Earring Style
Beaded Fringe Earrings — Tutorials & Patterns
Fringe earrings are pure movement: strands of tiny seed beads that swing and shimmer with every step. They are the most rewarding project for beginners, because the fringe itself is simple stringing — all the structure lives in the small woven top.
My fringe earrings start with a brick stitch base in Miyuki Delica beads, then each fringe strand is added one by one. You control the length, the taper and the colour fade, so the same pattern can be a subtle everyday pair or a full festival statement.
Watch the video tutorials below, grab a PDF pattern with exact bead counts, or open Beadium and design your own fringe colourway in minutes.

How Beading Mode works
Open the fringe earrings pattern in Beadium, switch to Beading Mode, and it guides you from the first bead to the finished earring — free, no subscription.
Beading Mode highlights the current row and lists exactly what to string — 2A, 2B, 4A, 2B, 2A. Press Next and weave along.
When you reach the fringe, it switches to strand-by-strand guidance — here strand 4 of 20, bead by bead down and back up.
Every colour is a real Miyuki Delica code (DB0034, DB0756…) — edit the legend to match the beads in your stash.
