DIY Pony Bead Earrings

 

These earrings are super fun to make. Pony beads come in lots of colors, are lightweight, and easy to get, so they are a very good material to use. These earrings are very easy and quick once you get the hang of it, and they are pretty quick to learn. A lot of people like to make keychains like this, but I thought it would be fun to make earrings.

Supplies:

• pony beads
• elastic
• scissors
• jump rings
• earring hooks
• pliers

Start by cutting a peice of elastic. Fold in half and stick it through a jump ring.

Take the two ends and pull them through the loop. The elastic should be secured to the jump ring with two ends sticking off like in the photo below.

Get two beads that are the first color you want on the earring. Put them on one of the strings.

Put the other elastic string through the beads in the opposite direction.

Pull both strings so the beads are at the top by the jump ring.

Repeat with another color.

Keep adding more colors on until your earrings have all the colors or are the length you want.

Tie the two strings at the bottom together to secure the beads.

Now repeat all the steps to make a second earring.

Attatch an earring on the jumpring. They are now ready to wear!
