Earrings

By Saakshi Khanna; Illustrations by Anup Singh

Use wires to make some colourful, ethnic earrings. You'll be amazed at what a little imagination can do to things. But don't let these ideas restrict you. Let your imagination carry you to greater depths of creativity.

Things you need:
1. Thin wires
2. Paint
3. Colourful beads
4. Coloured wool
5. Adhesive
6. Scissors

Step 1: Pick up wires that are not very thick, so that it can go through someone's ear-hole. Twist the wire in different kinds of patterns and paint it. You could also use electrical wires with a plastic jacket. Simply strip a portion of the jacket so that there is no problem inserting it into the wearer's ear-hole.

Step 2: Try to make some earrings with coloured wool and beads. Wound wool around the wire.

Step 3: Make a knot at one end of the wire and string a bead. Turn the other end in a U-shape and the earrings are ready to be worn.
