Instructions

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

Please begin by watching our video: How to Bead Weave Circular Brick Stitch Around a Ring. From what you learned in the video, cut off about 4 feet of thread and tie it around the open frame hoop with a double overhand knot.
Begin your first row of white seed beads. When you're ready, start the second row, this time with the chartreuse beads. And finally add your third row of grey beads.
To complete this next step please watch our video: How to Add Bicone Crystals to Circular Brick Stitch. From what you learned in this video add the row of chartreuse seed beads and crystals going all the way around the earring and then add the bead at the top to attach the jump ring and the earring hook.
