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)

FREE beading pattern for Joslyn Bracelet

August 19, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This bracelet is designed to coordinate with the Joslyn Earrings and the Joslyn Necklace from my previous posts. The bracelet is about 7 inches long with the clasp (about 6 1/2 inches without), when made as shown with six diamond-shaped components. Adding a 7th diamond-shaped component will add another inch, if you want a longer bracelet. I like this design best when made with contrasting colors, to bring out the geometric lines. This bracelet easy to make, and fun to experiment with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need superduos, 4mm crystals (round or bicone), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. The first row should not be worked too tightly. It should be loose enough to lie in a straight line by itself, and just tight enough to not have any thread gaps. If it starts to zig-zag around the superduos, it is too tight.

FREE Beading pattern for Marissa Pendant

July 15, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! This is a larger version of the Marissa Earring component from my last post, which makes a nice matching pendant for those earrings. The green and gold piece pictured below is a variation not included in the diagram or tutorial, but illustrates how the design’s shape can be altered. This is quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

The stunning pendant requires only sixteen 4mm bicone crystals and 11/0 TOHO seed beads, plus a bail or jump ring to attach the pendant to a chain, ribbon, or cord. I used a size 10/0 needle with 6lb Fireline for the construction.
