I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Do you have a lone earring that you are just unable to part with? Maybe it has some beautiful memory attached to it or was a gift from someone special. Well, rather than letting that lonesome lovely languish in your jewelry box, why not make a necklace out of it? It’s really simple!

Needle nose pliers and a jump ring. You can get the jump ring at beading or craft stores. I used 6mm ones for this project.

Supplies

You will need:

  • Needle nose pliers.
  • A jump ring. (You can get the jump ring at beading or craft stores.) I used a 6mm one for this project.
Using your pliers, remove the earring hook. There should be a little slice where the metal meets.

Open up your jump ring. Try to move it to sideways rather than out. It makes it easier to close.
