For this project, you will need:

-one roll of duct tape, any color (I recommend a print to add more pop)

-flush-cutter (a jewelry making tool, available at most craft stores)

-round-nose pliers (also a jewelry making tool, available at most craft stores)

-scissors

-two eye pins (beading accessory, available at most craft stores)

-two fishhook earrings (available at most craft stores)

Step 2: Cut Your Duct Tape

Roll your duct tape out about 2 inches or more (it depends on how wide you want the earrings). Keep in mind you will be folding it in half. Then cut the duct tape from the roll.

Step 3: Fold Your Duct Tape

Fold your duct tape in half and trim the edges so no sticky part of the duct tape is showing.

Step 4: Poke a Hole

Step 5: Add the Eye Pin

Using the round-nose pliers, open the eye part of the eye pin and stick it through the hole you pierced in the duct tape. Then use the round-nose pliers to close the eye of the eye pin completely so the duct tape cannot fall out of the eye part.

Step 6: Cut the Eye Pin

Step 7: Add the Fishhook Earring

Using the round-nose pliers, take the top of the eye pin and circle it around the pliers. Before closing the circle completely, take the fishhook earring and put the bottom of the fishhook through the circle you made with the pliers. Then, using the pliers, carefully close the circle completely.
