Free beading pattern for patriotic Betsy Earrings

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram download for this design! I love this earring design, simple and quick to make. These earrings coordinate with the Betsy Bracelet from my previous post. It has different looks based on color choice: The red, white, and blue gives a patriotic “Captain America” vibe, and floral colors resemble spring flowers. The center component looks more like a star if you use the same (white) color (at steps 1-2 in the diagram), and more like flowers if you use different colors. I loved both color schemes. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Betsy Bracelet, you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), superduos (2 colors), 4mm round beads (2 colors), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hook or clip with jump rings. I used a total of about 1.5 meters (yards) of 6-lb FireLine for both earrings, and a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram download for this design! I love this cuff bracelet design, that can have different looks based on color choice. Use red, white, and blue to get a “Stars and Stripes” look; use floral colors to look like spring flowers. The center components look more like stars if you use the same (white) color (at steps 1, 2, and 8 in the diagram), and more like flowers if you use different colors. I loved both color schemes. The bracelet is made in 5 rows (though the 5th row is optional). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), superduos (2 colors), 4mm round beads (2 colors), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end to connect the clasp with jump rings. For a 7-inch bracelet (including clasp), you will need to make 8 flower/star components in the first row, requiring eight 4mm beads for the component center, and 62 4mm beads surrounding the components. I used a size 10 beading needle with about 4 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline. I’m only comfortable working with a maximum of 2 meters/yards of thread at a time, so I used that amount, then connected another segment of Fireline halfway through using a lighter (shown in the video).

Free beading pattern for 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

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
