Nunn Design triangle charms are the perfect foundation for a simple brick stitch look created with Matubo seed beads.
Tie a 3-foot length of thread to the bottom of the triangle frame, leaving a 4-inch tail. Add two seed beads and wrap the thread around the bottom of the frame and come up through second seed bead, as if you were adding a new row of brick stitch to an existing row of beads. Go down through first seed bead and back up through second seed bead.

Continue this first row of brick stitch, adding one bead at a time and wrapping the thread around the frame for each bead added. Add seven beads to the first row.
Create a second row of brick stitch, starting on an increase and ending the row on an increase.
Create a third row of brick stitch, starting on an increase and ending the row on an increase.
Create a fourth row of brick stitch, starting on a decrease and ending the row on a decrease. Repeat this step to make all subsequent rows until you have a final row with just two seed beads.
Add one bead to thread at the top of last row and go through the second bead in the row. Secure and trim thread.
Add an earwire to loop on the top of the triangle.
Repeat steps 1-7 to make the other earring.
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!
