Phone Jack Earrings

Phone Jack Earrings

These phone jack earrings call upon the mystical powers of communication to tune your ears into DIY techno fashion. Use these easy step-by-step directions to make your own in minutes.

You Will Need:

  • Phone Jack heads – Get these at any electronics store. You can find them in a nice transparent blue or clear plastic. Make sure they have the release tab on the top. If they are attached to a cord, yank out the cord with pliers so all you have is the jack head.

  • Round-tipped jewelry pliers
  • Glue gun
  • Craft Wire – These are cheap and easy to find at craft stores or Wal-Mart.
  • Earring loops – These can be found at the craft store. You will get nearly a hundred for just a couple bucks. There are different kinds, but for this project we are using one-piece wire loops.

When you have gathered your supplies, we can get started.
