These elegant beaded earrings are a beautiful study in structure, movement, and shine ✨
In todays video, I’m sharing a pair of earrings made using a pattern from Mastering Beadwork by the late, great Carol Cypher. They’re stitched with 11/0 Miyuki seed beads and built entirely with right angle weave, making them a fantastic project for anyone looking to truly understand and master this classic beadwork technique.
Right angle weave is one of those stitches that opens so many creative doors, and projects like this really help it “click.” You’ll see how consistent tension, repetition, and bead placement come together to create a fluid, fringe-style design that moves beautifully when worn.
Why I love this project:
-
A perfect skill-builder for right angle weave
-
Uses simple materials with stunning results
-
Elegant, lightweight, and full of movement
-
A wonderful way to honor Carol Cypher’s lasting influence on beadwork
Whether you’re revisiting right angle weave or learning it more deeply for the first time, this project is a rewarding (and sparkly!) way to practice. Grab your beads, get comfy, and let’s stitch together something beautiful
