FREE beading pattern: Coral Superduo Earrings

Here is an earring design to coordinate with the Coral Superduo Earrings from my last post. It requires 11/0 seed beads (2 to 3 colors), and Superduo beads (1 – 2 colors, or a coordinating bead mix), plus a 6/0 or 8/0 bead to connect the ear hook via jump ring. The branches of the coraled strands (and each section of the spine) have one less seed bead than in the coraled strands of the necklace/pendant, in order to make this earring component slightly shorter (not too long).

Since these earrings are quicker to make than the necklace, I was able to experiment more with different colors and superduo bead mixes. The “organic” feel of this design lends itself well to designer superduo bead mixes in a family of colors and varying finishes (matte, gloss, textured, etc). I love how they turned out! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

FREE beading pattern: Coral Superduo Necklace

One more design for the holidays! I was curious how superduo beads would look on a “coraled” pendant, and I love how it turned out! They resemble tri-petal florets on the end of each coral branch, and look great with either two accent colors or one. This design requires only TOHO 11/0 seed beads (two to three colors) and superduo beads (one or two accent colors).

In the red/green piece, I used a base color of silver (Permafinish galvanized aluminum TOHO 11/0) with two accent colors of red and green (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors). In the purple/rose-gold piece I used a rose-gold base color with one accent color of purple (requiring purple seed and superduo beads). The last aqua/white piece was made with smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, but the thread showed a little more on the chain part of the necklace, so I feel TOHO seed beads work slightly better with this design. The aqua/white color scheme did not have a base color – instead I just alternated the 2 colors (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors).
