There’s something undeniably charming about pom-pom earrings—they’re playful, stylish, and surprisingly versatile! I’ve been eyeing a pair of designer pom-pom earrings for months, but instead of splurging, I decided to create my own. Not only is this DIY project budget-friendly, but it also lets you customize the colors and style to match your wardrobe perfectly.
These earrings are lightweight, comfortable to wear, and add a fun, elegant touch to any outfit. Plus, they come together in just a few easy steps. Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need:
✔ Gold chain (or silver, depending on your preference)
✔ 6 small pom-poms (choose your favorite color!)
✔ 6 headpins
✔ 2 flat earring posts
✔ Strong craft glue (E6000 recommended)
✔ Needle-nose pliers
✔ Wire cutters
How to Make Your Own Pom-Pom Earrings
Step 1: Prepare the Pom-Poms
Take a headpin and gently push it through the center of a pom-pom. Trim the excess pin, leaving about ½ inch sticking out. Use your needle-nose pliers to curl the end into a small loop. Repeat this step with another pom-pom—these will be your top and bottom pieces.
Step 2: Create Connecting Links
For the middle pom-pom, repeat the same process, but this time, create a loop on both ends of the headpin. This will allow the pom-poms to link together smoothly.
Step 3: Attach the Chains
Using your wire cutters, snip two pieces of ½-inch gold chain. Attach the chains between the pom-pom loops, forming a dainty, dangling three-pom design.
Step 4: Secure the Earring Posts
To complete your earrings, apply a small dot of E6000 glue to the back of the top pom-pom and attach the earring post. Let them dry completely before wearing—patience is key!
