How to Make Beaded Hoop Earrings Using the Color-Blending Technique with My 'Wilderness' Colorway

This tutorial will teach you the basic skills you need to add beaded fringe onto jewelry findings such as hoops, triangles, teardrops and more. You'll also learn how to blend bead colors together seamlessly with the color-blending technique, plus all the tips and tricks I've learned along the way.
What you'll need:
25mm gold-plated hoops (2)
Gold-plated earrings hooks (2)
Size 11/0 seed beads in 4 nature-themed colors
Size 15/0 seed beads for tips of fringe-a little sparkle is nice!
Beading mat
Triangle scoop
Mini scissors
A beading needle (I use Beadalon size 12)
A bobbin of beading thread (I'm using Nymo size D in Gold to match the gold hoops)
Jewelry cement
Jewelry pliers
The beads I used for these 'Wilderness' colors:
11/0 Miyuki #4512
11/0 Toho #Y310F
11/0 Toho #710
11/0 Toho #82F
15/0 Toho #221

I love this design, you're a good teacher. I made the 1st one then waited a few days to do the 2nd. I accidently picked up the wrong color white, that I am using. I didn't notice until i was on row 9, ( off white/cream). Oh well hey are for me. I will be making another pair after this heat wave. They are just lovely. Using the ring goes so much faster than building the top. My new fav. Thank you !!! Deb in KY

BafflingbeadsAT has a very similar pattern. I think her way on starting the first row of beads onto the hoop is easier.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback! I was curious to learn a different way of starting these out like you mentioned, so I had a look at her tutorials but I didn't see where the technique was any different...?

Thank you for tutorial! Could you tell me please the number of the dark blue beads next to the black ones? I like that colour 😍

[@bloomandbestow]

Hello! All of the bead numbers are listed in the description! I think the one you're referring to is Toho #710 (Iris Green, I think?). The darkest ones look black, but they're actually a gorgeous dark blue 🥰💙 Thanks for watching and reaching out!
