DIY Stud Earrings

I have come to an understanding with myself that every Thursday will be Do-It-Yourself projects. There! I am committing, so everyone please don't be afraid to call me out of my BS. Todays DIY will feature STUDS! Which can be used on everything, and I mean everything.

Here are the supplies and tools you will need:

1. Metal Studs - You can take the studs off an old belt or order some online.

2. Some cheap earrings - The type of earring I'm using is called a "stud" earring. Isn't the English language confusing?

3. Pliers

4. Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

STEP 1: You will need to have cheap earrings that are you never wear for this project. The ones shown in the picture are the best for this project. As stated in the supplies list, these earrings are called "stud" earrings. NOTE: The size of earrings you use depends on the size of metal studs you chose.

STEP 2: These metal studs were taken for an old belt that was coming apart. You can also buy these online, just be sure to pay attention to the size of the studs. You don't want earrings that are bigger than your face!

STEP 3: Now fold the prongs on the studs down inside the stud, or you can choose to cut them off with wire cutters. NOTE: I do not recommend cutting the prongs off because the raw edge that is left can cut you. Ultimately your decision.

STEP 4: If you don't want to destroy your fingers, use some pliers to fold down the prong and ensure that it is as flat as possible.

STEP 5: Next, all you have to do is hot glue the earring into the metal stud. Repeat the steps for the other earring. NOTE: Be sure that the earring sits as level as possible in the stud. If you notice it's lopsided, just go back a step and flatten out the prong some more.

STEP 6: Now you have some awesome studs earrings. The best part of this DIY, it was free!

Now my friends, you are done! So show off your new earrings and make everyone jealous. Look at the photo below... doesn't it make you a little jealous?
