Instructions

  1. The video How to Make the Kaputt Earrings demonstrates how to make these earrings from start to finish.
  2. A couple notes: Silver-filled wire and earring findings were chosen because of the fine quality of the Kaputt pendants used, however, you could also use plated and follow the same technique.
  3. Also, to make this into a jewelry set, simply create one extra wire wrapped Kaputt pendant and hang it from a premade chain.
