finally made something for myself to wear

realized i mainly make stuff for friend and family or my shop

Hi anon!

Sure. I'm going to leave out any steps that are business specific like making our earring cards (these come in as business cards), and packaging, etc, since I assume you want to make these yourself and don't need the rest.

Tools I use: Jewelry pliers (2) Wire Cutter Pieces I use Jump rings x4 or 6 depending. Fishhook ends x2 (or clip on equivalent). Chain x2 Charms x4.

I also have two rubber earring backings that I attach to my cards. You could use whatever backings you wanted.

The chain I get in rolls and I cut it to approximately 4". You need to make sure it has holes in it big enough for a jump ring to fit through. You could go with whatever length you wanted to use. I use wire cutters for this. I cut myself two pieces of chain. I then use a jump ring(I open and close this with both sets of pliers, though I think I've heard there are jump ring tools. I haven't tried them though!) to attach the charm to a hole through the chain. Once I've secured the jump ring to the chain, I put the chain through the hole in fishhook piece. This is where another jump ring might be needed. For example, our silver earrings don't have a jump ring attached to the fishhook because the chain is thin enough, but our gold ones do because our gold chain is a bit thicker and can't move through the hole in the earring piece easily. If your chain is thin enough to go through the fishhook piece, then you're good! If not, you might need to attach a jump ring to the earring piece.

Once I have the chain through the earring piece, I then repeat what I did prior which is attach a jump ring to the charm and then the chain!

Then I repeat all of the above and end up with a pair of fidget earrings I can pull back and forth!

It would be fun and delightful, but also I'm scared that this tips over the line from cool!weird to creepy!weird (not the fun creepy the Red Flag creepy)? I'm still working on not worrying about what others think and I still worry about that stuff

hey cuties i just made these and wanted to share them w you 🥑
