Lantern Earrings Recipe
Blended colors and textures with architectural shapes inspired Emily to break a few rules of brick stitch. The result is the Lantern Earring, with the swing of a long, pretty fringe.
Skip the fringe for a simpler earring or use a single Lantern as a pendant…the possibilities are limited only by your creativity.

Please Note, we no longer carry 3mm Melons or 2mm Stone Rounds, and so we have replaced them with a 3mm Fire Polish and 2mm Fire Polish, respectively, for this project.
