- Optional: Fringe beads (e.g., bugle beads, seed beads)
Step-by-Step Beading Instructions
1. Create the Foundation Row
1. Thread a needle with your beading thread and double it over.
2. String on 5 seed beads and pass the needle through the first bead again, securing them into a circle.
3. Add 3 more seed beads and pass the needle through the next bead of the foundation row, creating a second circle.
4. Continue this process until the foundation row has the desired length.
2. Begin the Brick Stitch Pattern
1. String on a seed bead and pass the needle up through the next bead of the foundation row, next to the last circle.
2. String on another seed bead and pass the needle back down through the circle you just created.
3. Repeat this process, adding a bead and weaving it into the foundation row, until you reach the end of the row.
4. Turn the work and repeat the process on the other side of the foundation row.
3. Continue the Pattern
1. String on a seed bead and pass the needle up through the next bead of the previous row, between the last two beads.
2. String on another seed bead and pass the needle back down through the bead you just added.
3. Continue this process, adding beads and weaving them into the previous row, until you reach the desired earring size.
4. Finish the Earrings
1. String on a crimp bead and pass the needle through the last few beads of the earring.
2. Crimp the bead to secure the earring.
3. Attach an earring hook to the crimped bead.
5. Add Fringe (Optional)
1. Cut a piece of beading thread 12-15 inches long.
2. Thread a fringe bead onto the thread.
3. Bring the thread through the bottom of the earring, just below the crimp bead.
4. String on more fringe beads and repeat the process until the desired fringe length is achieved.
5. Secure the fringe by knotting the thread and trimming any excess.
