Free Guitar Pick Earrings Tutorial

My eldest daughter came home the other day and asked me if I could make her a pair of guitar pick earrings. Having never contemplated the idea before, I had to think about it a minute, but then I shrugged and figured, well, why not! So I dug into my beading supply box, filched a couple of guitar picks from The-Love-Of-My-Life, and here’s the design I came up with:

Guitar Pick Earrings

Supplies:
pliers
four small jump rings
two leverback earrings
small hole punch
2 guitar picks (medium weight)
two medium jump rings
six 6mm round washer beads
four large jump rings
two 3/0 beads

Instructions For Each Earring:

(I used two pairs of pliers to open and close jump rings.)

1. Attach small jump ring to earring.

2. Punch a hole in the guitar pick.

3. Attach medium jump ring to guitar pick and to small jump ring on earring.

4. Place three round washer beads on a large jump ring. Attach a small jump ring to the large jump ring and to the medium jump ring in the guitar pick.

5. Place one 3/0 bead on a large jump ring. Attach large jump ring to the medium jump ring in the guitar pick.

I think my guitar pick earrings turned out pretty cool…They took no time to make, and the Daughter is pleased. Who’d have thought…guitar pick earrings? Hope you enjoy my simple tutorial!
