More Fourth of July Beading Patterns:

Here is an American flag earring beading pattern that I have been making for years now (it is brick stitch). I hope to make a pair up tomorrow, so that I can show you a finished version...notice the slight wave in the flag:

Seed Beaded American Beauty Earring Pattern

These earrings would be perfect for the 4th of July!

Feel free to use the pattern to make yourself a pair (or buy them in my Etsy shop!).
You will need to know how to do a two drop brick stitch and looped fringe.
Size 11/0 round or cylinder type beads will work best. I used Toho 11/0 seed beads in cobalt silver lined, silver galvanized matte, ruby silver lined matte and white opaque (but any shade of red, white, blue and silver will work).
