FREE beading pattern: Superduo Bud Earrings

Enjoy a video tutorial with the free PDF download of this design! These unique earrings are designed to coordinate with the Superduo Buds Necklace from my previous post. The “bud” motif is featured in the center, with a nice kite-shaped frame around it. You can use either TOHO seed beads (like the image above) or Czech seed beads (like the green/copper version below). This design is very simple and quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), superduo beads in 2 colors, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks or clips through jump rings.

Enjoy a video tutorial with this earring design’s PDF diagram! I’m at it again – developing another design using different size rondelle crystals that I got from Michael’s. The Arabella Earring design from my previous post was more of an oval shape, where these are more of a diamond shape. The possibilities seem endless! These crystals are a constant inspiration to me for new designs. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads (one or two colors), three sizes of rondelle crystals (four 8×10 mm, eight 4x6mm, and four 3x4mm), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks (or clips or posts) through jump rings. I have mentioned this in previous posts, but for TOHO seed beads, I tend to like metallic colors (gold, silver, bronze, etc). They make my pieces feel more like classic jewelry to me. Because I don’t like my pieces to tarnish over time, I almost always use PermaFinish TOHO seed beads.
