    Quick Project Steps

    PotomacBeads Tutorial is excited to introduce the Granny Square Earrings! These fun and colorful earrings are perfect for any occasion, and will add a touch of personality to any outfit.
    Start with six 15/0s, bring the needle back up through all six beads and pull into a circle. Keep the thread tail out of the way. Add two 11/0s and three delicas followed by another two 11/0s and bring the needle back through the first 15/0 to form a little triangle. Continue adding more groups of seed beads and delicas, one for each 15/0. Add a seed bead in between each set of delicas to fill the edge.
    Watch Anna in the Granny Square earrings tutorial as she shows you step-by-step how to complete the different components.
    Once you have all the sections together you can go through the piece to bring the ends of the thread together, this also helps to stiffen the beads. Add the earwire.
    These Granny Square earrings make a great addition to any outfit. Whether dressing up for a special occasion or just adding a little bit of fun to your everyday look, these earrings are sure to do the trick. If you're looking for a funky and unique gift for a friend, these patchwork-inspired earrings are a great way to show your friend how much you care.
