Thanks for a fun, easy to stitch and beautiful earring project-the color combos will be endless!

[@honeycovin9665]

I can't wait to make a set! They are so perfect both for causal summer and classy enough for the office. Thank you so much for sharing your unique designs. I've learned so much from watching your videos.

[@cherylwhitney9900]

Kelly, I love these earrings! You are a very talented lady. Thanks, again! Have a Blessed day..

[@MissTeaq]

Thank you I’m a self taught beader and I was trying to figure how to get the bead to lie horizontally… Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

[@Yeskeya]

I love them! Thank you for making this video. You explain things wonderfully. Love those aqua earrings, that's my birthstone.

[@tradcathpat6807]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I get all discombobulated trying to get the beads to sit straight!!!!! Being able to watch you close up finally made sense. I kept turning my needle the wrong way 😂. God bless you!! 😘

[@donnahoefler2748]

Thank you Kelly for these easy yet pretty earrings.

[@mommysmoon]

This is such a fun pattern! I was skeptical about the memory wire, my ears are picky about what metals go through them, but it works. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@lynnm9389]

Love your videos. This worked up nicely. Also did the pattern on a loop earring. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@darsmith3448]

Hello! On the husband's advise I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a pair of Spring Wire Cutters. He says that memory wire is a spring wire...like what springs are made out of! Makes sense to me!!! Thank you for the tutorial!!! Blessings ans Re Jouir -Darlene

[@michelleadamchak1330]

I love harbor freight, I buy my flush cutters there too, they're phenomenal. I also buy their plastic storage boxes, with the 24 teeny tiny boxes inside. Perfect for findings and small amounts of beads. Lol, HF has pretty much provided 99% of my storage solutions for my bead studio!

[@dianelajoy5100]

Your instructions are so good!

[@janajahn8100]

Kelly I really enjoy your tutorials and was hoping you might do a cubic right angle weave earring with pearls and bicones sometime. Something that I thought beaders might enjoy. Thanks again for all you do. Jana Jahn

[@candycrawford9894]

[@doritavrahami4075]

Thank you Kelly. It is a lovely pattern. What is the diameter of the wire itself?

[@knitter4years]

Beautiful

[@mariacojocari4649]

Grazie per bella ideea. Buona creatività 😘

[@sheilacarroll7143]

Love these! Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹

[@aurawright2130]

Beautiful! How do you keep the beaded portion from twisting around on the hoop? I can fix them but I don’t want other people to have to do that. Thank you!

[@karinasulger7829]

love the look of these earrings , so easy but adorable to wear, just wondering , did u use square or round memory wire?

[@IreneKiew]

Thanks for these cute earrings, Kelly! Would it still work with round 11/0 Miyukis? I don't have any Delicas but I have a lot of 11/0s 😂

[@debbiereyes2226]

Do you need to somehow smooth the end of the earring that goes through the ear? Is it sharp, or not? Thanks! Love your videos!!

[@XOLanae]

So... I started an earring with brick stitch similar to this how would you go About adding more thread to this project? Unfortunately my Nymo kept knotting the second row of brick stitch ... and because I’m sick a perfectionist I’ve started the project 3 times and every time I’ve knotting my thread ... I’ve waxed the thread before front and everything else to try to prevent knotting..

[@offthebeadedpath]

I wouldn't suggest adding thread to a project such as this. The more you have to stitch through the beads to get rid of old thread and add new thread, the more you will be filling up your bead holes and that will jack up the chances of busting beads A lot of what causes knots is twists in the thread that aren't let out. If you find yourself getting knots, every so often while you stitch, Let go of the beadwork, hold the needle up making sure the beadwork is off the mat. From the needle, run your fingers down the thread. This will take out any twists in the thread that have built up

[@XOLanae]

offthebeadedpath thanks so much I was kinda figuring that was the answer... sometime I get ansy and in a hurry with a 2 yr old running around while I’m doing a project! Thanks so much ❤️

[@loycehake1170]

Super fun!

[@deborahbreaux8980]

I suck at brick stitch but ima give this a try I have lots of memory wire!

[@carolinaaristizabal6708]

Do you have any tutorial for this technique?

[@lalithakarnan4893]

Thank u

[@kelcatdog]

How sharp is the end of the memory wire that you put through your ear do you need do you need to smooth the end or file in any shape formed so if you have no sharp ends

[@offthebeadedpath]

If you use memory wire cutters the end is blunt and is not sharp. You can smooth them but I've found no need to.

[@kelcatdog]

Thank you i know there is different kinds of mermory i can buy from our loacl spotlight in Australia but i was want to know if different kinds to can buy are the all made of the same material and are the allergy free

[@Oonagh72]

How do they hold in your ear? Does the straight piece just hold it?

[@offthebeadedpath]

No, as I state in the video you will want to put a clear ear nut or regular ear nut on the earwire to hold the earring in your ear.

[@ann-marieroebuck3750]

You rock!!!

[@konovalovaevgeniya707]

[@estermonteiro3]

Lindo 😍 🇧🇷

[@susanacosioaguilar1602]

Que bonita

[@frankhenderson2443]

What type of thread did you use

[@offthebeadedpath]

You can use any beading thread you’d like for this project.

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

wait what is the story with all those figurines???? :D hahahhaha

[@melissastaley1128]

What dolls are those behind you? Is that a Hillary Clinton?

[@offthebeadedpath]

They are neither. They are funko pop figures.
