The earring base is a metal hoop. But you can use other bases as well (such as an
ellipse, a rhombus, a triangle) Picture 3. It is important to choose seed beads of
matching colors to your liking.
Picture 3The brick stitch technique is very simple. One layer is sewn onto the other. The seed
beads on the first layer are fixed onto the metal hoop with wraps. Thus the item will
be stiff and keep its shape. The second layer is attached onto the threads between the
beads of the first layer. Using this method, you can create as many circles as you like.
You can play with colors and create fascinating color effects. One color will be
fading into the other. You can use this technique to bead a necklace, earrings, and
bracelets. Decoration is used to finish your jewelry item.
