Today’s DIY comes from my two butterflies , changing your clip on earrings into rings.

These are really easy to make – from old clip-on earrings. Here’s how:

You may also want to use a metal file to file any rough edges off of the clip-on.

Cut small slits in a piece of cardboard and slide ring blanks in to hold steady. Apply adhesive and attach earring. If you want your rings to be really durable you may want to use a strong epoxy adhesive.
Let adhesive dry completely – at least overnight- before wearing your rings.

A few of my favorites:

Next ring comes from Ira Vilaga

-Plain rings as the shank
-Buckles as the head/setting
-Adhesive/bonding agent like glue
Basically, I am making these cause
I want to have rings that not only give statement but are unique. I just bought two designs cause I wanna try first. This is so cheap and it’s so easy to make.

Try these technique the next time you go thrifting or have an old earring you don’t want to wear anymore.
