When you get to the last row of white delicas, tie a double knot around the cord on the left side as close to the beads as possible. I worked to the pattern completely from the start of the pink beads (so the row that reads A, C, C, C, C, C, A). I made a slight alteration to the design as I was working on it – see the first few rows of blue beads below in the pattern? I did three extra rows of blue beads in between to make the top part of the earrings a longer triangle shape (so two beads, four beads and six beads – see the photo below under the pattern to see what I mean). I’ve put together a little pattern that you can work to for these earrings – it’s a loom pattern (so if you have a beading loom, feel free to use it on there too!). Remember this mantra: under, under and over! Once you’ve gone back through the bead, you’ll need to pass your needle and thread under the cord on the left again, before you pick up beads for the next row. Then pass your needle and thread back through this first delica – over the cord on the right this time. Hold the delica in place in the middle of the two cords with your finger. Pass your needle and thread underthe left cord, pick up 1 x blue delica and then pass your needle underthe cord on the right hand side. Make sure it’s a double knot to stop the thread from moving around. Thread your beading needle and tie one end of your thread to the cord on the left hand side right under the loop. Secure the little loop you’ve just made underneath a bulldog clip (I’ve used a piece of card under this felt fabric for support). ![]() Make a slip knot in the centre of the cord, keeping the loop as small as you can as shown in the picture above.
