Brick Stitch Hexagon Flower Earrings: A Beginner Tutorial with a Modern Twist

Flowers are a beading classic, but this design puts a fresh, geometric spin on the idea. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make these brick stitch hexagon flower earrings, combining a hexagon-shaped hoop with beaded petals to create a modern, flower-like silhouette. It's beginner-friendly, quick to make, and looks completely different depending on your color choices.

If you love the idea of floral jewelry but want something a little more graphic and structured than a traditional beaded flower, this one's for you.

Why This Design Works So Well

This earring pairs a hexagon-shaped hoop finding with individual brick stitch petals, stitched directly around the frame. The straight edges of the hexagon combined with the soft, rounded petals create a really lovely contrast, giving the whole design a modern-meets-organic feel.

Because each petal is a small, individual piece of brick stitch, this is also a great project for practicing basic shaping without committing to a large, complex piece. You'll get plenty of repetition (in a good way) as you work your way around the hoop, building confidence with each petal you complete.

Why This Is a Great Beginner Project

• Small, repeatable pieces — each petal is a manageable mini-project, so you build confidence and consistency as you go.
• Striking geometric-meets-floral look — the hexagon shape gives a traditional flower motif a fresh, modern update.
• Quick to finish — a satisfying project you can complete in one sitting.
• Color is everything — as you can see in the photo above, the exact same design looks completely different in purple, silver, mustard and gold, or coral, so there's lots of room to make it your own.

What You'll Need

(Adjust this to match your exact supply list from the video.)

• Miyuki Delica beads or seed beads in your chosen petal color
• A pair of hexagon-shaped hoop earring findings
• Beading needle (size 10 or 12)
• Beading thread (like Nymo, FireLine, or C-Lon)
• Scissors or thread snips
• A beading mat or tray to keep your beads organized

What to Expect in the Tutorial

This tutorial is designed to be approachable for beginners, and covers:

• How to bead each individual petal using brick stitch
• How to attach your petals evenly around the hexagon hoop
• Tips for keeping your petals consistent in size and shape
• How to keep your tension even throughout the project
• How to finish your thread securely once all your petals are attached

By the end, you'll have a striking, modern flower-inspired pair of earrings, and more confidence with small-scale brick stitch shaping that you can apply to future projects.
