How To Create Your Own Rhinestone Earrings

By Georgia Diaz


Rhinestone earrings are very beautiful. They make wonderful presents for the people you love. The reason why ladies love them is because they shine just like diamonds only that they are cheaper. They are relatively easy to make if you have the time and the necessary materials. There are many designs you can create. They range from stud to chandelier earrings. Only your imagination and your budget can limit the designs you can come up with.

To make studs you need to find many small pieces of rhinestones. You can also get large ones if you want. You need to have glue to get the pieces together. The first step should be to choose the design that you want to create. One idea is to choose one stone for the stud. You can select one stone for the center position while the small ones create an outside circle.

Another way is to pick a square stone and place different colored stones in the center of that bigger square one. To ensure that the pieces stick together it is important to use hot glue. If your design involves several stones you should begin with the biggest. Add the small pieces to the large one after you have applied glue.

The glue should be applied at the back of the large stone and the earring piece pressed on it. It is advisable to let the glue dry. This process will only take one or two minutes. Any extra glue should be removed from the pieces. Different steps are used to make earrings that dangle from the ears.

Begin by joining one banded row on the middle of a wire made from metal. Use the beads to determine the length of your earring. If you have to change the size this is the right stage to do that. Use the proper adhesive to put everything in position. If you want to create tapered ends cut the sides down. If you want to maintain a constant length then you do not have to change anything.

You can make as many rows as the space allows. To make the design more attractive use a banded row of rhinestones on top of the wire. Add small pieces on any gaps to make the earring appear fuller. Make sure you glue the rhinestones and the back of the earring strongly. Remove traces of the excess adhesive.

It is advisable to use flat-back rhinestones when making an earring. This is because it easy to apply glue on these stones. They are also available in a wide range of colors. Choosing the right adhesive is very important. If you choose the wrong glue your earring might fall apart after some time. Clean surfaces that need glue applied on them. It is also important to place rhinestones on areas that are dry and clean.

Any kind of metal will work for the back section of the earring you are making. However, it is important to ensure that the rhinestones cover the back of the earring completely. If you follow the right tips you should have rhinestone earrings that shine just like diamonds for a cheaper price.
