To kick off the fast-approaching summer, we're craving springtime colors and shapes to slip into our jewelry box! This pretty pair of flower ear rings is ideal for the season, and will accompany your everyday outfits as well as more festive outfits. Why not wear them to a wedding, for example? In this tutorial by Jenny, you'll learn how to create these flower earrings using Brick Stitch weaving. This needle-bead weaving technique involves stringing seed beads in rows next to each other. This creation is accessible to people with an intermediate level of weaving and takes around 3h30 to complete.
This tutorial is part of ourPerlement VôtreDIY jewelry collection . It's a special collection, since each of the creations was imagined and created by the winners of our Cré'Academy competition. You'll find five tutorials in pastel colors tinged with pink, peach and yellow. As you can see, these are the ideal creations for the summer ahead!
To weave the petals of your flowers, you'll need 4 references of Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads and one reference of Miyuki Duracoat 15/0 seed beads. To make the pistil of each flower, you'll need round faceted Preciosa beads and Czech glass beads, all to be assembled and glued onto a pair of stud earrings.
These earrings can be customized to suit your choice of bead colors. We have a wide choice of Miyuki beads on our website, so you can reproduce these flowers in the shades of your choice!

OPTIONAL: You can apply a coat of decopatch varnish to the back of each weave to solidify it. If you don't have any, a coat of clear nail varnish will do the trick. Be careful to apply a thin layer.
Once the varnish is dry, glue the ear stud in the same direction as shown in the photo. This way, the earrings can be worn in 2 different directions.
