How to Make Lemon Earrings
This lemon drop earrings craft is perfect for beginner jewelry making or for anyone who wants a quick and easy DIY project.
Also, bright yellow citrus fruit earrings are really fun to wear and make great gifts.
Simple supplies are all you need to make these earrings and the only tool you need is a pair of pliers.
Lemon Charms
There are a variety of styles of lemon charms available, so you’ll find lemon slices like mine or whole lemons.
My lemon charms are made from lightweight polymer clay, but you can also choose charms made from other materials like resin, metal or plastic.
Just make it easy and choose charms that already have loops attached instead of beads, which makes it simple to put these earrings together.
Currently, both Amazon and Ali Express have polymer clay lemon charms in stock.
If you can wait a little while, save money by ordering yours from Ali Express.
Or order from Amazon for speedy delivery.
Ear Hooks for Jewelry Making
The first time I bought ear hooks for making my own jewelry, I was surprised at how inexpensive it is to get a multipack.
A whole lot of ear hooks can cost less than a single pair of fashion earrings at a discount store.
The earwires can be called ear hooks, fish hooks, French hooks or shepherd hooks and are readily available.
I find them comfortable to wear and they are easy to use for DIY jewelry, like these cute lemon drop earrings.
Mine are ‘silver tone’ metal, since my ears are not particular about metal types.
If you need sterling silver or 14k gold, they are still very reasonably priced.
Jump Rings
If this is your first time making jewelry at home, you can pick up an inexpensive package of jump rings to use now and on future DIY projects.
The small rings have an opening that you can open up with pliers and then close it up again when your jewelry components are in place.
They come in different sizes and in different types of metal.
I find it handy to keep assorted sizes of gold and silver jump rings available for jewelry making projects at home.
You can use jump rings to match the other jewelry findings you are using or you can mix and match, if you’d like.
Needle Nose Pliers
Pliers are a big help, when you are making your own jewelry.
Needle nose pliers are handy to open up jump rings and attach your jewelry components.
I find it easiest to use pliers with a short pointed tip, but you may like a longer tip.
You can use regular household needle nose pliers, if you already have them on hand.
Or you can get needle nose jewelry pliers with comfortable grips to keep with your other DIY jewelry tools and supplies.

3) Squeeze the jump ring closed with the pliers.
4) Repeat for the second earring.
