The only materials required for this bracelet are 11/0 seed beads, small or medium drilled chips, and a lobster claw clasp. I found it is good to use 2 colors of seed beads, one for the main bracelet netting, and one that is the same color as the chips (or clear). In the green gold piece, I had a smaller lobster claw clasp, so I adjusted the pattern slightly to make the other end with a 6/0 bead in the middle to put a jump ring through for the lobster claw clasp to connect to. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

My apologies for erroneous e-mails sent from my website recently. I had been hacked. I believe the problem is resolved, but there may be a few already-queued e-mails I couldn’t stop from going out before this post notification – kindly ignore those. On a more positive note, here is an earring design to coordinate with my previous Chip Fringe Necklace design. This pattern also features beautiful bugle fringes with coraled ends, hanging off a superduo beaded chain connected into a small circle. It was a bit tricky to convey this 3-D pattern in a 2-D diagram, but I tried my best – I hope it is clear enough to follow. Below were the materials I used. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Bugles

This is my latest design: a V-shape necklace featuring beautiful bugle fringes with coraled ends, hanging off a superduo beaded chain. The use of natural stone drilled chips (or any drilled chips with some color variation) gives an organic feel to this necklace. It was fun to experiment with different color combinations, and I love how all of them turned out! The pattern requires twin or superduo beads, 11/0 seed beads (1 or 2 colors), bugle beads (any size), and small to medium drilled chips. The last photo with the blue lapis chips shows a variation where I added half the fringe (alternating from every other twin bead instead of every twin bead) with 4 – 5 chips in the coral end instead of 2. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Here is an earring pattern that coordinates nicely with the Laguna Necklace from my last post. Same as the necklace, this pattern requires 11/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top of each earring for connecting a jump ring), Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of each earring. The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece). I found this design works wonderfully in a variety of color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my latest design, featuring a diamond shaped pendant on an embellished Superduo chain. The pattern requires 11/0 seed beads, Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of the pendant. The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece). I really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations in this design, and was especially happy with how well the light-aqua silver-lined seed beads complimented the black hematite Superduos. I’ve tried black hematite with different colors in the past, but this is by far my favorite compliment to black hematite yet. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
