*Again just mute the video it's just random snow patrol music*

0:00 - 1:57 = Notes
2:00 - 4:05 = Planning
4:10 - 5:50 = Making
5:55 - 7:55 = Decorating

How random have I gotten? I got bored and this had happened!
Sorry if you cannot read my writing in the first half, I attempted to make it large and readable, so the camera could see it easily. But it still ended up as a mess, so sorry about that.

I'll be making another one of these videos, yet slightly different, when this video hits about... 15k?
[[That'll give me time to think of how to improve the video etc. ]]
Or I might make it before that. Honestly, it depends how things go. :P

Side notes:
-I've got nothing against real ear stretching, I personally think it's awesome to people who have really stretched their ears (having tunnels etc.) So if people would rather stretch their ears, then that's brill', but if they don't/can't and would rather have fakes, that's their choice. :]

-This video is mainly on how to make creative earrings, fun looking earrings. I was inspired by those on DeviantArt.com with the amount of creative earrings that could be made. So it's not necessarily meaning, fake stretchers/gauges.

-Yes, you can buy these. In fact, I bought a one to see how to get my one to work the same. But you will come to notice, most of the fake stretchers will start looking all the same. (or in my opinion at least, it's more limited in the UK/Wales personally)

So, in Total: This Video is about Arts & Crafts. :]

Anyways, Thanks for viewing. Comments & Questions are most welcomed. :D
I'll answer all questions that you wish to question about.
Also if you've made some, inbox me with links or make a video on them & send it in as a response to this, I'd love to see them! :)

Edit: Fail within a few seconds of video, spelt 'stretcher' wrong, whoop!

  • how long did this take in total?

  • @redishsetters Hmm... this was 2 years ago, but I think it was between 30 mins to an hour. Most the time was spent painting if anything.

  • could i use playdough

    

  • @mosinmatt1 I guess you could... but personally, I wouldn't suggest it, playdough turns brittle when it drys out, but if you just want to do it, for the more fun side, go for it :]

    But if you want it more, long lasting, I suggest you use a different material~

see all
