FREE beading pattern for Sabela Necklace

August 26, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram download for this design! This is a dazzling necklace with bling, but still dainty and delicate. It is fairly quick and easy to make, and very fun to try with different color combinations. On the blue, white, and silver piece shown below, I added an extra back drop off the clasp just to add another variation idea (though instructions for that are not included in the video tutorial or PDF). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need twelve 6mm bicone crystals, twenty-six 4mm pearls or round beads, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, two lengths of chain (7 or 8 inches), four jump rings, and a clasp. (If you want to add a back drop like the blue/white/silver piece shown below, you will need a bit more chain, a few more crystals/pearls, and some wire to put the crystals/pearls on and bend end-loops to connect to the chain).

FREE beading pattern for Joslyn Bracelet

August 19, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This bracelet is designed to coordinate with the Joslyn Earrings and the Joslyn Necklace from my previous posts. The bracelet is about 7 inches long with the clasp (about 6 1/2 inches without), when made as shown with six diamond-shaped components. Adding a 7th diamond-shaped component will add another inch, if you want a longer bracelet. I like this design best when made with contrasting colors, to bring out the geometric lines. This bracelet easy to make, and fun to experiment with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need superduos, 4mm crystals (round or bicone), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. The first row should not be worked too tightly. It should be loose enough to lie in a straight line by itself, and just tight enough to not have any thread gaps. If it starts to zig-zag around the superduos, it is too tight.

FREE beading pattern for Joslyn Necklace

August 5, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! I love how this design incorporates the superduos as pops of color at the connection points, but in a totally different way than in the Nadine Necklace design from my previous post. The piece is woven with nearly the same number of crystals (or round beads), which makes for a symmetrical contrast of color. Using bright colors that contrast one another seems to work best with this design, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design you need 66 – 72 4mm crystals (bicone or round) or round beads, superduos, 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect a clasp with jump rings. Using 11/0 TOHO seed beads, a 16-inch necklace (with clasp) requires 66 crystals. With 11/0 Czech seed beads (slightly smaller than TOHO), a 16-inch necklace requires 72 crystals.
