This project is super easy and can give new life to jewelry that has been hiding at the bottom of your jewelry box.
DIY Stitch Markers Tutorial
Materials
- dangle earrings with charms at the end (either pairs or singles with a lost mate)
- 2 pairs of small needle or round nosed pliers
- jump rings
- 9 mm split rings
- 12-14 mm lobster clasps
Directions
Select your earrings. Look for ones like these, with charms.
Use a pair of pliers to bend and remove the ear wires.
That was easy!
For stitch markers that slide over your knitting needles, between stitches, simply insert a split ring onto the hole of the charm.
For removable stitch markers that can be used for knit or crochet, use pliers to attach a jump ring between your charm and a lobster claw.
Now those mismatched or unworn earrings are helpful knit/crochet tools instead of just sitting around collecting dust.
Happy Crafting!
