Electric Company Earrings

That's what Olea calls these earrings.

We had a bunch of these star sunglasses from some activity a few years ago.

I found the lenses popped out by Zurich on Olea's bedroom floor and they were

falling into the trash can when I had an idea. So I pulled them out and took them down

to the studio. These are the tools and supplies I thought I would use.

I didn't end up using the round nose pliers.

It's totally easy.

Pop out lenses.

The second pair of glasses had much thinner lenses than the first pair, they both came from the same place and were the same brand, as far as I know. Party Land.

The thicker lenses are better I think, so if you have a choice...

Use 1/8th inch hole puncher to punch hole in plastic lens.

Open ring. I think these are almost a quarter inch rings. If you don't know anything about jewelry making and opening rings... open them up and down not apart.

Thread both the lens and the ear wire on the ring and close it. Down and up (not together)

The lens has a curve to it. Make sure when you are adding them to the ear wire that the curve faces the right direction for each ear. I wanted the center out and the star points cupping the side of my head, if that makes sense. So I guess there is a right and left earring in this pair. It's worth reopening the ring and fixing if you don't get it right the first time.

It's cute just like that but I decided to add a little bling with Sawarovski crystals I had on hand for Tatties.

There you have it friends. Dress it up any way you like.
