I really wanted to call these "Date Night Earrings", but when you have 4 kids, you don't go out on dates. Anyway, they are so easy you can make them in Five Minutes - or just before you're going out.
These are for my sister-in-law.
You will need 2 Eye Pins. 2 Fish Hook Wires. Needle Nose Pliers. Something to cut the wire (I used my kitchen scissors). Beads. You can find these things at any craft store. I am particularly fond of Hobby Lobby.
1. Thread Beads onto eye pin.
2. Bend wire at the bottom.
3. Cut
4. Twist wire end into a circle (or oval). You just want to keep the beads from coming off.
5. Open eye and attach to the fish hook. Pinch closed.
6. Earring is done! (These are to match my Mother-in-laws
bracelet from yesterday)
So easy a two-year-old can do it!
This may be obvious, but if you are going to make a matching bracelet, earring set. Make the earrings first, so you have the right beads to make a matching pair. (it wasn't immediately obvious to me)

They are so lovely - I used to wear earrings all the time when I was working.

Thanks for sharing this. I just added myself to your followers, so I might go serious in learning to make simple jewelries for gifts. I will try to start soon for this New Year. I will have to furnish my craft box though.... (which is already a little bit full with scrap-booking, crochet and card-making tools).
Anyway, I might come back here soon....
Hello Rachel! Glad I found your site on here! I totally love the turquoise earrings found under the "Five Minute Earrings" category! Hope I can get to make a pair soon! Thanks for sharing the tutorial for this project! Cheers! :)
