Earrings Mirrors Beads Miyuki weaving Peyote Brick Stitch

You master peyote and brick stitch and you're tired of weaving "raplapla"? Follow this DIY trinket tutorial to make mirrored earrings with the combined stitch and peyote circular stitch technique!

Step 1 :
Cut a length of wire arm and make a double knot on the top of the candlestick . Add 2 Miyuki delicas beads and iron the thread in the first bead threaded to make a loop.

2nd step :
Go back to the second pearl, pass the thread through the hole in the candlestick and go back to the pearl on the other side. This will allow to fix the pearls to the candlestick. Do the same with the pearl next door.

Step 3:
Add a pearl, pass the thread in its neighbor then return in the pearl to put them side by side. Attach the new bead as explained in the previous step. Continue this way until you go around the candlestick. There are 26 red beads, 6 dark blue beads and 4 light blue beads per candlestick.

Step 4:
Attach the seed 15/0 Miyuki galvanized gold according to the technique of the stitch stitch point: Thread a rockery, pass the needle under the wire connecting 2 beads next to and iron in the pearl you just put on. You can watch the video about making earrings at the brick stitch point to help you.

Step 5:
Once you have circled the candlestick in the stitch stitch stick out the pearl at the top of the candlestick and put on 3 red delicas, 2 golden stones, 3 light blue delicas, 2 golden stones, 3 red delicas. Go through the rockery at the bottom center and come out by one of its neighbors then put on a row of pearls again. 3 red delicas, 2 golden seeds, 1 dark blue delicas, 1 light blue delicas, 1 dark blue delicas, 2 golden seeds, 3 red delicas. Go through the rock garden from above and go back into the central rockery and the row of pearls. Add a third row of pearls on the other side. Iron the rows and connect the beads of the different rows between them, 3 by 3, 5 by 5 then 3 by 3.

Step 6:
We will now do the weaving that will come to lock the mirror on the other side. This is a circular peyote weave. Thread 6 red delicas beads and iron all the pearls then in the first pearl to make a circle with the pearls. Do not over tighten the buckle and later weave. Also remember to leave 10 cm of wire to close the weaving a little later.

Step 7:
Add between each red delicas a dark blue delica then between each dark blue delicas 2 other dark blue delicas.

Step 8:
Continue the weaving by following the steps photos. Finish by adding 2 golden seeds between each rock and do not cut the thread.

Step 9:
Attach the weaving to the candlestick by replicating the technique of Step 2. Halfway, slide the mirror and finish closing the weave on the candlestick. Glue a rhinestone in the center of the peyote weave.

Step 10:
Place the sequins in the round head of the nails, then add the pearls. 3 red delicas, 2 golden stones, 3 red delicas, 2 golden stones, 3 red delicas, 2 golden stones, 3 red delicas, 2 golden stones. Adjust the nail size and form a loop to fix them to the candlestick.

Step 11:
Add the chains with rings and adjust their length afterwards. Attach the ear studs to the candlesticks.
