10 tips for upgrading your basic earring bases

10 tips for upgrading your basic earring bases

10 tips for upgrading your basic earring bases

Here we made a collection of earring bases, which are all very nice just as they are, but the best thing about them is that they are all made with the thought of hanging more elements on them so that you would be able to make them look even more interesting and beautiful.

 

Here are 10 tips that will give you some new ideas for styling up any simple earring base you have:

 

1. A tassel or two
Tassels are one of the best ways you can make even the simplest earring base look much prettier without putting a lot of work.

 

2. A few more decorated elements
Just by choosing the elements you like, connecting them to the base, and you are actually making a fresh new look of your own! Hanging a simple piece of chain at the end can make it even nicer.

 

3. Adding a small piece of cup chain
If you are looking to add more color and stones to the earring you can always use a cup chain for bracelet, cut a small piece, connect the end loops and hang it on the earring base - as simple as that!

 

 

4. Hanging long metal chains
Emphasizing the metal color you chose for this earring by adding some long pieces of metal chains that will be moving so nicely when worn.

 

5. Metal spikes for an urban look
If you want to give that earring a specific attitude or style you can add elements that are quite simple such as these metal spikes, but they do the trick! Even if they have a different metal plating, it just adds more style to the final look.

 

 

6. Sparkly rhinestone drops
With the help of these cut small Finisher end cup for Swarovski rhinestone you can easily cut small pieces of any sparkly rhinestone color you like and add some glam to your earring.

 

7. A mix of small metal charms
A very cute way to make your earring a bit more special is to use some small metal charms, they don’t even need to be the same ones, and hang them on the earring in different heights.

 

8. A bunch of crystal beads
Another way to add sparkle and dangling beads to your earring is hang them on the base, which will nicely make a bunch of sparkly moving element.

 


9. Hanging lines of colorful beads
Any earring base would look so much more colorful if you add beads to it. If you want to use a bunch of them, use small light weight beads so that the earring will not be too heavy.
You can make use eye pins to hang one by one, or a string to hang a row of them, whichever you like.

 

10. Adding fancier colorful crystals
You can also make a long dangling pair of earrings by connection more stone settings in any shape you like to the base, and embed them in a nice color combination.

 

 

Have fun creating beautiful new earrings!
