Supplies needed
- Miyuki bugles 6mm BGL 001 Crystal silver lined

- Silver jump rings 0.5mm thick 2.5 mm dia.
- Miyuki Beading thread light pink

DIY steps
1. Bead weaving in brick stitch
Use this pattern to make the top part of the earrings in brick stitch.

Start the first row in ladder stitch. See this previous post if you want to learn the basics of brick stitch.

Then go downwards on the pattern using the decrease at the beginning of the row technique marked as (1) on the pattern.

Weave through the beadwork to start from the third bead of the first row with a decrease at the beginning of the row (see above). 

On the next row, start with an increase.

Then, weave back to the next to last bead of the row and make a decrease. Follow the pattern to the top of the pattern making a decrease at the beginning of each row shown as (3) on the pattern.

Place the last beads horizontally and go through it several times to hold it strongly.

Weave your way down to the bottom of the beadwork.
2. Bead threading to create fringes
Follow the pattern below by threading all the beads of the first column on your needle.



Pull the thread but do not tighten it too much to keep the dangling effect. Go through the first bead of the brick stitch again upwards.

Then go downwards through the adjacent bead and repeat the operation to create all fringes as per the pattern.

3. Assembly
Open the jump ring with your pliers.

Place the ring inside the top bead and the earwire too.
Close the ring with your pliers.


You are done! You can make many variations in design and colours, have some fun!

I just love it, i’ll give it try, thank you so much for the tuto ❤️
I am glad you like it Melina. Have a wonderful beading time 😉
I love the earrings BUT if you draw a line across where you say “start here” it is NOT correct at the end of the row…where are the other 3 pink beads????
Hello Alwina, yes indeed you are right. The pattern is wrong as there is a row offset. Sorry I did not get the time to update it so far but I think it is pretty obvious from the pictures as you have noticed. I do prepare these tutorials on my free time to share my passion and it can be late at night so I can make mistakes. I don’t think capital letters and so many question marks where necessary in your comment though.
