Question

Do those earring hurt your skin when you put them on?

Community Answer

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

Question

Can I put nail polish on my earrings to make them look better?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How much money will it cost to get the materials?

Mallory

Community Answer

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!

Question

What if I can't find earring hooks?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How thick should the wire be to through the ear and not loose shape?

kimberly ma

Community Answer

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.
