Lego Earrings

Recycle the box of Legos from your childhood with these fun Lego Earrings.  This project is inspired by Jessyratfink's DIY Lego Jewelry Instructable.  In her version of the earrings she used epoxy to glue the legos to earring posts.  In this instructable I use jump rings to attach the Legos to earring hooks.

We brought this project to BurdaStyle's book launch party at TechShop SF and it was a blast!!

Step 1 Supplies

2x2 Legos - I bought this 402 piece pink lego set to get some fun girly colors.  The 2x2 size legos are the best for making these earrings.
Earring Hooks
Jump Rings
Pliers
Drill and 1/6" drill bit - I used a drill press but you can use a hand drill.

So adorable!! The best part about these earrings is that you can add more legos to them and change them all the time. I'm so happy she likes them :D

Lovely project, and the jump rings are a nice way to attach the hooks (and thanks to Jessy for giving me links to know why they're called "jump rings"!).

My only complaint is the use of the evil, gender-channelling legos :-)
