Q&A for How to Make Your Own Earrings

Sure, go ahead and be creative!

You can buy them at WalMart or Hobby Lobby.

You can also use polymer clay, or air-dry clay. Just make sure you follow the instructions well.

Not at all. The aluminum won't touch your skin; only the earring posts will. It won't hurt at all.

It depends on what bead you're using. If it's just plastic, wooden, or glass, yes, you may use nail polish BEFORE stringing them onto your headpin or eyepin. If you wait until after you've made the earring, then you will get the nail polish on other beads, and could possibly cause an ear infection.

Glitter sometimes costs 1 or 2 dollars. For the beads, look it up on internet or take some from your old earrings. It is really inexpensive!

You can make some with a short piece of jewelry wire. It should only be about 2 cm long. Bend it with your fingers into the hook shape. If you can't bend it, then the wire is too thick for your ears.

You can easily find a large supply of those materials in you local shop, but if there's nothing you like you can go online and check out online craft stores like eBay, Amazon, Wish, local craft stories with websites or jeweler supplies resellers.

A big paperclip could work. Also you can find wire at your local craft store.

It depends on how you think of it. Some people like thicker, bolder earrings, on the other hand I personally like thin earrings. However, if you don't want it to lose shape, then try with a medium thickness.
