Free beading pattern for Nellie Bracelet

Free beading pattern: Nellie Bracelet
Free beading pattern: Nellie Bracelet

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! The technique used is similar to my Ellie Bracelet and Ellie Necklace from my previous posts, so I chose to name it “Nellie” – so essentially its name and design both rhyme with Ellie. As such, it coordinates nicely with my Ellie designs and Ornate Cross Pendant as well. This bracelet works with a variety of color combinations and finishes. The construction is made from two simple rows and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (Czech will likely also work, but I didn’t officially try it), two colors of superduos, two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads, 2 jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. I used about 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline as my threading material, and a size 10 beading needle.

Free Beading Pattern for Peacock Feather Pendant

Free beading pattern: Peacock Feather Pendant
Free beading pattern: Peacock Feather Pendant

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF with instructional diagrams for this design. The original inspiration for this pendant was a peacock feather, but the design lends itself to colors outside of that. Now that Spring is here, I wanted to share a design that explodes with color, and this is it! Be brave and have fun experimenting with wild color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this pendant, you will need these materials:

  • 14mm Rivoli crystal (also known as Chaton crystal)
  • 11/0 TOHO seed beads (or 11/0 Dynamite seed beads) in up to three colors
  • 15/0 seed beads
  • superduos (two colors)
  • one 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead
  • Jump ring
  • Bail (or use a few larger jump rings as a bail)
  • Size 11 or 12 beading needle
  • 2 meters of 6lb Fireline (or stringing material of your choice)

I used Rivoli crystals of varying quality – the cheaper ones (from Amazon.com) tend be thicker around the edge, but the pattern worked with both types. Below is a list of colors I used. (HL = Hobby Lobby, JWD = Jill Wiseman Designs, FMG = Fire Mountain Gems, AZ = Amazon.com, BB = Bobby Bead).

Free beading pattern for Wave Bracelet (Single and Double)

FREE beading pattern: Wave Bracelet
FREE beading pattern: Wave Bracelet

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design. Inspired by the shaping of my Snake Pendant, I applied some of the same techniques into making this wavy bracelet. You can make a single wave bracelet or attach a 2nd wave to braid into a double wave bracelet. I had fun experimenting with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

This bracelet requires superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. If making the double-wave version, using two colors of superduos (one for each wave) gives a nice contrast. When making the double-wave version of this bracelet, make the first strand one curve longer than the desired bracelet length, as it will shrink a bit when the 2nd strand is braided in.

Free beading pattern for Snake Pendant

FREE beading pattern: Snake Pendant
FREE beading pattern: Snake Pendant

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF instructional diagram for this Snake Pendant design. After playing around with different methods to stitch curves with superduos and seed beads, I developed this cute pattern for a Snake Pendant. It has a beaded loop in the back as a hidden bail, so no jump rings are needed. I liked how superduos with a varied finish (like Picasso or Chalk) looked the best. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

This pendant only requires sixteen superduo beads and 11/0 TOHO seed beads (two seed beads in a different color for the eyes – I used red). Photos below of the green snake pendant show how the back of the pendant has a beaded loop to act as a hidden bail. There’s no need for jump rings or bail findings for this pendant, just the cord or chain it will hang on.

Free beading pattern for Reversible Ophelia Pendant

FREE Beading Pattern: Ophelia Pendant
FREE Beading Pattern: Ophelia Pendant

Enjoy a video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructions for this design! Using a new way to cage 8x10mm rondelle crystals, I designed this pendant to coordinate with the Ophelia Earrings from my last post. I especially like transparent colors for the rondelle crystals with this design, as light reflecting through them adds depth when it shines through the open areas of each beaded cage. The best part is this pendant is REVERSIBLE. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

This pendant requires six 8x10mm rondelle crystals (preferably transparent), 11/0 TOHO round seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads. A jump ring connects the pendant to a bail to hang it on a chain, cord, or ribbon. In two of the pendants, I made a simple bail out of 2 or 3 larger jump rings. I used a size 10 beading needle, and about 3 meters of 6-lb Fireline to construct the pendant.

The seed beads I used were 11/0 TOHO round PermaFinish opaque galvanized aluminum, and opaque bronze. (These are among my favorite seed beads to use because they don’t tarnish). All of the 8x10mm rondelle crystals came from Michael’s, in their strung rondelle crystal sets (8x10mm being the largest size). The sets are pictured below. I’ve used these in many other designs including Brielle Earrings, Lillian Earrings, Arabella Earrings, Arabella Pendant, Wing Drop Bracelet, Wing Drop Necklace, Wing Drop Earrings, Rondelle Radiance Earrings, Rondelle Radiance Necklace, and Rondelle Radiance Bracelet… There are plenty of projects to use up the rest of the rondelle crystals in the set!
