3D Christmas Stocking Charm Earring Bead Pattern

Ok, you have selected your Christmas outfit, you are feeling Christmassy, but what earrings should you wear? How about these little 3D beaded Christmas stockings! As with any good Christmas stocking these have little presents inside too! Using just a few beads and findings, these little charms are so quick to make up, taking around than 1-2 hours to create each one. Of course you don’t need to keep them as earrings, you can make book marks, charms, keychains etc with them, even use them on a present as decoration! As usual with ThreadABead featured patterns we give full detailed photographic instructions and in this pattern, there are 27 detailed steps, making this pattern even suitable for beginners to beading. This bead pattern is made using Japanese Miyuki size 11 Delica. A form of Round Peyote stitch is used but full detailed instructions are given, and no previous knowledge of the stitch is required. Please note the pattern may not work with any other size and type of beads. There are up to 6 delica colours in total for each stocking and the finished beadwork is approximately 1.73cm (w) x 1.25cm (d) 3.5cm (h). Wadding is required for each stocking, and also earring findings if you want to wear them as earrings (we have also used a trace chain and jumprings to add length). The bead pattern supplied is 11 pages and includes 27 full colour photo instructions.
