Easy DIY Clip-on Carrot Earrings Craft

How to Make Carrot Clip-on Earrings

It’s easy to make this clip-on carrot earrings craft and so much fun to wear jewelry that you have made yourself.

Carrots are great for Easter, since the Easter Bunny could use some healthy food after delivering all that candy.

The earrings are also fun for a gardener to wear, but, really, carrots are delicious, cute and a pretty shade of orange for anyone to make and wear.

These DIY earrings are simple for a beginner to make and could be fun for a group activity at an Easter party or other occasion.

Clip-ons are great, since kids and others who don’t have pierced ears can wear them.

Carrot Charms

There are a large variety of carrot charms available, so you are sure to find cute ones to suit your style.

My carrots 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 on yourself and choose charms that already have loops attached, which makes it simple to put these earrings together.

Get a pack of all carrot charms or choose a multipack that includes carrots and other charms.

There are Easter charm sets that have carrots, bunnies and other Easter shapes.

And there are charm sets with carrots and other vegetables or fruit.

Currently, both Amazon and Ali Express have carrot charms in stock.

If you can wait a little while, save money by ordering yours from Ali Express.

Or order from Amazon for generally speedy delivery.

Ear Clips

There are different types of earring clips to choose from for jewelry making.

Personally, I like the ones that have a screw to adjust them.

Set the screw to the right position to comfortably and securely fit your ear lobe.

Then you can flip them open and closed with the hinge without having to readjust the screw each time you wear them.

I find them very comfortable to wear and they stay put on my ears.

If you prefer another style of clip on earrings, that’s fine, too.

Whichever type you use, you’ll want to choose findings that have a loop on them to easily attach the charm.

Jump Rings

The small open circles that are placed between the ear clips and the charm 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.

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.

Where to Buy Jewelry Supplies Online

AliExpress has a huge selection of jewelry making supplies at super low prices – incredibly low prices. Plan ahead when you order, since shipping can take longer than US based companies.

Instructions

1) Gather up your jewelry making supplies for the carrot clip-on earrings craft.

2) Use the pliers to open up a jump ring and slip it through both the carrot charm and the loop on the clip-on. My charm is the same on both sides, so can go either direction. If your charm has one good side, position it to be visible from the front.

3) Squeeze the jump ring closed with the pliers.

4) Repeat for the second earring.

5) Have fun wearing your stylish homemade carrot clip-on earrings!
