Easy DIY Mushroom Earrings Craft

How to Make Easy Mushroom Earrings

The homemade magical mushroom earrings craft is quick and easy to make and the cute jewelry is fun to wear.

This is a budget friendly DIY earring making activity that doesn’t take long and uses simple supplies.

Make a single pair for yourself or go wild and make a whole bunch of them.

The earrings are fun to make in different colors to match different outfits and they can be a good money maker for those of you who like to sell your handmade earrings.

This could also be a fun craft for a fairy or fantasy themed birthday party or an Alice in Wonderland or Hobbit movie night.

Whether you are a first time jewelry maker or someone who has made lots of jewelry crafts, these mushroom earrings are great!

Resin Mushroom Charms

These little mushroom charms are adorable!

As with other jewelry charms, you will have options to choose the mushrooms that suit your style for your handmade earrings.

The three dimensional resin mushroom charms were my choice for the mushroom earrings craft, since they look super cute from all directions.

They come in a variety of colors in addition to the traditional red capped mushroom that I used.

You’ll be able to purchase a package of all red resin mushroom charms or one that includes mixed colors.

If you’d like to use other mushroom charms for this easy earrings craft, they are available in other materials including metal and polymer clay.

Are Mushrooms Trendy?

Yes!

Mushrooms are very popular for jewelry, clothing and home decor.

They are good for gardeners and foodies who enjoy growing or eating mushrooms.

Fans of fantasy and fairy tale books, movies and TV shows like mushrooms, too.

A fairy can live in a mushroom house, Hobbits like mushrooms and Alice in Wonderland enjoys magic mushrooms.

Most importantly, mushrooms are really cute!

Earwires

There are many options, when it comes to choosing earwires 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, among other things, ear hooks, fish hooks, French hooks or shepherd hooks and are readily available.

Two main considerations are their appearance and comfort.

I find this style of earwires to be comfortable to wear.

Also, they are easy to use for DIY jewelry, like these magical mushroom 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

The small circle findings used to connect jewelry components are called 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.

Jewelry 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 together.

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.

Instructions

1) Gather up your jewelry making supplies for the DIY mushroom earrings.

2) Use the pliers to open up a jump ring and slip it through both the mushroom charm loop and the loop on the ear hook. My charm is the same from all directions, so it can be hung either way. If your charm has one good side, position it to be visible from the front.

3) Use the pliers to squeeze the jump ring closed, so your charm and earwire are securely attached and won’t come apart.

4) Repeat for the second earring.

5) Have fun wearing your trendy mushroom earrings!
