Free Beading Pattern: Ornate Cross Pendant

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! I love this pendant, and had fun experimenting with different colors. Although there are “front” color and “back” color superduos, you see both equally in the piece. I found I liked irridescent or multi-colored superduos the best on the front (anything with a varied shiny finish), with a solid supporting color on the back. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this pendant you will need two colors of superduos, 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), five 6/0 seed beads, and four 4mm crystals (bicone or round). You will also need a jump ring and a bail to connect the pendant to a cord or chain. I used 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to construct each pendant.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This necklace is constructed in a single row. Beaded beads with different colors on the front and back make this necklace reversible. I had fun experimenting with different colors and look forward to creating other designs that use this beaded bead in different ways. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads, two colors of superduos, two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads, 2 jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. I used 6 lb Fireline as my threading material, and a size 10 beading needle. Since the necklace requires 5 or 6 meters of thread, I needed to connect additional segments to finish the entire row. (I can comfortably use no more than 2 meters of thread at a time). This is shown in the video tutorial.
