Making your own earrings is a fun way to refresh your beauty routine every week. There are countless ways to create new stylish earrings at home. You can go for simple drop earrings or go for ball-shaped ears. Either way, they are a great way to learn some wireworking skills.
Drop earrings are a great way to learn the basics of wireworking. When working with metal, you have to account for the fact that it can not be placed in shape. When creating a ball-shaped ear, there must be some length left over when creating the rest of the ear.

Get some cardboard
You will also need some scissors and a bone
Chevron-shaped bone
When you are ready to make your ears, cut out a circle about half the width of your head. This will be your ear socket. Then, fold one side over the other and shape the ear.
Now, fold one side over the other and form the curve of the ear. Add some glue and let dry. Now you can put them on!
You can put them on immediately or you can wait until they are completely dry. They will take about a week or so to get right enough.
Cut the cardboard into curved shapes
Then you can use them! Most craft stores have curr-shaped templates that you can borrow or buy.
Using scissors, trim the ends of the ears slightly. Then, fold down the bottom of the ear and stick a wire inside to pin.
Pin the ears onto your head where they meet at the top of the head. Make sure to keep an overlap on one side so it does not get cut off.
Now, you can wear them! If you want a little more shape, add some glue or thread around the edges of the earrings and hook them up. They look great when done!
These could also be made in black or white if you do not like showing them through your hair.
Bake the pieces in the oven
How to make elf ears at home is a bullet point? Yes, it is! Paragraphs are hard! We know! Let’s do it!
Many people make the mistake of cutting the pieces in half and then making another shape out of them. This is incredibly difficult and time consuming.
Only make one pair of ears at a time because if you add another ear, it won’t cook properly. If you need to take them down, just bake them slightly longer and they will come down.
To make this craft easier, put something hard like ceramic baking ware or clay on top of the dish before putting the ears in. Make sure they are completely covered too so they do not get burned.
Let them cool down
Once your ears are ready to assemble, let them cool down so they can harden. This takes a few days depending on the weather. You will need to wrap them in a dusting of foil or foil would be destroyed.
Now is the time to put them together! Once both ends are connected, pull up on one end and let it stretch slightly. Then pull up on the other end and stretch slightly. Done!
Now decorate them! If you want, you can add some glue or tape to hold them together, but that is not needed if they are just waiting for that.
Put a little paint or mustard powder in the middle of your earrings and tie a soft cord around those to hang. Or use clear string and make a simple knot at the top to hang.
Use glue to attach them to your head
You can also make them using hot glue. Just be sure to leave enough space between the headband and your head to allow for adequate gluing the ears in.
Epiclyears are a pretty new fashion phenomenon. You must be a extreme ear lover to go this route, but it certainly is a beautiful way to show your love of music.
To make them, you first need to cut two pieces of paper roughly the same size as your eardrum and glue them together at the bottom. Then, you can shape and decorate your ears! You can use fabric or paper mache if you do not have glue available.
Keep them on until they dry completely
If you want them to stay wet longer, you must take care to keep them dry. When making them, make sure to let the activity water run through them a few times to ensure they do not get wet.
To make these ears, you will need white yarn, glue, and scissors. Start by creating a loop of glue about an inch long and wrap it around the top of your head once. Then, draw two parallel lines of glue about an inch long and wrap them together together just like an ear.
To make the directionality of the ears, we will need to do two more stages of making these. First, draw a line about an inch long and then draw a curve that matches that line. Next, pull away the line and reveal the inside of the ear.
Paint them however you want
If you are going for a soft, gentle look for your elf, then do not worry about adding any paint or paint decorations on top of the flat, hard cease. You can, however, add some cute gear or decorations such as fuzzy socks or shoes.
The easiest way to make the ears soft and gentle is to just use water soluble glue and paste them on. Put some glue in each ear and let it dry. Then carve some letters or numbers onto them to create a gear system.
If you are going for a harder look such as combatant or fashionista mode for your elf, then go for something reinforced with hard plastic. You can use either CD cases or re-writable tapes to do this.
Make sure they are protected from rain and water so they do not break down.
Use different colors for different occasions
Using audrey earrings is a great way to spend some time. Most retail audrey earrings are clear, with only the earring base showing. You can find some colored ones, but these are not the general case.
Many artists use different colors to illustrate their style. For instance, I know many people who color their ears green for health reasons, or dark blue for loyalty to a brand. These are just examples, there is no limit to what you can do with audrey ears.
You can buy white ones for your non-earring parts like wrist bones or neck bones, or you can get colorful ones like You decide if they are Audreys!
