Hi!
For this instructable, I will show you how I make great earrings with just a few supplies and within a few minutes:)
You can make so many different looks by changing the lengths, metal variations/, adding to the amount used, alternating choice of metals (ie; gold& silver) or the style of chain used. The possibilities are endless! These are also a good way to use up any left over scraps of chain from other projects.

Supplies

  • Earring hooks (2)
  • Jump Rings (2)
  • Chain of your choice (I'm using gold for these today see pic)
  • Pliers (2)
  • Wire Cutters/snips (1)
  • Ruler/tape measure (1)

STEP 1: Measure Your Chain:)

So the first thing to do is measure and cut all the chain needed for the project,

we will need 5 pcs for each earring,

measure and cut the following amount lengths:

  • 1.5 inch (x4)
  • 2 inch (x4)
  • 3 inch (×2)

Add the Chain Onto the Jump Ring

Next, take the open jump ring and add the pieces of chain in the following order:

  • 1.5 inch
  • 2 inch
  • 3 inch
  • 2 inch
  • 1.5 inch

Add the Earhook & Close the Jump Ring:)

So the final step is to add the earring hook and close the jump ring,

Using the 2 pairs of pliers, grab the ring on both ends and pull them toward eachother to close the

jump ring and complete the earring.

Finishing Up

So that’s it! We are done, now you can look at your work, and correct anything that needs correcting. If you have a chain that’s a little longer you can trim it, make sure that your jump ring is closed completely, and admire your work:)
