DIY Threaded Rhinestone Hoop Earrings

You can buy your own pair of fun threaded rhinestone earrings for $5-$15 each pair, but that gives you just ONE pair. If you want to get a pair for many different outfits or for different seasons, then you’ll go broke! Spend a few minutes and make them yourself with this tutorial from Just B.

What You’ll Need:

• Rhinestone chain (can be purchased at art supply or craft stores)
• Hoop earrings (in the same metal color as whatever the rhinestone chain comes on)
• Embroidery floss (whichever color you’d like!)
• Hot glue gun

Directions:

1. Cut the rhinestone chain into 2 strips of the length of about half of the hoop earring.
2. Lightly apply hot glue to the rhinestone chain and place onto the bottom half of the hoop (or if you’d like to show more rhinestone, then put it more toward the front of the hoop). Doesn’t need to be neat since the thread will be going over the glued part.
3. Tie a knot around the earring on the BACK of the hoop with the floss. Put it between the first 2 rhinestones.
4. Wrap the floss between each rhinestone (back and forth) making sure to wrap the side of the floss that sticks out from the knot back into the rhinestones. You don’t want to cut the end because the floss will unravel.
5. When you reach the end, switch directions and go back toward the other side of the rhinestone chain. This should cover the whole chain.
6. When you’re back to the other end, double knot the end of the floss and snip. Since this is the back of the earring, it will be barely noticeable.
7. Put them on -TAH-DAH!!! Makes a great gift. So easy you could make DOZENS of them.
