DIY Clip-on Pineapple Earrings Craft

How to Make Clip-on Pineapple Earrings

Make this cute pineapple clip-on earrings craft to show off your love of this delicious tropical fruit or your love of tropical vacations.

The jewelry is made with lightweight polymer fruit charms, clip-on jewelry findings and jump rings.

This is an easy jewelry craft, so it’s great for beginners or anyone who wants a quick and cute DIY activity.

Clip-on earrings are great for kids and adults, so you can make a pair for yourself or to give as a gift.

Pineapple Charms

There are a large variety of pineapple charms available, so you’ll find polymer charms like mine and other styles.

My tropical pineapples 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 pineapple charms or choose a multipack that includes pineapples and other fruit charms.

Currently, both Amazon and Ali Express have polymer clay pineapple 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.

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.

Adjustable Clips

There are different types of earring clips 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.
