Quick combo: DIY earrings
Here are some DIY methods using paper clips and wire to make trendy earrings.
Paper clip earrings: Open a paper clip and reshape it into a round-edged triangle. Slide the earring hook onto the triangular-shaped clip and secure the ends of the clips together using tape. Tie a knot with the floss on one end and wrap the floss around the clips until it is fully covered. Knot it once wrapped.
Wire wrapped stone earrings: Wrap a wire around the top of the stone and continue doing so until it has a thick steady grip over the stone. Using a plier to twist the wire, create a loop over the stone. Slide the earring hook into the loop and secure both ends.
