Easy DIY Gummy Bear Earrings Craft

How to Make Gummy Bear Drop Earrings

It is quick and easy to make DIY gummy bear earrings, when you use basic supplies and follow these simple instructions.

My drop earrings are made with yellow bear charms, but you are welcome to use any fun color you would like.

The hard charms are made from resin, so they look like gummies but aren’t squishy like actual gummy bears.

Make a single pair of matched earrings or make many of them and then mix and match the colors to match an outfit or to show off which gummy color is your favorite.

This is a DIY jewelry craft that is fun to make and fun to wear.

Bear Charms

These little gummy bear charms are adorable!

They look like multicolored gummy bears, but they are to look at and not to eat.

I used yellow bears for my earrings, but you can use another color if you’d like.

The resin bear charms are 3 dimensional, so they look cute from every direction.

They already have loops attached, so they are easy to add to your jewelry crafts.

Earwires

You have a lot of 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, so choose the type that you find attractive and comfortable.

Earwires are easy to use for DIY jewelry, like these gummy bear 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 open circle metal findings used to connect jewelry components are called jump rings.

They are positioned between the charm and the hoop to keep it hanging freely and dangling at a nice angle.

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 easily opens up with pliers and then can be closed 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 helpful tool to have for jewelry making.

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 or even a curved (hooked) tip.

You can use regular household needle nose pliers, if you already have them in a toolbox or in that junk drawer in your kitchen.

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.
Amazon also has a good selection of supplies and shipping can be very fast.

Both of these online stores have the supplies and tool you will need to make the DIY gummy bear earrings craft.

Instructions

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

2) Use the jewelry pliers to open up a jump ring and slip it through both the bear charm loop and the loop on the ear hook. Pay attention to the direction of the bear, so that the front of the bear faces forward when you are wearing the earrings.

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 and cute gummy bear earrings!
