Have some of these?
Well, did you know that you can totally customize them for yourself?
It’s so much better to have things that make you stand out in a good way because no one else has them.
You get to put your own personality into it. Your favorite colors. Your favorite yarn. And the list goes on and on.
It’s really easy to do and looks cute too. See?
I have totally been rockin’ these since I made them. I go through a love/hate relationship with hoop earrings, but right now I’m in the love phase.


d. Take the piece on the left side and slip it under the earring to the right side. Then take the original piece on the right and slip it under the earring to the left side.
e. Now the strands look like they are coming from underneath.
f. Tie a knot.
Continue repeating d-f a few more times. Then, dab some hot glue on the end of the hoop where you started knotting. Slip the first few knots over it to help secure it. Then continue on with knotting until you completely cover the hoop. End by dabbing a small amount of hot glue on the end and putting the knots over it. Cut the ends off and dab a bit of glue over that spot where you cut them.
*You can change the color as well to create a striped look. Just simply take a new color and knot it where you did the last knot, but making sure to knot over the previous colors strands. Knot over the other color a few time them trim them. You can also do this if you run out of thread and need to add more.


c. Yarn over hook (I grabbed the little strand as well to cover it up)
d. Pull top loop (or in my case, two loops) under bottom loop.
e. Place crochet hook under hoop.
f. Yarn over hook and pull back under hoop. Now you should have two loops (in my case three because I was still using the small beginning strand too, but it ran out soon and I clipped it off). Pull the top loop under the bottom loop.
Repeat e-f until covered.
*After crocheting over the hoop a few times, I dabbed some hot glue at the end of the hoop where I began and put the yarn over it to secure it. Do this again at the end. If the yarn ends are sticking out (like below), glue them down too. I kind of wrapped mine a bit then glued them.


Have fun! Feel free to share you creations you make using this tutorial in the flickr group.

That is so cool! I will defiantly be making a few pairs, especially loving the crochet ones!
LOVE the yellow crochet ones! I am really into yellow at the moment and those would be wonderful! Can I just steal yours?
ok, looove these! definitely keeping these on my ‘to make’ list. thanks jessica!
These are amazing!I have the same love/hate relationship with hoops. I’ve been wanted to get some, and now I have a great reason!
you are so darn creative!! i really like the yellow crocheted ones.. i have yarn just like that laying around, so i am definitely going to have to try those out.
I am pretty new reader to your blog, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your easy projects and great tutorials. I am having so much fun, in my very little spare time, making no-sew shirts and little crochet goodies. I can’t wait to alter my hoops now!
SO cute! This is when I wish my ears weren’t so darn sensitive, if I try to wear the “cheap-o” type earrings I last about 5 min and still pay for it. LOVE this idea! Maybe I’ll use it on some old bangles I have and never wear.
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [20 May 02:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Oooh! Love, love, love! I can’t wait to do the crochet ones. Thanks so much, I’ll be linking.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! These are super cute and I can’t wait to start making some! ๐
Cute!
I hope you’ll stop by and enter my giveaway.
Those yellow ones are to DIE for!!
What a great idea! I wear hoops 95% of the time. And I never seem to buy real silver (thanks, Target) so when they start to tarnish, instead of throwing them away, now I have a fun look to add to my accessories! Thanks!
Super cute! I may have to try these. I too go through a love/hate relationship with hoops. I think I may now be entering back into the love phase… thanks for sharing!
LOVE them. So creative. I really heart the yellow ones.
Wow, they are awesome!! I’m gonna try the crocheted one…just have to learn how to crochet first! ๐
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Great way to match the clothes you make to your accessories…matchy matchy style! Thanks Jessica, as always!!!
These are so, so cute!!
Oooh I like the crocheted one!
These are really cute, I too have a serious LOVE/HATE hoop earing issue so THANKS A LOT for turing my recent hate to LOVEEE!!! <3 The yellow ones look really good on you by the way -Marie
Jessica! These earrings are rocking my world! How fun is this? Can I please feature this on my Two Tips tomorrow? I know I got a little ole blog and all but these are too cute and I need a second tip to feature. Would that be OK? Just let me know if I can choose a photo from the post and link back to you. Cute, cute, cute. I am loving that green plate too! ๐
Once again, I LOVE this! Tried it with bracelets last night (kept my hands busy during LOST) and I’m so excited about my new bracelets! I blogged about it here and linked back to you.

Love these. More new things to try!
oh, these are wonderful, too! love the fabric-wrapped ones the best.
do you use the same technique to wrap fabric around the earrings like you did for tie knot
“do you use the same technique to wrap fabric around the earrings like you did for tie knot “
No. I literally just wrapped it around. As simple as that ๐
Your earring creations is an awesome inspiration! Many thanks for sharing. I would like to feature your designs at http://www.handmade-jewelry-club.com/

What a great idea, Thanks!
Wonderful inspiration! I will feature/link in a future post so others can come visit. Pearl
Found this post about a year ago now, and bookmarked it to do the fabric covered earrings. I FINALLY got around to it with an old pair of hoops that had the paint chipping off. Now they are fabulous! Thanks so much for the tutorial and the awesome ideas!
Those are so cool and so very creative. I will send my oldest out to nab some hoops from the craft store…and then get her to create some of these with her teenish sisters (and their friend who is staying with us for two weeks…she is now from Virginia, but grew up with my Princess Sweetness in an orphanage in Ethiopia)…
I am sure they will LOVE this project.
thanks so much…I was looking for something fun for them.
