When I saw these earrings pinned from this shop, I knew I wanted some. When I realized they were made from milk jugs, I knew I could make my own!
All you need to do is cut a square panel from the side of a milk jug.
Cut six narrow strips from that square. Two strips need to be longer, two a little shorter and the other two even shorter…like the picture below. Sorry I don’t have measurements, but I just eye-balled it.
Use scissors to round off the corners so it looks nicer. Use a small hole punch to punch holes in each end of your strips.
Take one strip of each length and thread one end onto an earring jump ring. Then, making sure the shortest is on the inside, thread the other end on so each strip makes a loop. Close the jump ring and attach to an earring hook.

These are so cute, I never would have guessed that they were from a milk jug!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing. You would never know. I love ideas like this, so creative. Time to fish the milk carton out of the bin!
ReplyDeleteI probably couldn't get my wife to wear these, but my little girl would have fun making them.
