FREE beading pattern for Evangeline Earrings

February 25, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial with the printable PDF diagram! This is a variation on my Georgiana Earrings design, which works with any 4mm length crystal (round or bicone). This can easily be turned into a pendant using the custom beaded bail from my last post. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Each earring (or pendant) requires a 14mm rivoli crystal, fourteen 4mm crystals (round or bicone) of the same or complementary color, five superduos, 11/0 TOHO and 15/0 seed beads, as well as one 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead for a jump ring to go through to connect the earhook at the top.

FREE beading pattern for Custom Beaded Bail

February 9, 2021 / admin / 2 Comments

Turn an earring into a pendant with this custom beaded bail! (Video tutorial is included with PDF diagram). I thought the Georgiana Earring from my last post would make a lovely pendant, but the bails I had on hand did not seem to match the color or style very well, so I decided to make one. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

About the design…

By incorporating some of the same materials, I could guarantee the color and style matched. I wanted something with a large enough diameter to fit over any type of strand: a chain, a ribbon, a 4mm cord (shown), or even a string of the same 4mm round beads. I was happy with the result. This bail could probably be customized to convert nearly any earring made with 4mm pearls or crystals into a pendant.

Materials

This bail requires a finished beaded earring component that is made with 4mm round beads or crystals (like the Georgiana Earring from my last post), three of the same 4mm round beads or crystals that match the component, and matching 11/0 TOHO seed beads.

FREE beading pattern: Georgiana Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Georgiana Earrings

February 1, 2021 / admin / 9 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF instructions for this design! This is my newest earring design, which bezels a 14mm rivoli crystal and frames it with 4mm round beads and seed beads. I love how using a slightly darker gold (or silver) for the 4mm beads gave this piece a “old world” feel, and made the crystal color pop. The way the superduo beads are incorporated into the frame gives it a lovely tear-drop shape. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Each earring requires a 14mm rivoli crystal, 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads of the same color, fourteen 4mm round beads, five superduo beads, and one 8/0 or 6/0 seed bead to connect an earhook via jump ring at the top. (Materials are also listed in the diagram image and PDF below).

FREE beading pattern for Olivia Bracelet

January 25, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF instructions for this design! The original inspiration for this design was some large 1-inch to 1.25-inch flat beads I had on hand (having same front and back), which I thought would make a great center piece for a bracelet. Color combinations are fun to experiment with in this design — you can use all the same color 11/0 seed beads, or pick 3 (one color same as the 15/0, one color matching the superduos, and one accent color), like the pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern and tutorial!

Materials

This pattern requires a large center bead (about 1-inch long and flat), superduos, 15/0 seed beads, 11/0 seed beads (3 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end for jump rings to go through to attach the clasp. (Materials are also listed in the pattern PDF/image itself).

FREE beading pattern for Sarina Necklace

January 15, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Similar to my “Rondelle Radiance” challenge, this design was inspired by a single package of round beads on sale at Michael’s, which included four sizes (4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm).

I wanted to design a necklace using all four sizes of the round beads, and this “Sarina Necklace” is the result. The finished necklace is about 19 inches long (including clasp), but can be made longer by making the “chain” section longer than 5 inches at both ends. The pattern also requires 2 colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads (one color matching the round beads, plus an accent color), as well as two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect a clasp at both ends via jump rings. This is a 2-page pattern, and materials are listed on the 2nd page.
