How to Make Sea Glass Earrings

This easy sea glass jewelry tutorial will show you how to make beautiful cultured sea glass earrings that look great and cost very little to make.

I used to have a pair of green glass earrings that I loved and somehow I lost one. So while I was browsing through Etsy I found the most beautiful cultured sea glass with drilled holes. They come in several colors including a set of three that I bought in shades of green.

How to Make Sea Glass Earrings

Step 1: Gather two jump rings, two hoops, and two pendants

Step 2: Use your tweezers to hold the jump ring in one hand and then open it up with the needle nose pliers with your other hand.

Step 3: Slide the bottom loop of the hoop onto the jump ring while still holding the jump ring with the tweezers.

Step 4: Thread the jump ring through the hole in the sea glass.

Step 5: Use the needle nose pliers to squeeze the jump ring closed.

Step 6: You then may want to twist the hoop a little to make sure that the front of the sea glass stone is facing the correct way. You can do this by hand or with the pliers, but be gentle.

That's it! The kit even comes with the little clear rubber backs to keep it from falling out of your ear. Also with this kit, you can decide whether to use gold hoops or silver.

I wear silver jewelry most of the time so I created two with silver and one with gold. I think they look good either way.

Here's how one looks on me so you can get a sense of how big they are. At first, I was worried that they were too big but once I put them on I really liked the way they look.

Not bad for a 20-minute craft, huh?
