How To Make DIY Earrings As Gifts
1. Make Your Earrings Without Tools
- Prepare your ear wires – Open the small round loop in each ear wire gently (where the ball hook is) with your fingers
- Thread the earring charm from the back of the ear wire to the base of the small round loop
- Carefully close the loop with your fingers
- Repeat for the other ear wire and earring charm
- Create as many pairs you need for your gorgeous handmade gifts
2. Download The Earring Gift Cards
If you have not done so already, download your Printable Earring Gift Cards.
3. Open And Print The Earring Gift Cards
- Open your earring gift cards in software that can read and print PDF files
- Load your white cardstock into your printer. I recommend using the highest quality print settings or photo paper settings
- Send to print
- Once printed, let the ink dry
4. Cut Out The Earring Gift Cards
- Use your scissors to cut out each gift card along the borders
- Use your hole punch to create a hole on each ear of the image on the card
- Put each earring in each ear so that the front of the earring can rest on the front of the gift card
- Add the closures to the back of the earrings to prevent them from slipping off the card
- Repeat for each gift card
And there you have it – quick and easy DIY Earrings As Gifts! You just have to fill out the card, place it in a cute gift box and your gift is set. I can’t wait to hear how your earrings turned out!
PS – Care Suggestions For Your Easy DIY Earrings
Whether you are making these fun boho earrings for yourself or as gifts, here are some suggestions on how to care for your statement earrings that I got from one of my favorite earring parts sellers:
- Avoid wearing the DIY Earrings in swimming pools or the ocean. Chemicals in the pool or salt water may destroy those gorgeous handmade beauties. The message is: don’t get your “couture” wet!
- To clean your fab DIY Earrings, gently polish them with a soft, lint-free cloth
- When not wearing your DIY Earrings, store them in a cool dry place.
- Avoid wearing the earrings to bed. First, ouch. Second, there are some pointy edges that may disturb your peaceful slumber and bed linens. Just sayin’.
