Do you want a totally unique look? You can make earrings from origami models. While the origami crane will be used as model in this article, you can use any simple, small origami model as the basis for these lovely earrings.
1.Gather the "Things You'll Need" (see list below).
2.Fold two origami models from the squares of paper. Here, a miniaturized version of the origami Peace Crane was chosen.
3.Thread one of the beads onto a pin.
4.Take one of the origami models, and thread it onto a pin. If you use a peace crane, it's easy because it already has a hole in the bottom. You'll only need to pierce the top layer of the paper with the pin. If you are struggling to pierce the paper with the pin, use a needle to make a hole in the paper first, and then use the pin.
5.Thread the rest of the beads onto the pin.
6.Cut off the excess wire from the pin with the pliers. About 1 cm/.4" should be left beyond the beads.
7.Bend the tip of the pin into the form of a fishhook, using the pliers.
8.Attach the earring by hooking the pin's hook through the earring's hole.
9.Bend the hook fully closed.
10.Repeat these steps with the other origami model.
11.Show off your new origami earrings!
