Quick Fix Jewelry Hack for a Broken Earring
We all have a favorite pair of earrings that we can’t wear anymore because the post has broken off.
Here’s a quick fix jewelry hack for your earrings, so you won’t have to say goodbye to those broken ones anymore!
Bonus: You can recycle some of your single earrings that you haven’t been able to wear anyway.
Tools and materials:
- Old, unwanted stud earring
- Glue
1. Don’t despair!
Oh no! The post has broken off the back of your favorite earring! Don’t despair, you can fix this!
2. Recycle an unwanted stud earring
Grab an old stud earring, maybe one of those singles taking up room in your jewelry box.
Remove the front of the stud earring so you just have the post to reuse.
3. Earring repair from the front
Stick the post through your broken earring from front to back, through any gap near the top of the earring, close to where the broken post was.
You’ll want to position it so your repair is roughly in the same spot as the post on the unbroken earring.
Ta-da – your earring is fixed!
The flat part of the post is barely visible on the front of your earring, but there’s no way it will break off again.
4. Earring repair from the back
If you don’t want the flat part of the post visible at all, then you can simply glue it in place to the back of your broken earring.
