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!

Free Beading Pattern: Ophelia Earrings

Enjoy a video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructions for this design! It’s been a while since my last post, but I think this design is worth the wait. After much trial and error, I invented a new way to cage 8x10mm rondelle crystals, and this became the main inspiration behind this design. 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. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require six 8x10mm rondelle crystals (preferably transparent), 11/0 TOHO round seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to feed the jump rings through to attach the ear hooks or clips. I use a size 10 beading needle, and about 1.5 meters of 6-lb Fireline per earring.

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 look like this:

Free beading pattern for Geneva Earrings

FREE beading pattern: Geneva Earrings
FREE beading pattern: Geneva Earrings

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF download for this design. These earrings are designed to coordinate with the Geneva Bracelet from my last post. I love the way this design has a visually interesting “swirl” to it. This design is versatile in that you can use any 11/0 round seed bead (Czech or TOHO), any 4mm bead (round, bicone, crystal, or pearl), and the component can make a nice pendant as well. The end of the video tutorial shows how you can connect this component to two longer Geneva Bracelet components to make a necklace (pictured below and modelled in the end of the short demo video below). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Geneva Bracelet, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need sixteen 4mm beads (8 per earring). I use about 2 feet of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for each earring. The white/gold piece was made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. See my previous post for the Geneva Bracelet for a complete list of materials used in the pieces pictured below.

Free beading pattern for Geneva Bracelet

Free Beading Pattern: Geneva Bracelet
Free Beading Pattern: Geneva Bracelet

Enjoy a free step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! I loved this bracelet so much I couldn’t stop making it. Experimenting with different color combinations was fun, especially since this bracelet is so quick and easy to make. My favorite ended up being the one I thought I would like the least, which is the piece shown above (made with multi-colored stone-like colors and bronze seed beads). This bracelet is versatile in that you can use any round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), and any 4mm bead (crystals, round, bicone, etc) with your superduos. This bracelet also works very well as a wrap bracelet if you double or triple the length. (I doubled it in the example above). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

As mentioned above, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need about 28 4mm beads to make a 6.5-inch bracelet (7 inches when you include the clasp), or more if you want it longer. I use about 1 yard or meter of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for a single-strand bracelet. The white/gold piece, and the multi-colored piece were made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. Here is a complete list of materials used in the bracelets shown here:

Superduos 4mm Beads Seed Beads
Multi-colored Raku Mix from Hobby Lobby Dyed Magnesite 4mm round (from Fire Mountain Gems) Opaque Bronze 11/0 TOHO (from Fire Mountain Gems)
Pink/White Chalk Lilac Luster from Hobby Lobby Strung off-white glass pearls from Hobby Lobby White Shell 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby
White/Gold Opaque White Luster from Hobby Lobby Preciosa Czech crystal aurum 2X bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems) Galvanized Starlight (gold) 11/0 TOHO PermaFinish (from Fire Mountain Gems)
White and Light Blue Magic Blue Pink from Hobby Lobby Aurora Borealis Faceted Glass Round Beads (from Michael’s) White Ceylon 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby
Teal/Silver Pastel Emerald from Hobby Lobby Green Blue Iris Czech Fire-polished round crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems) Silver 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby
Mint/White Pastel Light Azure from Hobby Lobby Transparent clear AB bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems) White Shell 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby

Free beading pattern for Bonnie Earrings

FREE beading pattern: Bonnie Earrings
FREE beading pattern: Bonnie Earrings

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to go with the free PDF diagram download for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Bonnie Bracelet in my previous post. The pieces with alternating superduo colors give interest and depth, but the single-color ones have a nice classic clean look – I like both! You can use any 6mm bead or crystal with this pattern, which makes it versatile. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Bonnie Bracelet, you will need 11/0 TOHO and 15/0 seed beads, one or two colors of superduos, and six 6mm beads or crystals. The 6mm beads can be round beads, pearls, round crystals, or bicone crystals. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the earhook or clip with jump rings.
