Brick Stitch Diamond shaped Earrings

Using the internationally known Brick Stitch, you will learn you to make these gorgeous diamond shape earrings using Delica seed beads. You can create bold geometric patterns when using brick stitch and the uniform, cylindrical shape of the delicas ensures that the beads tessellate beautifully together in 'brick formation'.

Be sure to watch all the way through the demo for tips, hints and extra suggestions as you can make far more from these beaded diamonds than earrings! Scroll further for the Word Chart or remember to take screen shots during the video of both the word chart and the picture graph. Alternatively, just hit the pause button where needed...
Right at the end of the video there'll be a chance to pause on both the picture graph and word chart together...if you don't manage to grab it during the video!
