    Quick Project Steps

    Take a break from the ordinary and add some energy to your day with these Oasis Earrings. Use your brick stitching skills to create these beautiful dangle earrings.
    Put a stop bead on the thread along with a size 10 needle. Pick up two cylinders and bring the needle back through the first cylinder towards the second one. Bring the needle back through the second bead, that will begin the ladder stitch. Add one cylinder at a time until you have eight in a row.
    Add a seed bead, two cylinders and another seed bead. Skip the first bridge thread and sew under the second bridge thread. This will begin the brick stitch. Repeat the process with one cylinder and seed bead until you have seven in a row. Step up and decrease each row by one.
