A simple row of aqua seed beads on the interior of two hexagon open frames is all you need for a chic pair of summer earrings.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

Please watch our video: How to do Circular Brick Stitch on the Interior of a Form. Based on what you learned in the video, you will tie on your thread to the large hexagon and weave 5 seed beads on to each side. Once you have gone all the way around tie off and weave in your tail.
Repeat on the small hexagon by weaving 4 seed beads on to each side.
Open one jump ring and attach one hexagon to the other (see photo for reference).
Finally, open the loop of the earring hook, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the top of the small hexagon and close the jump ring.

By purchasing the full lots of the items listed you will be able to make two pairs of earrings!
