How Do You Make Nylon Post Earrings?
Nylon post earrings are a good alternative for those who can’t wear brass or other metallic posts because of allergies, but it’s not always easy to find nylon post earrings in stores. One option is to purchase undecorated nylon posts and make your own earrings. This allows you to customize your earrings to suit your style and taste. Search online and offline craft stores for a supply of undecorated nylon posts. Buy a bulk supply, so you can make many pairs of earrings. Set up your craft supplies on a table so you can easily access everything as you’re working. Plug in your glue gun, so it’s warmed up and ready to go when you need it. Start your beaded, button or rhinestone design by gluing the first stone to the flat, center platform of the nylon post. You may need to use tweezers to hold the stone in place securely as it dries. Build off of the center stone design, creating patterns with the beads and jewels. Glue them carefully into place, holding them with the tweezers as they dry.
