DIY Earrings for Guitarists

(Or for not-guitarists, it's flexible :)

So you're going to need:

• 2 guitar picks--matching or not, it's up to you
• 2 earring hooks (you can get them at Joann's or even Walmart)
• 4 small key rings or jump rings (any craft/beading store will have these)
• 2 small magnetic necklace clasps (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?pageName=search&flag=true&PRODID=xprd78951)
• a single hole punch
• pliers (if you're using the jump rings)

1. Punch a hole in whatever corner of the pick you want. If you would like to be able to use the pick to play, don't punch it in the corner you play with. 

2. Attach one of the small rings to the pick and to one end of the magnetic clasp. 

3. Attach another small ring to the earring hook and the other end of the magnetic clasp.

             

          TIP: before you go through the pain of attaching the rings to the magnets, check that the magnets belong to each other!

Repeat the same process for the other one and there you have it! Guitar pick Earrings.

Now when you find yourself without a pick, just detach the magnets and you can use it to play! I prefer using the magnets to hold the pick onto the earring because taking the earring out every time is annoying and takes a long time. Plus then you have an actual earring getting in the way when you play. Another thing you can do (if you don't have your ears pierced, or if your a guy, or for whatever reason) is do the same thing except put it on a cord or chain and wear it around your neck or wrist.
