Bring on the summer vibes with these radiant hoop earrings. These Endless Summer earrings use a simple brick stitch so beaders of all skills can enjoy creating this project.
1. To begin, tie your thread onto the ring. String on an EVA bead so that the needle is going up towards the point. Next, add 3 15/0s, 1 8/0 and 3 more 15/0s and bring your thread back up through the EVA bead. That will decorate the middle of the hoop with the seed beads. Go back down through the EVA bead after looping the thread around the hoop. Then repeat the pattern with a new EVA until you have gone around the ring.
2. Next, you will be using a bricks stitch with the seed beads to decorate around the outside of the ring. Be careful not to add so many beads so that it's too tight. When you've finished the first ring you will start a second row with a pattern of crystal and orchid seed beads.
3. You can choose to add another row of seed beads to create a polished edge look or leave as is for a fringed look. Add the wire guard. You could put in a second wire guard on the bottom of the ring if you would like to add a tassel to the hoop.
