FREE beading pattern: Marquessa Necklace

FREE beading pattern for Marquessa Necklace

February 3, 2022 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this necklace! I love this new design, simple but dazzling. The adjacent superduos along the top resemble a rope, giving a nice clean line for the crystals to hang from. The piece is made in a single row to your desired length. The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold piece). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

Materials

This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos, 4mm crystals (1 or 2 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to put jump rings through for the clasp. To make a 16-inch necklace, you will need about 53 crystals of each color (or 106 of one color). To make a longer necklace, you will need about 3 more crystals in each color (or 6 more of one color) per inch.

FREE beading pattern: Pretty Hearts Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Pretty Hearts Earrings

January 27, 2022 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new earring design coordinates with the Pretty Hearts Bracelet and Pretty Hearts Necklace from my previous posts and is made entirely with seed beads. Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Because this framed heart is made of only seed beads, it is very light weight and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the inner heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!

Materials

You need 11/0 round seed beads in two colors for this necklace, TOHO or Czech, as long as both colors are the same type. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the ear hooks or clips.

The red/silver earrings and the gold/grey earrings below were made with the slightly larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads, and the pink/white earrings were made with smaller Czech seed beads (resulting in a slightly smaller earring).

FREE beading pattern: Pretty Hearts Necklace

FREE beading pattern for Pretty Hearts Necklace

January 20, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new necklace design coordinates with the Pretty Hearts Bracelet from my last post and is made entirely with seed beads. Perfect for Valentine’s Day! One feature I like about this design is that each inner heart is subtly outlined by an outer heart that interlinks with the next outer heart, but also touches the next inner heart. Because it is made of only seed beads, it is light weight, thin, and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the inner heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!

Materials

For length, the best rule of thumb is to continue the first row to the desired length, then add one more component after that. In other words, make it 3/4″ longer than your desired length in the first row. This is because the 2nd row will shrink the length a bit. In the samples shown below, the white hearts framed in pink were made with smaller Czech beads, where 30 hearts in the first row made about a 17-inch necklace (with clasp). Simply add hearts if you want to make it longer (each heart adds just under 3/4-inch). The gold hearts framed in grey, and the red hearts framed in silver were made with TOHO (larger) seed beads. With TOHO seed beads, 27 hearts made about a 17-inch necklace. Each heart you add will add about 3/4 inch to the necklace.

Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new bracelet is one of my favorite seed-bead-only designs, and I’m posting it in time to make for Valentine’s Day! Because it is made of only seed beads, it is light weight, thin, and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations, and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!

Materials

You need 11/0 round seed beads in two colors for this bracelet, TOHO or Czech, as long as both colors are the same type. You will also need two 6/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the clasp.

In the samples shown below, the silver hearts framed with red, and the white hearts framed in pink were made with smaller Czech beads, where 11 hearts in the first row makes about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Simply add hearts to make it longer (each heart adds about 1/2-inch). The gold hearts framed in grey, and the red hearts framed in silver were made with TOHO (larger) seed beads. With TOHO seed beads, 10 hearts in the first row made about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Each heart you add will add slightly more than 1/2″ to the bracelet.

December 1, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this design! These Christmas Tree earrings are perfect for the holidays, and make great gifts as well. They are adapted from my previously posted Garland Earrings to have a more Christmas tree shape. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For these earrings you need superduos, four 4mm crystals, and two 6mm crystals (round or bicone). You will also need 11/0 seed beads plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the ear hooks or clips. The 4mm crystals are for the top and middle of the trees, and can be the same or different colors. The 6mm crystals are for the bottom (stump) of the trees.
