How to Make Cross Stitch Earrings or Mount Cross Stitch in a Bezel Setting

Here is my how-to video on making a pair of cross stitch earrings using a free pattern I designed. I go step by step from stitching, cutting, and eventually mounting the earrings into the bezel settings. This project is pretty easy, looks great, and can be made cheaply too! You can download the free cross stitch pattern over at https://littlestabstudios.com/downloa... . I apologize in advance for the areas of the video that are a bit hard to see. I have a few video recommendations below and linked into the video itself if you need more help with those parts. If you want to see the written instructions, please see my blog post on this here: https://littlestabstudios.com/how-to-... First the materials: Cabochon Bezels, I used 20 mm sized circles. You can get similar ones here: https://www.mybeadsfindings.com/p-232... I love to use Leonis water erasable markers. Some stitchers have said they have issues with the color remaining, but I always use a little hand wash detergent when cleaning and have never had a problem with these pens. You can get the same ones here: https://www.amazon.com/LEONIS-Water-E... For earring hooks, here are some nickel-free ones: https://www.michaels.com/premium-meta... If you want to add some beads, you’ll want to use an eye pin to have them easily attach. This pack has a few sizes in case you want to try out different sized beads: https://www.michaels.com/eye-pins-mix... For the beads themselves, I find it hard to shop online for those. I believe the fake pearls I used are 8mm, and they have a rough finish to them. These are a similar-looking color, but this is such an easy thing to customize that I recommend looking around a bit: https://www.michaels.com/pearl-white-...
