Supplies needed for the recycled earrings:

Brooch Finding

Acrylic Rhinestone Cabochon

Acrylic Rhinestone Link

Earring Hooks

Jumprings

Hot Melt Glue Gun

Wire Cutter Pliers

How to make the rhinestone cluster earrings?

Step 1: Remove the brooch pin

Take the brooch findings and remove the pin part with pliers carefully.

Step 2: Glue on the acrylic rhinestone cabochons

1st, decide the pattern of your earrings;

2nd, glue the cabochons at proper locations with glue gun. In my cluster earrings, I use five small-sized green pieces at the top corner and one pink heart piece surrounded by 9 oval black ones fills the rest area;

3rd, wait until dry completely.

Step 3: Attach the earring hooks

1st, at the two loops on top corner, string two jumprings;

2nd, hook the two jumprings with an earring hook;

3rd, close the jumprings off.

Repeat the 3 steps above to make the other rhinestone earring!

Once dried and cooled, there you’ve made your upcycle rhinestone earrings. No tricky techniques or expensive materials are required! Quick, easy and effective diy earrings refashion!
