Don’t you remember the earring door knocker style from the 80′s? Laura certainly does as she created these very cool earrings on 80′s music Saturday here at The Bouncing Bead. Very easy and quick to make with basic wire skills.

Here’s what you need to make these totally awesome earrings.

Door knocker earring pieces – $2.75 each

Head pins – .10 each

4mm jump rings – .06 each

Earring posts – .75 for the pair

Blue Chalcedony – $2.95 each

Directions:

Using a head pin make a wire wrapped loop on each stone. Using 3 jump rings per earring attach the stone to the earring component and then to the ball stud. Easy as that!

Have a totally awesome day! Ahhh the 80′s.
