Only one day, the postal service busted off the back of one of the earrings.

Here are the supplies to you'll need to prepare postal service earrings:

E6000 glue or Aleene'south Ultimate Glue (I think Aleene's smells ameliorate/less than E6000)
Post Earring Backs
Toothpicks (for spreading the glue)

If you even so have the earrings post that originally came with the earrings and information technology's not damaged (like the pin did non break away from the flat disc part of the back) so you only need the E6000 mucilage to do this DIY earring set up.

Missing earring posts?

If you don't accept the posts that came with the earrings (or the post bankrupt), you can buy a pack like the ones I linked above. You can find packs of the posts and backs in the jewelry supplies aisle of almost arts and crafts stores. Or you can always order these: Post Earring Backs.
