In this guide I am going to show you how I make several different pairs of my Soda Tab earrings.

Step 2 of 14
Get a thin piece of cardboard and fold it a few times. Tape the ends to hold the card board together. Grab a hammer and a thumb tack. Pick out two soda tabs to work with.

Take your tab and turn it upside down. Put the thumb tack in-between the groves at the top of the tab. Hammer the thumb 4-6 times to make a hole. Twist the thumb tack until it pushes through.

Now it time to decorate it however you want. You can leave it the way it is (without a hole at the bottom), or add some pizazz. I will show you a few variations I have done :)

Step 8 of 14
You can add beads and an Origami Lucky Star.
