- Let the glue dry
- Repeat for as many earrings you need
Tip: I dried my earrings face down to avoid the pearl embellishment from moving around while the glue dried

How To Take Care Of Your Easy DIY
Vintage Pearl Stud Earrings
Whether you are making these trendy earrings for yourself or as a gift, here are some care suggestions for you to keep in mind:
- Avoid wearing your DIY Earrings in water, like swimming pools or the ocean. If you are near a pool, or an ocean let’s talk, because I’m totally jealous. But please note that the chemicals in the pool water and salt water may destroy those gorgeous vintage pearl studs. Generally, getting them wet is not such a good idea
- If you are heading out to a fun party or event, be sure to keep your gorgeous vintage pearl earrings from exposure to your make-up or cosmetics
- To clean your earrings, gently polish them with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid scratching
- Store your pretty DIY Earrings in a dry, cool place.
- Avoid wearing your pretty earrings to bed
