Easy Earrings!

I love jewelry and making it. So this is just a really easy way to make earrings out of paper clips and embroidery thread!

First you bend the paper clip into a triangle
 Next, use hot glue to secure the end of the string to the paper clip. Then just begin wrapping it around until you cover the whole triangle, securing the end in place with hot glue. Make sure when you go over where the ends meet, you secure them tightly!
 Next, using hot glue to secure the string again, you begin wrapping the string around horizontally. You can go straight across or you can wrap it around randomly. Whichever you like better! When you're done, use a dab of hot glue to keep it on. It can also be careful to run a tiny bit of glue down the sides to make sure the strings don't unravel.
 and just do it for the second earring and you're good to go! Super easy and cute :)

 If you know how to cross stitch and are looking to make even more earrings, here is another option! Just cross stitch whatever pattern you want into a small piece of cross stitching fabric. Then, hot glue a button to an earring post. Then you just take the fabric and wrap it around the buttons using hot glue! Once you know how to cross stitch, this is super easy! These are the anchor earrings I made :)
