Welcome!
Hey beautiful! In today’s tutorial I will show you how to make these flowing beaded brick stitch chandelier fringe earrings that are made up of some of the components from the February 2021 Bargain Bead Box.
Even if you’re not a Bargain Bead Box subscriber, you can make a variation of these earrings using the same exact techniques, and similar materials. Stay tuned for the next tutorial from the February box contents, which is for Peyote Stitch Beaded Bead Cap Pendants.

Designing From the Bargain Bead Box
This is the second tutorial I’ve shared based on February’s box contents. If you’re interested in learning more about how I came up with these designs, see the post: How I Design Jewelry from the Contents of the Bargain Bead Box. It will give you a peek into my design process, and show you how I turn a bag full of raw materials into finished jewelry.
For further design inspiration, I think you will enjoy checking out my monthly Finished Jewelry Update videos, which feature many items from subscription boxes. I like to share finished pieces to help spread provide ideas to other beaders who may be in a creative rut, or stall. Not to mention, it’s more fun to enjoy the bead boxes when we share our finished work. It’s amazing how we can take the same materials, and in many cases, come up with completely different designs!
