This PotomacBeads tutorial will show you how to make brick stitch diamonds. This technique is used to make these adorable little diamond shaped earrings.
Using a size 12 needle, put a stop bead on about three feet of thread. Create a ladder stitch by adding two beads, bring the needle back around and through the first bead. Sew back through the second bead and add a third bead and back down the second bead. Then up through the third bead picking up a fourth bead and back down the third. Continue until you have six beads. This will be the center of the diamond.

Hello Allie. These earrings are so creative, thanks again for another great tutorial. Just asking, do you guys do any work with chain Maille?

[@sharonmaldonado1195]

On the large diamond earring, did you start with a row of 13 ladder stitch, or still start with 6, then increase from there?? I enjoy watching your videos, and always pick up a tip or two.

[@margaretgobrick428]

how do you do just a straight line with the brick stitch?

[@tinamcpherson3759]

How do make it so it don’t bend on the side

[@viviandibrell849]

Would this work with soft touch .010 inch seven strand cord? Seems pretty stiff

What is the size of the wire you are using

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can use any size of wire guards. But on this project I am using 4mm wire guards.
