  • Step-By-Step Instructions

    Start by tying about 3' of thread in a simple knot onto a ring. Using 39 seed beads, use a brick stitch to line the inside of the ring. If you find there is some space at the end you can move the beads around a little with your finger. Count out 32 Delica beads to stitch around the outside of the ring. Decorate the outer edge with the seed beads.
    Next is the center of the earring. You will be brick stitching around the pearl bead. You will be using a new piece of thread. Take 11 seed beads to stitch around the pearl. Once you're done the center piece, it's ready to attach the center of the ring.
    Using the Bicones, you will join the two sections together. You will be making another little component for the top with a round bead and seed beads. Watch Marissa as she shows you how in the Bombshell earring tutorial.
    When you put on a pair of Potomac Beads Bombshell Earrings, you are sure to turn heads. These earrings are easy to make and only require a basic knowledge of the brick stitch. You can use this stitch to create many different designs, making your earrings unique.
