- Hi guys, my name is Madison Reyes.
I play Julie in "Julie and the Phantoms."
And today I'm gonna show you
how I make my lovely earrings.
(upbeat music)
So these are my turtle earrings.
These are probably like my favorite pair.
I got into earrings because I wanted something
that I could make my own.
And earrings was that for me.
Earrings like this are easy.
Earrings that you make outta clay can get a little harder.
But pretty much earrings, making them,
is pretty simple and straightforward.
So the first thing you're gonna need
that's gonna make your earring making 10 times easier
are these little pliers.
These little tools, I got them at Michael's, comes in a set.
You get these, you get the little clippers.
This way you can cut the chain sometimes if you need to.
You get a little tweezers and scissors and stuff like that.
That's the first thing you're gonna need.
The next thing you're gonna need is,
I got this a little bin.
I also got this all from Michael's guys,
I'm telling you, Michael's has everything.
You're gonna need,
I'll show you these little hooks, these chain links.
You're gonna need these.
You're gonna need these little earrings, earring holders.
Anyways.
So obviously you're gonna need
something to make the earrings out of,
and today I'm gonna make some macaroon earrings.
I got these also at Michael's, in the clearance aisle.
This is not sponsored by Michael's,
but shout out to them.
They're cool.
47 cents guys.
Ballin' on a budget.
You're gonna be having cute earrings for 47 cents.
It doesn't get better than that.
So I already took the key chain hook off of this one.
So I'm gonna put that to the side.
So this is where the pliers come into handy,
'cause these things are hard to get off with your fingers.
I remember when I first started making them,
I didn't have these tools and they hurt my fingers so bad.
So you're just gonna want to take those off.
I should really become a YouTuber.
No.
Okay, now you're gonna wanna
pick up the little chain links.
Guys, these little things are so annoying.
Sometimes I just like take my finger, and I press them.
So this way they can like just stick on my finger.
Fun fact, I like collecting Snapple caps.
I'm addicted to Snapple.
Mango lemonade is the best drink out there.
You guys should all check it out.
That is why I have this Snapple cap holding
the little chain link.
So this is also not sponsored by Snapple, guys.
Just opening it,
putting it through the little hole,
and just chaining them
until you get a link that you like.
I normally do two,
because what's gonna happen is
you're gonna put this on, and it's gonna dangle.
So you're gonna want to not put too many
'cause then it's either gonna be too long
and it's not gonna look right.
Or, you know, just right.
So there you go, guys,
one's down, one more to go.
Honestly, this is so quick and simple and easy.
You can turn anything into an earring.
I buy key chains, and I turn those into earrings.
I make earrings.
Making earrings is just so much fun, stress relieving.
You guys should all try it honestly.
And you also get to like spice up the fit.
I mean, you get to like show off your cool outfit,
and you also have cool earrings to show as well
and be like, "Hey, I made these."
Isn't that cool?
Now we're gonna pop in these fire,
freshly-made macaroon earrings, and look!
Aren't they just cute?
Boom.
If you try this at home,
something that I've learned is
when you're putting this little earring thing in,
in the sense of like my ghost earrings,
see how like it's pointing to me?
So this way when I put it in,
I wouldn't put it in like this
because then when I turn around
the little guy's gonna be backwards.
You can't see him.
You gonna wanna show off the ghost face,
you got to show off
this an amazing piece of artwork right here.
Yeah, I think the biggest tip
is just be creative with it, honestly.
Don't the outfit look cooler now?
Pop of color.
And guess what? I made these.
You should try it too.
Thanks so much for watching.
I hope you had fun making earrings with me today.
I hope that you go out there and make your own earrings.
So yeah, until next time.
Bye!
