CatColorado Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi all! I have a question for all of you crafty people out there... what's the best way to convert post earrings to clip on style? These are to be a gift and I want to make them as professional looking as possible. In the distant past I have used one of those converter kits and it didn't work very well. I thought I would check here before harrassing my jeweler friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I suppose you could snip off the posts and super-glue the earrings to clips, I believe I've seen the separate replacement clip-backs at craft stores like Michael's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Yeah, that's similar to what my jeweler friend said, only she recommended using two part epoxy as the adhesive. If the earrings are silver, gold, or brass, you can use solder (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
