"You're my lobster" is a phrase started by the TV show Friends (specifically by Phoebe) to describe a soulmate or someone you are meant to be with forever. It is based on Phoebe's idea that lobsters fall in love and walk around holding claws. Make a pair and share the lobster love.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • lobster charms
  • Czech glass hearts
  • ear wire
  • jump rings
  • eye pins

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Slide a heart bead onto an eye pin. Create a loop at the top of the bead using round-nose pliers or a looper tool. Follow the tip below if using pliers.

See Tip: Wire Wrap a Bead Link

Step 2

Use a jump ring to connect the heart to the lobster.

Step 3

Gently open the loop of the ear wire to the side with pliers and slide on the earring. Close the ear wire loop gently. If you prefer, you can use a jump ring to connect the components instead of opening the ear wire loop.
