In preparation for your Christmas gift making, I beaded up some of my previous designs in Christmas colors. Click on the photos below to navigate to my original posts listing materials and instructions. I hope these designs inspire your beading. Browse and enjoy these free beading patterns!
Each component requires nine superduos, four 6mm round beads, four 4mm (or 3mm) round beads or crystals, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. For earrings, 2 ear hooks are needed (no jump rings). For the bracelet, you can either directly stitch in a magnetic clasp (no jump rings), or use jump rings and traditional lobster clasp. The finished bracelet with clasp is about 7 inches long – an extender chain can be added to make it longer/adjustable.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the center crystal and either gold or silver for the borders. In most cases I chose crystals that matched the center Rivoli crystal, but the green example came out nicely with different but complementary colors. This component is versatile, and can be used as a pendant, earrings, or bracelet center. You can even connect multiple components together into a necklace or connect one or more components with multiple strands. Have fun experimenting with color and connection combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
Each component requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), 14mm Rivoli crystal, and twelve 3x4mm rondelle crystals, plus two 6/0 seed beads and jump rings to connect bail, ear hooks, or bracelet strands. I used about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 11 beading needle to make each component.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This component can work as a pendant or earring and is fairly quick and easy to make. Alternatively, you can make just the bottom part of the component for a shorter pendant or earring (not pictured). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this pendant, you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads, one 6/0 TOHO seed bead, seven 6mm round beads or pearls, and a bail or jump ring. (If making earrings, you will need twice as many round beads and seed beads, plus ear hooks instead of a bail). I used about 1.5 meters/yards of 6lb Fireline with 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.
