How to Make Earrings: 

Making Earrings using a clay. 

Step 1: Take a baking clay of your choice of color. 

Step 2: Roll the clay into a ball like shape.

Step 3: Repeat the same with all the colors.

Step 4: Now mix all the colors together to create a funky pattern. 

Step 5: Roll into a flat thin shape using a rolling pin.

Step 6: Take a shape cutter of your choice and cut through the clay to get the desired shape. You can also use a blade to cut out and carve shapes of your choice. 

Step 7: Once that’s done, pierce a small hole at the top using a pen or pencil, so that the hook could fit through. 

Step 8: Place the clay on a baking tray and bake at 180⁰ C for 2-3 minutes or until the clay hardens up. 

Step 9: After it has been cooled down, insert the earring hook through the hole that we poked before or you can also stick it using a hot glue gun. 

Make Earrings Using a Marble. 

Step 1: Take a marble of any color. 

Step 2: Heat it over a candle for about 20 seconds using a plier and keep a glass of ice cold water handy. 

Step 3: Immediately dip the heated marble in the water. The marble cracks from within due to the sudden temperature change.

Step 4: You will see a pattern that is formed within the marble.

Step 5: Wipe the marble thoroughly and stick the hook using a glue. 

Make Earrings using a Satin Ribbon.

Step 1: The most feasible way to make tassel earrings is by using a Satin or Silk ribbon. Take a wide and broad ribbon. 

Step 2: Measure 7 centimeters from one end and cut it. 

Step 3: Using a scissor or a blade, start ripping of its strands. Continue doing it till you reach the very top. 

Step 4: Once this has been done, overlap its sides, one above the other and tie a knot at one end using a thread. 

Step 5: Suspend a round knob where you have tied the knot and attach a hook to it. 

Step 6: You can also use different beads and customize as per your needs.

Make Hoop Earrings using a wire. 

Step1: Take a thin metal wire, a bottle cap and a nose plier. Bend the wire using the bottle cap or any other hard object but of the same radius. Once a desired shape is achieved, cut the wire.

Step 2: Bend one end of the wire into an obtuse angle and roll the other end into a small hook just like we did it in Step 3 of How to make hooks. 

Step 3: Place the hoop onto a surface and even it out using a hammer or any hard object. 

Step 4: You can wear them plain or customize it using colorful bead assortments. 

Make Earrings using a Safety pin.

These Earrings are super easy to make and look really cool. All you need is a safety pin and some beads (optional). You might want to sanitize the safety pin before putting it on to avoid your piercing being infected. You can also make a chain by locking one pin onto the other. Make sure you chose a thin safety pin. 

Make Earrings Using a Paper Quill.

 Quill the paper into your desired shape and pattern and attach the hook. 

OR 

 Step1: Take a thin A4 sized paper and color it as per your needs. 

Step 2: Draw a long thin cone on the paper and cut it accordingly.
