FREE beading pattern for Sabela Necklace

August 26, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram download for this design! This is a dazzling necklace with bling, but still dainty and delicate. It is fairly quick and easy to make, and very fun to try with different color combinations. On the blue, white, and silver piece shown below, I added an extra back drop off the clasp just to add another variation idea (though instructions for that are not included in the video tutorial or PDF). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need twelve 6mm bicone crystals, twenty-six 4mm pearls or round beads, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, two lengths of chain (7 or 8 inches), four jump rings, and a clasp. (If you want to add a back drop like the blue/white/silver piece shown below, you will need a bit more chain, a few more crystals/pearls, and some wire to put the crystals/pearls on and bend end-loops to connect to the chain).

FREE beading pattern for Nadine Necklace

July 22, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this free pattern! I love the way this design alternates colors of curvy lines radiating from the center, resembling the sun’s corona. It is a variation on basic netting technique, but the superduos at the connection points allow the lines to curve instead of making sharp corners. This design seems to work best with two high-contrasting seed bead colors. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace, you need 6mm round beads, superduos, two colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads, 8/0 seed beads (matching one of the 11/0 TOHO seed bead colors), and jump rings to connect a clasp.

FREE beading pattern for Sunflower Pendant

June 3, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the free PDF download for this design! The part I like best about this design is the new technique I use to bezel the rivoli crystal in the center. The bezel part only requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (no 15/0 seed beads, like in my Georgiana or Evangeline Earrings), and is very easy and quick to make. (One of the photos below shows what the bezel looks like from the back, so you can see how securely it holds the crystal). Also, the bezel does not cover up too much of the rivoli crystal. I like this because it allows the beauty and depth of the crystal to reflect more light from the center. So I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design you will need a 14mm rivoli crystal, nine 6mm bicone crystals, nine 4mm bicone crystals, nine superduos, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. You will also need a bail or large jump ring to connect the pendant to a chain or cord.

FREE beading pattern: Wing Drop Necklace

FREE beading pattern for Wing Drop Necklace

March 15, 2021 / admin / 4 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial for this pattern! This is my latest necklace design, utilizing a modified netting technique.This design works with rondelle crystals of different sizes (as indicated in the diagram and video tutorial), but also works using all the same size 6mm crystals (bicone or round). Although I haven’t tried it yet, I imagine the pattern could be modified to use longer drop beads by omitting a few seed beads above each drop bead. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design, you will need 11/0 seed beads, three sizes of rondelle crystals (3x4mm, 4x6mm, and 6x8mm), superduos, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect a clasp via jump rings at either end. You can optionally substitute the rondelle crystals for all the same size 6mm crystals, as pictured in the black/blue piece below.
