Earrings

• 1). Clean and harden your sand dollars before making them into jewelry. See "How to Find Sand Dollars at the Beach," under Related eHows, to learn how to clean and preserve sand dollars.
  
  
• 2). Decide what type of earrings you wish to make: wire or post.
  
  
• 3). Use a 1/16-inch drill bit to drill a small hole in the top of two small sand dollars. Each hole needs to be about 1/4 inch from the edge.
  
  
• 4). Place jump rings into the drilled holes.
  
  
• 5). Attach French wires, shepherd wires or any type of wire earring to the jump rings. Make sure the sand dollars are facing out or toward the front of the earring wires.
  
  
• 6). Glue sand dollars to post earring blanks with strong glue that will be clear when dry.
