These Beaded Triangle Earrings create a bold geometric statement and are surprisingly easy to make. They use Swarovski pearls and Czech seed beads woven together using a clear monofilament thread. Sometimes I know exactly what I want to make when I sit down to make a DIY, but other times, ideas come from just playing around with materials. You lovely lot are clearly fans of a beaded geometric earring, because my Bugle Bead Earrings have been really, really popular, so I wanted to make something similar for you, but this time triangular!

-6x 6mm round beads, I'm using Swarovski Pearls in Dark Lapis -36 x Size 8 (s8) seed beads -0.25mm Supplemax monofiliment thread -2 x 5mm jump rings -2 x fishhook earrings![Beaded Triangle Earrings DIY Tutorial](https://makeandfable.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Beaded-Triangle-Earrings-1.jpg)
How to make Beaded Triangle Earrings:
1.Cut a 60cm length of clear Supplemax thread and thread on 1 x s8 bead, 1 x 6mm bead, 1x s8, 1 x 6mm, 1 x s8 and 1 x 6mm. To make it easier for you to see, I'm using a needle and black beading thread- I wouldn't recommend using a thread like Nymo as it is just too floppy!![Beaded Triangle Earrings DIY Tutorial](https://makeandfable.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Beaded-Triangle-Earrings-2.jpg)
