In preparation for your Christmas gift making, I beaded up some of my previous designs in Christmas colors. Click on the photos below to navigate to my original posts listing materials and instructions. I hope these designs inspire your beading. Browse and enjoy these free beading patterns!
Each component requires nine superduos, four 6mm round beads, four 4mm (or 3mm) round beads or crystals, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. For earrings, 2 ear hooks are needed (no jump rings). For the bracelet, you can either directly stitch in a magnetic clasp (no jump rings), or use jump rings and traditional lobster clasp. The finished bracelet with clasp is about 7 inches long – an extender chain can be added to make it longer/adjustable.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This is a wider variation of the Superduo Ribbon Bracelet from my last post, and incorporates three superduo colors instead of two, but could be easily adapted to five colors. This simple bracelet design has clean lines and parallel slanted edges at either end to frame a magnetic ball clasp for the closure. Use an embellished clasp as the centerpiece! Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This bracelet requires three colors of superduos, 6/0 and 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and an 8mm magnetic ball clasp. The design can easily be adapted to five colors of superduos by using two different colors along one of the edges. No jump rings needed for this design, as the clasp is stitched directly into the piece. You can use any embellished clasp as long as it has closed loops to stitch through. I also used a size 10 beading needle with about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline for this bracelet.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the center crystal and either gold or silver for the borders. In most cases I chose crystals that matched the center Rivoli crystal, but the green example came out nicely with different but complementary colors. This component is versatile, and can be used as a pendant, earrings, or bracelet center. You can even connect multiple components together into a necklace or connect one or more components with multiple strands. Have fun experimenting with color and connection combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
Each component requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), 14mm Rivoli crystal, and twelve 3x4mm rondelle crystals, plus two 6/0 seed beads and jump rings to connect bail, ear hooks, or bracelet strands. I used about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 11 beading needle to make each component.
