Learn how to weave cerle beads with this tutorial. It is not complicated, but this technique requires a good precision in its gestures and a basic knowledge of Brick Stitch weaving. Indeed, the technique used to hang the beads on the ear stud support is a technique that is very similar to this method of needle weaving beads.
Weaving beads on a stand is possible with other shapes: you can weave beads in the shape of a heart, a square, a rectangle, etc. All you need is a support on which to hang the beads.
These earrings are made of Miyuki delicas size 11/0, Miyuki seed beads also size 11/0 and dyed jade stone beads. The base is a gold filled stud earrings. Gold filled is a brass base with a thick layer of gold, much more than gold plated. However, the gold used is generally less pure than the latter. It is a good alternative for people slightly allergic to costume jewelry. It can be worn throughout the day without itching.

Cut 60 cm of yarn and thread it onto a size 12 or 13 weaving needle. Tie the yarn end to the spacer with a double knot. Leave 10 cm of yarn end. Thread two 11/0 delicates.
Pass the wire around the circle and back into the second bead on the same side of the hole from which the wire exits. Tighten.
Now we're going to bring the two beads together because they're at a bit of an angle. Go through the first bead through the top hole, then back through the second bead through the bottom hole.
Thread a new delica bead. Pass the thread around the circle and back into the bead. Tighten. Continue this way and weave a total of 18 beads.
The 18 beads don't exactly go around the circle but the next step will be much more complicated with 19 beads and the loops won't be as nice. (This is the case of one of the two loops in the photo which I used as a test). It is better to stay on 18 beads even if it means spacing the pink beads between them.
We will therefore join the first and eighteenth beads of the weaving. Pass the needle in the first bead through the top hole.
Return to the eighteenth through the bottom hole and squeeze. Move the beads around the circle with your fingers to space them evenly.
Thread 1 blue 11/0 seed bead, 1 gold Miyuki spacer, 1 blue 11/0 seed bead. Pass the needle through the next pink bead from the top.
Go up into the next pink bead from the bottom.
Thread again 1 blue 11/0 seed bead, 1 gold Miyuki spacer, 1 blue 11/0 seed bead. Pass the needle through the next pink bead from the top. Continue until you have gone around the circle.
When you finish the trick, go up into the next pink bead and go into the blue rockery and the top spacer. Thread 1 spacer, 1 jade bead 3 mm, 1 spacer.
Pass through the next golden spacer.
Continue to thread between each spacer, 1 spacer, 1 jade bead and 1 spacer.
Go around the loop 3 times, passing through the spacers and jade beads.
Finish by passing the needle through the beads so that you end up in the same bead as the starting knot. Make a double knot with both ends of the threads. Then, pass them separately through 5 to 6 woven beads to hide them and cut the excess threads short. Add a touch of glue to the knot.
