earring-making is a hit with all ages.  All you need are lots of pretty beads, earring-wires, and head pins.  I recommend getting some 3-in-1 tools, but you can also get round pliers, wire cutters, and flat pliers.  You can find all these things at craft stores, or just at Wal-Mart.



All you need to do is put beads on two head pins (how you want your earrings to look), then clip the excess, turn the top of the wire in a circle, and add the earring hook.  Easy, peasy, right?  Are you completely lost?  Then you may want to watch this video:

Teens, adults, and younger kids love this craft.  I have even had a couple young boys make earrings for their moms. Awesome!
