Free Beading Pattern for Imperial Bracelet

November 14, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Experimenting with color, I liked seed bead colors that contrast the crystal but are similar to each other for the different size seed beads (like light gold in one size and dark gold in the other, for example). I also liked bright translucent colors for the crystals, for the way it reflects light. The construction is made in a single row to the desired length and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 and 6/0 seed beads and 6x8mm rondelle crystals, plus jump rings to connect clasp. I used about 1.5 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make this bracelet.

Free beading pattern for Nellie Bracelet

June 30, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! The technique used is similar to my Ellie Bracelet and Ellie Necklace from my previous posts, so I chose to name it “Nellie” – so essentially its name and design both rhyme with Ellie. As such, it coordinates nicely with my Ellie designs and Ornate Cross Pendant as well. This bracelet works with a variety of color combinations and finishes. The construction is made from two simple rows and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (Czech will likely also work, but I didn’t officially try it), two colors of superduos, two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads, 2 jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. I used about 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline as my threading material, and a size 10 beading needle.

Free Beading Pattern for Reversible Ellie Bracelet

June 7, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! I love this bracelet and had fun experimenting with different colors. It coordinates nicely with the Ellie Necklace from my previous post, as well as the Ornate Cross Pendant. 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 and shiny finish), with a solid supporting color on the back. Like the Ellie Necklace, this bracelet is constructed in a single row and is reversible. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), two colors of superduos, two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads, 2 jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. I used about 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline as my threading material, and a size 10 beading needle.

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.

Free Beading Pattern for Reversible Ellie Necklace

April 11, 2023 / admin / 2 Comments

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.
