Step 1
These earrings will cost you very little—if anything at all. You most likely already have the materials you need at home.

Step 3
What you’ll need: • a plastic bottle—a half-liter bottle will be enough; • beads and jewelry findings (you can reuse them from old earrings); • scissors and round-nose pliers; • spray paint or nail polish. How to make them First, draw a paper template and test the size alongside the other components.

Step 5
If you’re happy with the template, great. Cut even pieces of plastic from the bottle, large enough for the design.

Step 7
Trace two pieces onto the plastic. Remember: they need to be mirror images! Even though the bottle looks the same on both sides, it will still have a slight curve. So cut the pieces as mirror images.

Step 9
Paint the feather shapes with spray paint or nail polish. Punch a hole at the top.

If you have a ready-made dangle from an old pair of earrings, assembly becomes much easier!
