How Do You Turn Pierced Earrings Into Clip-Ons?
Some people prefer clip-on earrings to pierced ones. Sometimes it’s because their holes have closed up or have gotten infected or maybe they never got their ears pierced to begin with. So what do you do when a beautiful pair of pierced earrings catches your eye, but you know you can’t wear them? Turn them into clip-ons. Take a trip to your local craft store. If it’s a good one, it will have an aisle full of jewelry making kits and materials. Here you will find clip-on backs and converters for dangle earrings or for making regular clip-ons. Some are also available online (see Resources below). Change over a dangle earring by using clip-on converters that have a small extra hoop in front. Buy a small pair of pliers (there are ones made especially for use with jewelry) and carefully pry the hoop apart and place your charm from your pierced earring on it and close the hoop. Convert a regular pierced earring (with a post) by using a clip-on converter that has a small tube on the hinged back
