Uber High-end Fashion Earrings from Recycled Water Bottle

Step 2 Cutting the segments, creating ancor points and sanding

Start by taking your bottle and cutting the top and bottom off it.
Take the cylinder and slice it up one side.

Lay the sheet of plastic out flat and trace around the bottle cap. We will need 6 circles for these earrings.
Cut the 6 circles out.


We now need to create the anchor points to join the segments.

There needs to be a hole at the top and bottom of 4 segments.

Then two of those we need to make another hole to anchor the offset segment.
Make this hole just to the side and up a tad from the bottom hole .

We then need another hole just at the top of the offset segment.

Take some of your wire and heat till glowing red hot. Use this to make the holes.


Once you have finished creating the holes it is time to sand. Take your sand paper and abraid the surface of the plastic to an opaque finish.

I already have jump rings so I'm going to use a heated needle instead.
