Valentine’s Lock and Key Earrings

Making Jewelry for Valentine’s Day is a simple and inexpensive gift for someone you love, or a fast and fun way to whip up a special accessory for yourself! These lock and key earrings are great for Valentine’s Day, either to wear yourself or give as a gift.

These earrings are part of Craft Lightning Week. All week long, my crafty co-hosts and I are sharing fast and fun crafts that you can make to share the love… in 15 minutes or less! And we’ve invited our craftiest friends from around the internet to share their fast Valentine’s crafts as well. Check out the bottom of this post for their fast Valentine craft ideas.

To make the lock and key earrings, you’ll need:
Key Charms
Lock Charms
2 earring wires
2 head pins
2 red beads
2 small crystals
Jewelry Pliers (2 pair – you’ll need 1 round nosed, and 1 with wire cutters, or a separate pair of wire cutters)

Grab 1 earring wire, 1 lock charm, and 1 key charm.

Open up the jump ring, and put them together.

Grab a head pin, red bead, and crystal.

Put crystal and red bead on head pin. Bend head pin over round-nosed pliers.

String onto the loop on the bottom of the lock charm. Wrap wire around itself two times.

Clip the excess wire off the head pin, and tuck the end out of the way with pliers. One earring is complete!

Repeat steps for the second earring.
