Nathan Earrings Beading Pattern

Here is a new beading pattern!  They are pretty simple earrings, but the endless possible color combinations can make them stand out and WOW!

In my example, I used primary colors and turquoise.  I was going for a tribal look.

This pattern was completed using a combination of ladder stitch, two drop brick stitch, and fringe.  A foundation row is created using a ladder stitch with two beads in each row (9 rows).  The rest of the beadwork is completed using a two bead brick stitch.  It's a good pattern for a beginner because there are no complicated increases or decreases.  I used round, size 11/o seed beads for the earrings pictured above, but feel free to experiment with the pattern using various sizes, shapes, and colors of beads. 

You can get the PDF download for this pattern HERE.

Getting Ready...and a FREE Beading Pattern!

We have been having some fun getting ready for the 4th of July!
We painted our toenails a couple of days ago...
It was such a pain doing all of the detail with a toothpick!
I saw something similar here today, and it looks like an easier process.

I also made the girls these flag fringe necklaces.
They were super quick and easy to make...
and I put together a pattern to share!
I started by stringing the necklace part with beading wire, but you can use beading thread also.

~basic bead stringing/fringe knowledge is helpful~
