HOW I MAKE MY CLIP-ON EARRINGS // converting regular earrings into clipons

[@styledbymckenz]

You’ve been asking me for ages why I don’t have my ears pierced/how I make my clip one so today I finally sat down to share with you! Linking the items I used as well as my new earrings in the description bar. 🤠

[@ssei7247]

How could people noticed you don't have your ears pierced, I think it's difficult unless they saw you in person but through KZbin video?😮 impressive! They have awesome sight powers 😂

[@styledbymckenz]

S Sei I mention it in many videos!

[@bmissmail]

Have you tried the clip on earring converters for stud earrings? You don't have to snap off the backs of the hoop earrings😊

[@aprilp2148]

It’s a different way to do that I get converters though Amazon and they have it where you can put your post and dangle earrings and and than you aren’t creating extra work for you to do. When you have tons of earrings like you do and I do it can be a lot of extra work for sure. The dangles have a plastic back after going through the converters and studs don’t need a back because the converter is the back. As far as your clip on earrings hurting they can be adjusted I had to do all mine that way too. There’s a KZbin video on how to adjust them. It’s always great to see others have different idea’s on how to convert them though Thanks for sharing.

[@JM-lk8gv]

Omg my daughter has exact same situation as you and she doesn't have a lot of earrings because it's so hard to find cute clip ons! She usually has to custom order which can be expensive after awhile. So glad we came across your videos 🤗

[@faustaxoxo2631]

girl bless you. when i had my ears pearced, keloid scarring appeared from my holes so naturally i had to take my earrings out and had a surgery. i most likely can never have them re-pearced again, so your video is a LIFESAVER

[@tinatrentadue8095]

Just a little tip. When your ready to glue the earring to the clip, first add a little hot glue then the E-6000 glue. The hot glue helps it to adhere right away, while the e-6000 glue dries. Great ideas.

[@sheilas.6170]

Don't mix the two glues it compromises the E6000. Put them beside each other.

[@lisadavisson6187]

I love your dad. It's so nice he is working with you.

[@katiem134]

Omg I seriously feel like all of your past few vids are so catered to me. I didn’t know your ears weren’t pierced, and I always look at how cute yours are. mine aren’t either so this is such a cool video because I love earrings

[@styledbymckenz]

Love me some statement earrings! Glad you found this one helpful :)

[@AlvaSudden]

Dad has a great shop, and keeps it super-clean. Most people would clip off little pieces of metal & let 'em fall on the floor.

[@tinishawashington9110]

You have the coolest dad in the world

[@Ladygems]

Great video... Another option when glueing the earrings is to use the flat back clip on earring piece it's sold on amazon that might keep them from falling apart. I wear and convert clip on earrings too. I'm always looking for new ways and styles

[@lindakayblevins9341]

What is that flat back clip on piece called to where I might look for it on amazon?

Thank you! Really appreciate you showing how to do the conversion. Haven't worn earrings for 20 years (since I was a teen), now I get to accessorize again. So much fun! :D

[@hanyiwang4705]

Thank you!! I also have an allergic problem with my ears. Your video really gives me the confidence to wear beautiful earrings again :)

[@irinajones9227]

A little more expensive but a little easier to convert is you can buy earing converters from Hobby Lobby and then just stick the little metal wire piece into the barrel thing. Works with studs but they don't look as good as dangly ones. Six of these converter things cost $4 at hobby lobby so quite a bit more expensive.

[@jessicacemprola5430]

Very creative solution to a common problem!! Some helpful tips from a jewelry making hobbiest: The rings are called jump rings and they are weakened when you spread them open the way that you did. Try opening them by twisting it to the side. They sell flat back clip on blanks that would eliminate a few of your steps for a lot of those studs. There are some specialized jewelry glues that will hold up better than e6000 if regluing starts to bother you. Nothing I've said is meant to criticize you. I just hope you find something helpful. I think you did an awesome job!

[@cherierobinson8713]

You and your Dad are so nice! Thank you for this instruction video. I was tired of pierced ears getting infected

[@laurenslovelyloops]

Thank you soooooo so much for this video! I also had my ears pierced when I was young (about 8 I think) and wasn’t very responsible out of lack of knowledge and I wore a pair of pearl earring 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I don’t even remember how long I had them in for but eventually one of my brothers noticed that the earrings didn’t look right so I took them off and had giant holes in my ears. My ears had unfortunately had a reaction to the cheap metal and started to push the earrings almost completely out of my ear on one side and about 3/4 of the distance on the other. My ears healed so the the holes are closed but I now have visible divets in my ears where the hole had been. Needles to say I haven’t gotten my ears re pieced even though I am now 15. I haven’t really worn clip on earrings at all either but I recently wanted to get some after seeing really cute pair of normal earrings, but was surprised at the lack of variety. I knew there had to be a way to convert them and I found this video, it was SUPER helpful thank you!

[@kdsfunzone3298]

I loved this video! I have just recently started wearing clip on ear rings because I wasn't sure how my ears or I would react to being pierced, but I have found that there seems to be no selection at stores for me to select. I found this is very informative especially for the ones that have the posts. Thanks for sharing. I also loved that your dad was a part of this as well :)

I've purchased the clip on posts from Amazon. They are flat but u still have to sand the original earring so that the flats can lay flushed. I hope this will help u. U did a great job with this tutorial LOVE.

[@vincydoll74]

Hi McKenzie. Thank you for such an informative and helpful video. Although I own tons of clip-ons, it's nice to have this additional option. My favorite clip is the screw-back clip-on type because of how easily you can adjust them to your comfort without accidentally breaking them. I buy the majority of them now from Amazon because of the wide variety of styles with the screw-back clip. Now with your video, I can convert all my other clip-ons to screw-backs as well using a similar method to what you showed in the video. Thanks again for this video. Your channel is great!

[@thenormalteenlife3131]

Girl, I will just like to say this, but I am still a child, and I recently got my ears pierced a couple months ago, and the earrings fell through the bottom of my ears 😢 so that’s really helped me. Thank you. 😊

[@telavivtim]

Omg, honestly your ears look cuter without piercings!!! Great choice to let your holes heal!!

[@kristinphillips3650]

Thanks for this great tutorial! Re-pierced my ears after surgery on them and they WOULD. NOT . Heal. For whatever reason. I have accumulated so many pierced earrings over time and I want to keep them! So, gonna try this. Wish me luck!

[@patriciaowens3479]

I had the same problem and I had them done twice, and they just kept getting more and more infected, so I finally just quit so I have the clip earrings. My sister had the same problem and she said you have to use pure gold but I didn't want to take the chances anymore so I stayed to wearing clip. So nice to see the converters, because there's beautiful pierced earrings that clipons just don't make.🤗🌷💖

As someone who makes earrings without having piercings, this is extremely helpful! (Fyi, those little rings are called jump rings)

Hi McKenzie!

[@itsjistjessa]

Just found your channel, you are adorable. I think it's super sweet you and your dad have a little project you can do together. Anywhere I had the same issue with my piercings. I never thought about clip ons because they were always hideous lol. Then I realized we can make any earrings clip ons. As far as the glue...would it work if you used a led/uv nail or gem glue and cured it? You would be able to hold it with the needle nose pliers so it would be straight. They also make thicker viscosity gel that's colored, so that may help camouflage it.

Hi! I was wondering if the pressure bothers you sometimes? Or how you deal with that?

[@kelyrin]

This was very interesting, thanks ! How long would you say you wear clip ons in a day ? Like, how many hours ? Each time I try to wear some I can’t last for more than 1 or 2 hours 🥺 it makes me so sad and frustrated. Is there maybe a learning curve, should I push through the pain ? I really don’t want to get my ears pierced 😖

[@lemoncake1811]

What can I put on the front of the clip on earring to prevent pain? my daughter says the front clamp really hurts and there is always a red mark left because it pinches her really badly. The back is protected with a silicone pad but its the front that is really painful...
