I made these earrings using my old headphones. Follow along and create your own or they can be a gift. Nothing beats handmade. Let's Go!

Step 1: Gather Materials

Items needed to make earrings:

Old Headphones - I used my old Apple EarPods
6 Jump Rings
2 Earring Hooks
2 Eye Pins
2 Crimp Beads - I found these at a thrift store, so I used them as crimp beads.
E6000 glue, you can also use Epoxy
Jewelry Pliers
Scissors
Nail Polish - your choice of color
2 Chain Links
6 Charms - your choice

Step 2: Cut Headphones

Using scissors or jewelry pliers (cutters), cut headphones from wires. I started with the scissors first, then I used the cutters.

Step 3: Paint Headphones

Using nail polish, paint headphones. Allow to dry thoroughly before moving on to step 4. Nail polish came from dollar store.

Step 4: Adding Jump Rings and Charms

First - open jump ring, twisting apart, not pulling apart. Add a charm to jump ring, then slide jump ring on rubber tip. Charms came from old chains.

Step 5: Adding Crimp Beads

These crimp beads are quite unusual, however they worked perfectly. I believe their used in sewing materials. I found them in a thrift store.

Slide crimp bead on rubber tip.

Step 6: Adding Eye Pins

Using E6000 glue, place a few drops on eye pin, then push eye pin down through hole. Use jewelry pliers to squeeze crimp beads together, locking in place. Add a tip of glue to the top for extra hold. Let it dry before adding additional jump rings and charms.
