Russian Leaf Earrings Chart 36 - Rainbow Stripes


  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Metallic Light Bronze" (DB22L)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Galvanized Matte Eggplant" (DB1174)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Galvanized Matte Berry" (DB1838F)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Galvanized Matte Gold" (DB1832F)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Galvanized Matte Dark Sea Foam" (DB1847F)


I tried another "Russian Leaf Earrings" design idea with four different colored stripes and liked it so well that I made this pair for myself. I changed the bottom metallic fringe slightly from the way that I usually make it so it looks a bit like another color band.

Click HERE to download my free PDF file which tells step-by-step when to add each color Delica bead while making these earrings. This is NOT a tutorial for making "Russian Leaf" earrings". You will need to use Jill Wiseman's tutorial (see the link below) but make them with seven rows instead of nine as Jill instructs.



  • 8/0 seed beads Toho "Nickel Plated" (711)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Nickel Plated" (DB21)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Opaque Blueberry" (DB267)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Opaque Dark Olive" (DB657)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Dyed Opaque Maroon" (DB654)
  • 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Dyed Opaque Anemone" (DB2140)

I also made the sample earring above using the same chart but with different colors.

Read THIS post where I explain how I finish and reinforce my Russian Leaf earrings. I also have information about how I stiffen my earrings in THIS post.

Watch Jill Wiseman's YouTube video tutorial HERE to learn how to make Russian Leaf earrings similar to these and download her free PDF HERE.


You can buy Delica beads at Red Panda, Aura Crystals, Supply Emporium and Jill Wiseman Designs.
