FREE beading pattern: Marquessa Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Marquessa Earrings

February 17, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Marquessa Bracelet and Marquessa Necklace from my previous posts. The arrangement of crystals here are reminiscent of a chandelier, dazzling with sparkle! The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold earrings). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

Materials

For these earrings you will need superduos (18 of them), bicone crystals in two colors (14 of each) or one color (28), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks with jump rings.

FREE beading pattern: Marquessa Bracelet

FREE beading pattern for Marquessa Bracelet

February 10, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! This bracelet coordinates nicely with the Marquessa Necklace from my last post. The adjacent superduos along the sides resemble ropes, giving a nice clean outline alongside the adjacent crystals. The piece is made in 3 rows: going down one side, up the other side, then zipping the two sides together in the middle in a zig-zag pattern. The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold piece). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

Materials

This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos, 4mm crystals (1 or 2 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to put jump rings through for the clasp. To make a 7-inch bracelet (not including clasp), you will need about 23 crystals of each color (or 46 of one color). Each pair of crystals adds about 1/3-inch, if you want to make the bracelet longer (or shorter).

FREE beading pattern: Marquessa Necklace

FREE beading pattern for Marquessa Necklace

February 3, 2022 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this necklace! I love this new design, simple but dazzling. The adjacent superduos along the top resemble a rope, giving a nice clean line for the crystals to hang from. The piece is made in a single row to your desired length. The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold piece). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

Materials

This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos, 4mm crystals (1 or 2 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to put jump rings through for the clasp. To make a 16-inch necklace, you will need about 53 crystals of each color (or 106 of one color). To make a longer necklace, you will need about 3 more crystals in each color (or 6 more of one color) per inch.

FREE beading pattern for Brianna Earrings

October 4, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This is an earring designed to coordinate with the Brianna Bracelet and Brianna Necklace from my previous posts. Only seed and bugle beads are needed, and they are very quick and easy to make. Like the Brianna Bracelet and Necklace, this design looks great with classic jewelry colors (gold, silver, etc.), with bugles that pop against that (bright color, reflective). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads and bugle beads, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. The bugles can be 7mm long (as shown in blue/silver and pink/hematite examples) or 12mm long, like the red/gold example. Technically you can use any size bugle 7mm or longer, as long as you use the same size for both earrings. When using metallic seed beads, I prefer Permafinish TOHO seed beads, which do not tarnish over time.

FREE beading pattern for Halloween Spider Pendant

September 27, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this pendant! This is my first ever Halloween-themed design, and I am happy with the result. I wanted to create a piece for Halloween, but something that still looked like elegant jewelry. My design started with an oval bezel pattern that was the base for my Netted Bezel, Victorian Pendant, and Enchanted Tree necklace designs, and ended with a spider on top. For further inspiration, you can review those previous designs for different ideas on how you might further embellish this pendant, or incorporate it into a beaded necklace. I added my Custom Beaded Bail to the purple Spider Pendant below, to show another option. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this pendant, you will need a 25x18mm Cabochon (flat-back). I ordered both acrylic and resin ones online at Fire Mountain Gems several years ago. Their selection has changed a bit since then, but they still have a pretty good selection of affordable 25x18mm resin and acrylic Cabochons. You will also need

Two rondelle crystals (one 4x6mm and one 6x8mm) for the spider body
15/0 seed beads
11/0 TOHO seed beads (one color the same as the 15/0 seed beads, and another color matching the spider body). I think other 11/0 seed beads (smaller than TOHO) could possibly also work, but I haven’t officially tried that.
Twelve 4mm crystals (bicone or round)
