Brick stitch is a fun way to create all kinds of shapes and patterns in your jewelry designs. Cynthia created a geometric look with a decreasing brick stitch. The point of the focal was the perfect place to dangle a tassel. Once you learn the brick stitch, you can come up with endless variations for this look. See more inspiration for small brick stitch pieces and even some peyote stitch projects in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
