Ear Cuffs

What's a hot new jewelry trend that is fun and fresh? Ear cuffs! That's right, the stacking earring look is back. The more the better. Ear cuffs are GREAT because you don't actually need to have pierced ears to rock the trend. In fact, you can choose when you want cluttered ears and when you want simple pearls for work.

The cutest way to rock the look is by buying your favorite symbols! You can wear a nautical creature, like a starfish, for those warm sunny days. This looks is darling for springtime as well. You can wear a heart is you're swept up by love or a crown if you're feeling like a princess.

Many of the ear cuffs have dangling charms hanging from them. A sweet bow or boho dream catcher make the look even more funky. You can make your own or find these items at Claire's or online through the crafters at Etsy!

By far the most popular way to wear the ear cuff is a simple wire cuff. These items are not only easy to wear, they're super easy to make! All you need is some pliers, a small piece of bendable wire in the color you desire then BAM! you have your ear cuff jewelry. Thanks to Craftster  we have a great DIY version of the ear cuff.

First, you'll need to assemble your tools: pliers, wire cutters and 12 or 18 gauge wire. Then, cut your wire about 2.5 inches. Next, bend the wire to make a zig zag shape like the one above and twist a loop in the bottom.

Next, copy the loop on the opposite end and twist both ends inward with your pliers. Your finished product will look like the cuff above and sit perfectly on your ear! You can adjust as needed for tightness.

For a more intense craft, try the tutorial above. Enjoy your new trendy piece of jewelry!
