17 DIY Dangle Earrings You Can Make Yourself

December 24, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

 

I’ve loved dangle earrings for as long as I can remember.  Don’t ask me why, because I have no idea. They go with just about everything and are so cute. Also, wearing them is appropriate all year round. But there’s just something about warm weather that makes such accessories much more fun to wear.

Anytime I see a new bead, I imagine how it would look dangling from my ear. I have seen such adorable earrings all over and I thought why not try making them myself?

When I started making my own earrings, I created lots of different dangle earrings. I wondered what I was going to make with them. These pretty earrings will give you the opportunity to learn some simple earring making techniques and I think they would make a great gift for family and friends.

Once you get the basic technique, the possibilities are really endless, and the results are always beautiful. You can embellish them by mixing different materials, adding charms or graduating the size of the beads.

And remember, the technique is not complicated. There are only a couple of steps to follow, when it comes to making this type of earrings.

As an avid crafter you can look at the DIY potential and start searching for cute, creative ways to make your own jewelry. Whether it’s earrings, bracelets, rings or necklaces, jewelry making is always a fun time. When you make handmade jewelry, you can always come with your own cute creative embellishment ideas. You could turn earring making into part of a ladies or moms’ night out event.

So today I’m sharing some tutorials with all the details of what you need, so that you can easily make your own DIY dangle earrings. You will need, of course, some basic jewelry making supplies:

Hama BioBeads Review: The Eco-Friendly Fuse Beads You’ll Love

As a long-time crafter, I’ve worked with all kinds of materials, but there’s something about fuse beads that never gets old. The creativity, the colors, the nostalgia—it’s all part of the fun! But let’s be honest, traditional plastic beads aren’t exactly great for the environment. That’s why I was so excited to try Hama BioBeads, an eco-friendly alternative that promises all the fun of classic Hama beads without the plastic guilt. So, do they live up to the hype? Let’s dive in!

What Are Hama BioBeads?

Hama BioBeads are a biodegradable version of the classic Hama fuse beads. Instead of being made from petroleum-based plastic, these beads are crafted from a plant-based, eco-friendly material that naturally decomposes over time. That means less plastic waste while still enjoying the same vibrant colors and creativity that fuse bead lovers expect.

First Impressions: Do They Feel Different?

When I first opened the pack, I was curious—would they feel different from traditional beads? The answer: not really! The beads are slightly smoother to the touch, but they’re just as easy to handle, pick up with tweezers, and place on a pegboard. The colors are just as bright and bold, which was a big relief since I was worried they might look dull or faded.

One of the things I love about these beads is that they’re the same size as regular Hama beads, so they work with all my existing pegboards and accessories. No need to buy new tools or change my crafting process!

How Do They Fuse?

Now, onto the real test—how well do they iron together?

I followed my usual fusing process, using parchment paper and a medium heat setting on my iron. The beads melted together perfectly, just like regular Hama beads. No weird smells, no uneven melting—just smooth, well-bonded designs.

I also noticed that once cooled, the fused beads felt a bit sturdier than traditional plastic beads. That’s a huge plus because sometimes regular beads can feel brittle or break apart too easily.


What Makes Hama BioBeads Special?

? Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable – The biggest selling point! These beads naturally break down over time, reducing environmental impact.
? Non-Toxic & Safe for Kids – Made from natural materials, they’re a safer option for little crafters.
? Same Great Quality – They look, feel, and fuse just like classic Hama beads—no sacrifice in quality!
? Works with Existing Hama Accessories – You don’t need special pegboards or tools; they fit right into your current stash.
? Great for Schools & Eco-Conscious Crafters – If you’re an educator or a parent looking to introduce sustainability to kids in a fun way, these are perfect!

The only potential downside is that since these are a newer product, they may not be as widely available as traditional Hama beads. Some colors also seem to be in and out of stock, so if you see a set you love, I’d suggest grabbing them while you can.

 If you love fuse bead crafting but want a more sustainable option, Hama BioBeads are a fantastic choice. They’re just as fun, colorful, and easy to use as regular Hama beads, but they come with the added bonus of being better for the planet. Whether you’re a hobby crafter, a parent, or a teacher, these beads are a guilt-free way to get creative.

So if you’re looking to make your crafts a little greener, give Hama BioBeads a try!  Check them out here!
