Recycle Belt
In this instructable, you'll see how I turned old belt buckles into earrings.
Materials Needed
- Old Belt Buckles
- Cotton Thread
- Glass Beads - glass beads were handcrafted by me, however you can use any beads of your choice.
- Seed Beads
- Sequins
- Earrings Pins and Hooks
- Glue - super glue, Epoxy, or E6000
- Jewelry Pliers - your of choice which pliers work best for you when crafting
Let's Begin by Wrapping
Using jewelry pliers (round nose), wrap earring pin completely around, leaving a loop on the corner tip of buckle.
Adding Cotton Thread
Tie a knot, then wrap cotton thread slow and neatly around buckle. Add a tip of glue occasionally to secure cotton in place. Note: I used Scotch create super glue, however you can use E6000 or Epoxy.
Adding Earring Pins, Seed Beads, and Glass Beads
Using round nose jewelry pliers, take earring pin and double loop it by wire wrapping one end, add beads like a pattern (seed bead, glass bead, seed bead) then repeat wire wrap. Cut off excess with jewelry pliers (cutters).
Add Earring Hooks and You're Finish
Use jewelry pliers to add earring hooks. You're finish. Additional pair in a different color. Thank you for reading this instructable.
