Each component requires nine superduos, four 6mm round beads, four 4mm (or 3mm) round beads or crystals, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. For earrings, 2 ear hooks are needed (no jump rings). For the bracelet, you can either directly stitch in a magnetic clasp (no jump rings), or use jump rings and traditional lobster clasp. The finished bracelet with clasp is about 7 inches long – an extender chain can be added to make it longer/adjustable.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This is a wider variation of the Superduo Ribbon Bracelet from my last post, and incorporates three superduo colors instead of two, but could be easily adapted to five colors. This simple bracelet design has clean lines and parallel slanted edges at either end to frame a magnetic ball clasp for the closure. Use an embellished clasp as the centerpiece! Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This bracelet requires three colors of superduos, 6/0 and 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and an 8mm magnetic ball clasp. The design can easily be adapted to five colors of superduos by using two different colors along one of the edges. No jump rings needed for this design, as the clasp is stitched directly into the piece. You can use any embellished clasp as long as it has closed loops to stitch through. I also used a size 10 beading needle with about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline for this bracelet.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the center crystal and either gold or silver for the borders. In most cases I chose crystals that matched the center Rivoli crystal, but the green example came out nicely with different but complementary colors. This component is versatile, and can be used as a pendant, earrings, or bracelet center. You can even connect multiple components together into a necklace or connect one or more components with multiple strands. Have fun experimenting with color and connection combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
Each component requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), 14mm Rivoli crystal, and twelve 3x4mm rondelle crystals, plus two 6/0 seed beads and jump rings to connect bail, ear hooks, or bracelet strands. I used about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 11 beading needle to make each component.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! These earrings are easy to make, and nicely compliment the Camilla Bracelet from my previous post. Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the superduo and a contrasting color for the borders. In one example, I used a 3rd color for the corners (the earrings with black corners). Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors) and superduos, plus two 2-inch head pins to connect ear hooks. You can optionally use a 3rd color of 11/0 TOHO seed beads for the corners. I used about 2 meter/yard of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make each earring.

Download PDF

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This bracelet is very easy to make and has two versions: one with 4mm crystal embellishments, and one without – the video tutorial and diagram explains both variations. In either version, using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the superduo (version 1) or crystal (version 2), and a contrasting color for the border. Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
To make this bracelet you will need superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads (two colors), and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. If making version 2 of the bracelet, you will also need around a dozen 4mm bicone crystals. I find it is best to pick one of the seed bead colors that match the superduo (if making version 1) or crystal (if making version 2). I also liked transparent superduos for version 1. I used about 2 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This bracelet is very easy to make, and works well with just one color, or multiple colors, or with any variety of finishes. There are two ways to incorporate two colors of superduos: one with a center vs border color (like the red/black or blue/gold examples), and one with alternating colors (like the white/aqua or silver/magenta examples) – the video tutorial explains both. Have fun experimenting with infinite color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
To make this bracelet you will need superduos (in one or more colors), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. I used about 3 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Pair this curvy vine-like budding bracelet with spring colors, and create a beautiful accessory for Spring. This bracelet works really well as a wrap bracelet, and works with a variety of bead finishes and palettes. Using colors in the same family (like varying pastels, or different shades of the same color) seemed to work better than highly contrasting color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
A single wrap of this bracelet requires about ten 6mm round beads, ten 4mm round beads, twenty superduos, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. For a bracelet with multiple wraps, you will need to multiply that by the number of wraps you want. Two 6/0 seed beads and two jump rings are also needed to attach a lobster clasp. In one of the bracelets (the one made with light green metallic seed beads), I used round beads that were closer to 5mm instead of 6mm, and that worked just as well.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This component can work as a pendant or earring and is fairly quick and easy to make. Alternatively, you can make just the bottom part of the component for a shorter pendant or earring (not pictured). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this pendant, you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads, one 6/0 TOHO seed bead, seven 6mm round beads or pearls, and a bail or jump ring. (If making earrings, you will need twice as many round beads and seed beads, plus ear hooks instead of a bail). I used about 1.5 meters/yards of 6lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This design starts with the Russian Snake stitch, then adds lacy embellishments around the edge. This bracelet can be made as a single-strand (requiring a lobster clasp) or a double-strand, which uses a crystal and beeded loop as its clasp. This bracelet works with a variety of color combinations and finishes. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors) and 6x4mm (or 6x5mm) rondelle crystals. The single strand version also needs a lobster clasp. I used about 2.5 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make the single strand version (twice that for the double strand version).

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This is an earring design to match the Imperial Bracelet from my last post. Like the bracelet, I liked seed bead colors that contrast the crystal but are similar to each other for the different size seed beads (like light gold 11/0 and dark gold 6/0 seed beads). I also liked bright translucent colors for the crystals to sparkle and reflect light. This earring can be made in a shorter version (not pictured). Either the regular version (pictured) or shorter variation can be made without the 3x4mm rondelle crystals if you only have the 6x8mm rondelle crystals on hand. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For these earrings you will need 11/0 and 6/0 seed beads, two 6x8mm rondelle crystals, two 3x4mm rondelle crystals (optional), and jump rings to connect ear hooks. I used about 1 meter/yard of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make each earring.
