Beaded Heart Earrings
Project #68-002-19
Parts:
40 20-228-013 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0 -White Ceylon
75 20-228-211 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0 -Red
90" 61-119 Nymo Cord
1 65-030-12 Needle, size 12 "sharp"
1pr. 34-223-1 Surgical Stainless Steel Earwires -White
Instructions:
1. Using half the cord, string the needle.
a. Now anchor a bead at the end of the cord, about 1" from the end, by stringing any bead and tying it in place. (Do not knot it firmly; this bead comes off at the end of the project.) This anchor bead will make holding the project easier and stop beads from falling off. This will be considered the left side of the project.
b. Starting with the widest row (Row 1), string 3 Red beads, 2 White, 2 Red, 2 White, and 3 more Red.
Make a "Ladder Stitch". This stitch is the foundation for the "Brick Stitch" which is used for this earring. Push the beads toward the end of the cord, about ½" from the anchor bead. Now string back through the second bead from the end of the working cord (the cord with the needle). Be sure to go through the left side of that bead.
c. Now continue going through each bead in line. Be sure to go in the left side hole first. When finished, the working cord should be next to the anchor bead.
d. Pull tight. Beads should now be facing with their holes up and down.
