FREE beading pattern for St. Petersburg Fringe necklace and earrings

March 25, 2015 / / 2 Comments

This necklace and earring set employs the popular St. Petersburg stitch, with bugle beads added to create the “fringe” or “feather” look.  This pattern demonstrates both the single St. Petersburg stitch (for the necklace), as well as the double St. Petersburg stitch (for the earrings) made with bugle beads.  You can experiment with using larger beads for the “spine” beads, or shorter/longer bugles, or even different combinations of beads instead of bugles.  There are many possible variations you can play with, which makes this a fun pattern.  This piece was made with matte bronze and matte rainbow teal 11/0 seed beads with rainbow green Czech #3 (6.4mm) bugle beads.  Enjoy!

FREE beading pattern for Twin Crystal Earrings

March 23, 2015 / / 2 Comments

This is an easy pattern for earrings that coordinate with the “Twin Rivoli” pattern from my previous post.  Each is made with black and gold-lined 11/0 seed beads, 4mm champagne bicone crystals, black drop bead(s) and a 6/0 gold bead at the top to hold a jump ring.  This is a very easy pattern, ideal for a beginner.

FREE beading pattern for necklace Twin Rivoli

This is a great pattern for framing a 14mm crystal rivoli in a twin bead bezel.  Although I’ve seen photos of similar Superduo bead bezels, I hadn’t come across any patterns for them, so I decided to create one.  (I included a photo of what the back looks like, just for reference).  The strand part of the necklace is also something I haven’t seen done with twin beads, but I like how narrow the strand is and how it brings in elements from the bezel.  I liked this design so much I made a variation with 3 purple rivolis with lovely results.  This piece was made with gold-lined 15/0 beads, black and gold-lined 11/0 seed beads, matte gold twin beads, 4mm champagne bicone crystals, a black drop bead, and a Swarovski 14mm “golden shadow” crystal rivoli.  My next post will include matching earrings.

FREE beading pattern for necklace Zipper Lace

March 11, 2015 / / 2 Comments

This design was inspired by a photo of the “Boggle Bangles” bracelet by Deborah Roberti, at http://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Patterns/Bobble.html.  This version of the design uses different crystal sizes to curve the motif to form a necklace, which I think resembles an embellished zipper (hence the title of this post).  This piece was made with 3mm silver round crystals, 4mm and 6mm teal round crystals, and 11/0 antique gold seed beads.

FREE beading pattern for necklace Butterfly Lace

For my first post in March (looking forward to Spring), I created a lacy butterfly pattern using netting techniques made entirely of 11/0 seed beads.  The butterflies in this pattern are easier to see when adjacent butterfly components alternate colors, so I made this one with all colors of the rainbow.  The blue version is nice too, but you see more the circles between butterflies when woven with only one color.  Enjoy!
