Video Tutorial for Angel Earrings
This video tutorial for angel earrings is a fun way to have this lovely jewelry with you. Although traditionally worn around Christmas (like the Christmas tree earrings), they can really be worn year ’round.
The basic earrings for angels take maybe 3 minutes to make. They make a great last-minute gift when you need it the most! And you’ve got to love something like that. 🙂
Video Tutorial for Angel Earrings
You don’t need much in the way of supplies for these earrings, but they do include beads that you might not have on hand. All the beads I am using in the video are made by Swarovski. So if you like these earrings, I suggest getting enough supplies for several pairs, so you have extra on hand for those last-minute gifts!
Pattern #1
- Two 11x9mm teardrop beads
- Two 11mm modular beads
- Two 6mm round beads
- Two 8mm marguerite beads
- Two headpins (I used 2″)
- Two earring findings
Pattern #2
- Two 12mm artemis beads
- Two 15mm modular beads
- Two 6mm round beads
- Two 8mm marguerite beads
- Two headpins (I used 3″)
- Two earring findings
Two pair of pliers are useful. You’ll definitely need the round nose pliers, and another set is really useful when making the wrapped loops, to get them nice and tight.
The colors I used are crystal and crystal AB for pattern #1. For pattern #2 I used golden shadow and crystal AB. You are certainly welcome to use these color combos, but I also encourage you to explore other colors as well.
And remember — you can use larger beads to make some pendants!
I hope you have enjoyed this video tutorial for angel earrings. For instant gratification jewelry that can be worn all year long, they are hard to beat.
Now go out and make yourself some jewelry! 🙂
Christmas Tree Earrings – A Video Tutorial
If you like instant gratification projects, Christmas tree earrings have to be close to the top of the list. They’re fast to make, fun to wear and you can make them in all colors. Greens are a natural, but don’t forget other hues!
In the video tutorial you’re about to watch, you’ll see the pattern that’s been around for years, plus a pattern with a newer bead style from Swarovski.
Keep in mind that while I’m demonstrating earrings, you can also make pendants based on these patterns.
Video Tutorial for Christmas Tree Earrings
First, let’s go through the list of supplies needed for these earrings.
Pattern#1
- Two 4mm bicones
- Two 6mm marguerites
- Two 8mm marguerites
- Two 10mm marguerites
- Two 12mm marguerites
- Two 6mm cubes
- Two headpins
- Two earring findings
Pattern #2
- Two 12mm artemis beads
- Two 4mm bicones
- Two 4mm cubes
- Two headpins
- Two earring findings
For both patterns I used 3mm headpins. You’ll also need a pair of round-nose pliers, and I also suggest a pair of chain nosed pliers to help with making the wrapped loop.
For colors — that is totally up to you! In pattern #1 I used emerald green for the tree, fire opal for the bicone and light topaz for the cube. In pattern #2 the artemis is fern green, the cube silver and the bicones once again fire opal.
Now that I’ve listed the supplies, how about the tutorial itself? Glad you asked, because here it is! I hope you enjoy it, and that you’ll create a multitude of trees for your holiday!
And as always — if you like this tutorial, go ahead and give it a “like” (thank you kindly).
Beadweaving Earrings Tutorial #1
Earrings, “Double-Take”
One thing I love about beadweaving is that it tends to be very quick to work. And beadweaving earrings are especially fast! And although I love bead embroidery, there are times when it’s so soothing to get into the rhythm of weaving with beads.
So with that in mind, here’s tutorial number one for my earring beadweaving series.
Earrings Galore
I’ve worked on three designs for this tutorial. All three are based on the same idea, just worked in different ways to give different looks.
To the right you see the earring design I called “Double-Take”. This design is two-sided, with a different (but similar) pattern on each side. This makes sure that no matter how your earrings show, they show a neat design.
I also have two other designs in the tutorial; “Pearl Staircase” and “Cosmic Sparkle”. The “Pearl Staircase” is a little more on the casual side, while “Cosmic Sparkle’ is definitely Bling (with a capital B).
But the great part is that any of the earrings can be dressed up or down, based on the kinds of beads that you use.
 What You Will Learn
Earrings, “Cosmic Sparkle”
In the 25 pages of the Beadweaving Earrings1 tutorial, you’ll learn lots, including the following.
- Instructions for three earring patterns — “Pearl Staircase”,”Double-Take” and “Cosmic Sparkle”. Naturally, you’ll get a full supply list, including the seed bead color numbers.
- Creating a basic ladder stitch, as well as a modified ladder stitch.
- How to embellish the basic pattern.
- Ideas for alternate designs.
There are lots of up-close photos, so you can see exactly where your needle should be going, and how to accomplish the stitches. Although the instructions are easy to understand, there are times when a picture is worth a thousand words!
