FREE beading pattern for Nadine Necklace

July 22, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this free pattern! I love the way this design alternates colors of curvy lines radiating from the center, resembling the sun’s corona. It is a variation on basic netting technique, but the superduos at the connection points allow the lines to curve instead of making sharp corners. This design seems to work best with two high-contrasting seed bead colors. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace, you need 6mm round beads, superduos, two colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads, 8/0 seed beads (matching one of the 11/0 TOHO seed bead colors), and jump rings to connect a clasp.

FREE Beading pattern for Marissa Pendant

July 15, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! This is a larger version of the Marissa Earring component from my last post, which makes a nice matching pendant for those earrings. The green and gold piece pictured below is a variation not included in the diagram or tutorial, but illustrates how the design’s shape can be altered. This is quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

The stunning pendant requires only sixteen 4mm bicone crystals and 11/0 TOHO seed beads, plus a bail or jump ring to attach the pendant to a chain, ribbon, or cord. I used a size 10/0 needle with 6lb Fireline for the construction.

FREE beading pattern: Shield Maiden Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Shield Maiden Earrings

June 10, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial with the PDF diagram of this design! The title of this design is an homage to one of my favorite book series, Lord of The Rings. One of my favorite characters in Lord of The Rings is Éowyn, niece of King Théoden and shieldmaiden of Rohan. These earrings are quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos (in two colors, 14 of inner color, and 28 of the outer color), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks/clips via jump rings. The aqua/white shows a variation in the pattern, requiring 12 top color and 30 bottom color superduos. After trying several color combinations, I think I liked coordinating the inner color and seed beads to be the same color, letting the outer color superduos be the accent.

FREE beading pattern for Sunflower Pendant

June 3, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the free PDF download for this design! The part I like best about this design is the new technique I use to bezel the rivoli crystal in the center. The bezel part only requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (no 15/0 seed beads, like in my Georgiana or Evangeline Earrings), and is very easy and quick to make. (One of the photos below shows what the bezel looks like from the back, so you can see how securely it holds the crystal). Also, the bezel does not cover up too much of the rivoli crystal. I like this because it allows the beauty and depth of the crystal to reflect more light from the center. So I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design you will need a 14mm rivoli crystal, nine 6mm bicone crystals, nine 4mm bicone crystals, nine superduos, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. You will also need a bail or large jump ring to connect the pendant to a chain or cord.
