Earring Cards Tutorials


I use these little ones to display my earrings. I buy them in packs, not too expensive, but the cost still adds up to the price of the pieces and I don’t want that. I have to make the earrings more presentable when I offer them to my clients or when I have them in display so I still need to have these earring holders, but the added expense bothers me.



Good thing I was able to find great tutorials on how to make my own earring card holders.

Here goes...

Now that I have ideas on how to make an earring card, I can now make my own, less expensive and makes my handmade earrings totally handmade, even with the packaging.

Their done!!! Woohoo!!!

I finished working on my new earring cards! 
It was a LOT of work - but they are pretty :)
Don't you agree?


I used vertical cards that I ordered from Vista Print (LOVE their deals!).
Step two was to glue a "hook" type thing to the back so they'll go on the displays.
I obviously should of taken a picture of that, but I wasn't thinking!
Then I used a tape measure to mark where the holes for the earring wires should go.
Then I made the holes with a 1/16th hole punch (did you even know they have those?)
Last I took each pair of earrings, wrote new price and inventory tags, and put them on the cards!





I'm guessing I did about 75 pairs of earrings?
I didn't really bother to count...
But the backs I used came in a pack of 100,
and I think there are about 25 left.

Like I said, lots of work, but I think it's well worth it!
