Minipunkz: How to make Mini Pumps Earrings
Written by Ada on July 23, 2009How to make Mini Pumps Keychain:
Material:
-1 Pair of Mini Doll Shoes
-A Safety Pin OR a Needle
-A Lighter OR A Lighted Candle
-Tweezers
-2 x Earring hoops (It’s the little circle thingy, I think that’s what they call them… You can get them at Arts & Craft store like “Beadswork” or “Micheals”)
-2 x Stainless steel French Hook Ear Wires (You can get them at Arts & Craft store like “Beadswork” or “Micheals”)
Here are the steps:
1) Heat the tip of the safety pin/needle with a lighter/lighted candle. (CAUTION: The pin/needle will get super hot once it’s heated, so make sure your hands are protected, wear a glove or something…)
2) While the pin/needle is still super hot, try to poke it through the back of the doll shoe to make a hole. Yes…I know…it’s tough, but don’t worry, you can do it.
(Miranda lost a shoe when she tried to do it shhh….)
Now…you might need to do this repeat Step 1 and Step 2 a couple of times if your pin/needle is not hot enough. (Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until you manage to make a hole)
Oh and try not to inhale when you are doing Step 2, because it smells kinda bad.
3) Use a tweezers (I used my finger nails), slightly bend open the earring hoop (the circley looking thingy), hook it into the hole. Use a tweezers and close the earring hoop. Repeat for the other side of your earrings.
4) Attach the French hook ear wires to the earring hops. Repeat for the other side of your earrings.
5) Ta Dah! Now you’ve got a COOL pair of Mini Pumps Earring.If you want your earrings to look EVEN COOLER, you can purchase some Oil Based Paint/Acrylics and paint some designs on it. Enjoy!
Speaking of which…I customized one pair for my sister, but she lost it:(! Maybe I will make one again later and show you guys what the earrings could look like when they’re painted.

Yeah, you don’t want to smell the fumes when poking the shoe
