Festive Holiday Earrings

    Hello! Today I will show you how to make incredibly easy and cute Holiday Earrings! These can be for yourself, or you can give them as a gift. So here's how to make them:

You will need (for 1 set):
2 mini ornaments, color of your choice
2 jump rings*
2 earring hooks* (I used silver fishhooks)
Jewelry pliers (depending on how stiff your jump rings are)

*These can be purchased at a jewelry or craft store for VERY cheap. I got mine at JoAnn's fabric store.

    First, pick out what color of ornaments you want. Next, take your jump ring and, using either your hands or the pliers, open the ring so you can put the ornament and hooks onto it. Make sure your hooks have a little loop on the bottom of them so you can slide them onto the jump ring. Then, put your ornament onto the ring. By now, the jump ring will be hard to get a hold of, but take the ends and twist them back together, making sure there is little or no space between them. This could take a few tries, I had to do it 3 times before I finally got it. Once you have reconnected the jump ring, your earrings will be done! Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
