2 Super-Unique Ways to Make DIY Bobby Pin Earrings
In today’s tutorial, I'll show you how to make DIY bobby pin earrings. I chose to make one pair of earrings with seed beads, and one with long tube beads, but the variations you can create are endless. Happy DIY earring crafting!
Tools and materials:
- Wirecutter
- Chain nose pliers
- Superglue
- Wire
- Beads of choice
- Sandpaper or nail file
1. Cut
Cut about 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) of wire.
2. Bend the end of the wire
With chain nose pliers, make a tiny bend on one end of the wire.
3. Bend again
Measure approximately 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inches) from the bend at the end of the wire, and bend the wire again to make a “C” shape.
4. Add beads
Slide your beads onto the longer side of the wire. You can use seed beads for a classic look...
...or one long metal tube bead for a sleek, modern look.
5. Glue
Put a tiny drop of superglue on the bottom of the last bead to hold it in place.
6. Cut excess wire
Once the glue is dried, cut the excess wire.
7. File edges
File the rough edges of the wire.

Yeah, I'm inspired. But there were no bobby pins listed - or pictured - on either of the material lists or on the picture captions. (Mind you, it's probably more hygienic to use craft wire.)
Thank you so much for your input!!
