00:00Hello everyone! Welcome to Earrings Exquisite Tutorials. Today I'm going to
00:06show you how to make button earrings. So the materials you will need is a
00:12needle nose plier, you will need your wire cutter, and you will need two bent
00:23nose pliers. So also you will need your beads, you will need your head pins, you
00:36will need your jump rings, and you will need your earring hooks, and you will need
00:49your buttons. And when we are finished, they will look like this. See these
01:00beautiful button earrings. Okay, so let's get started. So the first thing you're
01:09going to take is your jump ring, and you're gonna take your one of your
01:18needle nose pliers, and you're going to hold it like that. And then you're going
01:26to take your button, and you might have to stretch it out a little more because it's
01:33not wide enough to put through the button. So you take your other needle nose
01:38plier, and you put it on the other side of the jump ring, and you pull it open more like
01:45that. So like that. So then you just take your button, and you put it through the hole.
01:56Okay, it looks like I gotta open it a little more. Let's open this a little more. Now I got
02:06it
02:06really open. Now it's open a lot. And put it right on in. Just like that. And then you take
02:15your
02:15other needle nose plier, and you hold this side, and you pull them together. Just like that. And make sure
02:25that it's closed. Like that. Now you pick up the other jump ring, and you take your needle nose
02:36plier, and you pull it open more, a lot. Like that. Now I'm gonna put this down. Now I'm gonna
02:47put it
02:48through the other hole. So you put it on like that. And then you take your other
02:55big nose plier, and you pull it together straight. Okay, it's okay. Came off. It's okay. A little bit.
03:08You pull it straight. Pull it closed. Like that. Just like this. Okay, that's closed. That's one. We're gonna do
03:24the same thing to this button.
03:28So, then pick up your jump ring, and put it on your bent nose plier. And take the other bent
03:38nose plier, and open up the jump ring a little more.
03:43Now, this has got to be wide enough, so that the button can fit through. And you pull it through.
03:54Put the button on. Just like that.
03:58And now you take the other needle nose plier, and bring it up, and close it. You see? That's nice
04:07and closed. Okay. Now we do the same thing.
04:12Pick up this jump ring, and you can put it between your bent nose pliers. And now take my other
04:20bent nose plier, and I'm gonna open it up a lot.
04:25And then you put it through the other side of the button. And put it right on like that. See?
04:34It's nice and on. Just like that. Take your other bent nose plier, and you're gonna just close it up.
04:44Okay? It's okay. It dropped. It's not coming out.
04:48There you go. Just gotta grab it again. Sometimes these things happen. There you go. And you push it close.
05:01Just like that. It's nice and close. Now I have my buttons on.
05:06Now I'm gonna take another jump ring here. And I'm gonna add it to inside of this jump ring. I'm
05:23gonna just put it on like that. And I'm gonna close it up.
05:28And this is why I said you needed two needle nose pliers. Now I'm gonna do it to the other
05:38one. Same thing.
05:41I'm gonna put it on this jump ring between this bent nose pliers. I'm gonna hold it.
05:48And I'm gonna take this jump ring on this button. And I'm gonna place it on. Just like that. I'm
05:57gonna take my other bent nose plier. And I'm gonna close it up now. Just like that. There you go.
06:06See? It's nice and closed.
06:09Okay. Now I'm gonna take another jump ring. You're gonna keep doing the same thing. I'm gonna hold it close
06:24with this bent nose plier. I'm gonna take the other side that has the two jump rings on. See? This
06:31side has one jump ring. This side has two. We need to put two on each side.
06:36All right. So I'm gonna put it on just like that. And then I'm gonna close it up. Just like
06:46that. And make sure that it's closed. There you go. So now I have two jump rings on each side.
06:55I'm gonna take my last jump ring. I'm gonna put it on between the bent nose plier.
07:05And I'm gonna put it on here. And I'm gonna put it on here. And I'm gonna take the one
07:08that has one jump ring. And I'm gonna add it on. And now see? There should be two jump rings
07:17on each side. There's two jump rings here. And there's two jump rings here.
07:21Okay. And now I'm gonna take my other bent nose pliers. And I'm gonna close it up. Just like that.
07:31And make sure it's closed. Just like that.
07:36Now I'm gonna put these down. Now I'm gonna take my head pin. Here's my head pin. And I'm gonna
07:48put this bead on. Just like that. There's a gold bead.
07:57Now you wanna... This is a little long. So I'm gonna cut it a little bit. I'm gonna take my
08:04wire cutter. And I'm gonna cut a little bit of it off. Because it is too long.
08:10And a lot of my materials I get from the city. Because I live in New York. You can buy
08:17these head pins and jump rings and things like this on Etsy.
08:21You can buy them on Amazon. You can buy them on eBay. I buy them all over the place. Okay.
08:28My beads sometimes I get from the 99 cent store.
08:32So now you wanna take your needle nose plier. And you wanna put it on just like this. And you're
08:43gonna bend it down. So that it's hooked over. Like that.
08:47So that it's going to look like that. Then you're gonna take your needle nose plier. And put it back.
08:56And you're gonna start curling it a little.
09:00Just like curling it over. So it looks like that. Right? Then you wanna pick up this button ring. Earring.
09:12And you're gonna put it on. Now you gotta be careful on which side you wanna put it on. You
09:17have to pay attention to the button.
09:20So I'm gonna turn it the way I want the button to go. And then I'll place the jump ring
09:26on it. Just like that.
09:29And now I'm gonna close it up.
09:41There you go.
09:44And I'm just gonna close it up.
09:46Alright. I'm gonna pull this off and I'm gonna fix it a little more.
09:50Make it a little more
09:53closer.
10:02There we go.
10:05Now, again, put the jump ring on.
10:09And now I'm gonna hold it this way down.
10:13And I'm gonna take my bed nose plier.
10:18And I'm gonna close it.
10:21Up.
10:22And I'm gonna hold it down.
10:24Like that.
10:29Now I'm gonna close it.
10:31And I'm gonna close it.
10:36And I'm gonna hold it tight.
10:38There we go.
10:39And now I'm closing it.
10:42There we go.

10:52There we go.
10:55Yeah, I know.
10:56Mistakes happen.
11:04There we go.
11:06Now it's closed.
11:07Now when you do it, you wanna make sure that it's closed.
11:12So now it looks like this.
11:16Now, you're going to take your earring hook.
11:24You're gonna take your needle nose plier and you're gonna hold it, the earring, this way, this way.
11:32And you're gonna put it through, the needle nose plier through, and you're gonna pull this open.
11:39Like that.
11:40So it's going to look like that.
11:42And then you're gonna take this side.
11:46Now remember, you wanna look at how you're gonna place it.
11:51So I want the earring to be this way.
11:54So I'm gonna place it on this way.
11:57You have to be careful which way you place it on, the way you want the earring to face.
12:02So you put it on, and now you're gonna close it up.
12:10I close it.
12:12Now I take my needle nose, I meant my bent nose pliers, and I come over here again, and I
12:22close it.

12:51You're gonna put the bead on.
12:53Just like that.
12:58Now, it's a little long.
13:00So you're gonna take your wire cutter, and you're gonna cut it a little bit.
13:05I've cut it a little bit off, because it's a little long.
13:09Okay.
13:10Now you're gonna take your needle nose plier, and remember, you're gonna hold it this way, and you're gonna bend
13:21it.
13:23Just like that.
13:26Now you're gonna take the needle nose plier, and you're gonna bend it over.
13:34So it looks like that.
13:37Okay.
13:39So it looks like that.
13:52Okay.
14:02Let's fix it a little bit.
14:02Okay.
14:02And you wanna put it on, so that it's facing the way you want it to face.
14:09I want it to face this way.
14:11That's one thing.
14:12when you start making earrings you got to be careful about when you're putting
14:18the beads on how you want it to face you have to make sure that when you're
14:22finished that they both are facing the same way so now I'm gonna close this
14:29side and I'm gonna put it back on again let's put it on
14:40all right here we go again putting it on now I'm gonna close it up with my jump
14:51ring I mean I'm gonna close it up with my bent nose plier so you're gonna hold it
