Fly Earring

[feathers5 0]

I'd like to make a few pairs of fly earrings. Where do you buy the empty rings on which to tie the flies? Is there any tutorials?

Thanks,

Bruce

I get them at wallmart in the craft section you get the hooks then tie your fly on craft wire and attatch it to the ear ring hooks

Or try a beadwork shop. I haven't tried it, but I know people that bead and if I recall, they make wires for earings that should be stiff enough to tie on.

craft store. It is really easy. just bend the wire open put the fly on and bend it shut.

joanns or michaels sells them around me.

i made my girlfriend & her daughter earrings out of spinner bait blades w/ matching necklaces.

The have earring wire in JoAnns or Michaels? Are they hoops that you open, tie on, and then close?

Hi Fly tier. Do you just tie the fly on a hook, clip the hook part and attach the fly to the earring?

they are very light wire hanger type earrings.

if i remember right the 1s i bought had a small spring & bead you could open & close

as far as the fly you dont have to cut the hook you could glue a bead over the point
