Here is an earring design to coordinate with the Christmas Cascade Necklace from my last post. The earrings above were made using metallic gold 11/0 TOHO seed beads and Czech fire-polished dipped decor round crystals (6mm emerald green, and 4mm garnet red). The blue and silver earrings below were also made with 11/0 TOHO seed beads (silver) and 4mm and 6mm round Czech crystals (blue and light blue). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this design! This is a new design, beaded up in festive Christmas colors with elements resembling Christmas tree garlands. In this piece, I used metallic gold (Permafinish) 11/0 TOHO seed beads and Czech fire-polished dipped decor round crystals (6mm emerald green, and 4mm in 3 colors: emerald green, garnet red, and opaque-to-translucent metallic gold). In the blue and silver piece, I used 4mm Czech round crystals in two colors instead of three (blue and light blue). The diagram illustrates how to make the necklace in 3 rows, including clasp. This design works best as a short necklace. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
The Christmas colored example is about 15 inches long, which required eighteen 6mm round green crystals, eighteen 4mm green crystals, nineteen 4mm gold crystals, and seventy-six 4mm red crystals. The blue and silver piece is about 16.5 inches long and is made connecting the clasp via jump rings instead of sewing the clasp into a loop. Being slightly longer than the Christmas necklace, the blue and silver piece required more round Czech crystals: twenty 6mm crystals, twenty 4mm blue crystals and 105 4mm light blue crystals. I plan to post another pattern for matching earrings soon.

This is a lovely pendant design, which features a crystal rivoli inside a 5-pointed floral frame. The pattern requires a 14mm crystal rivoli, 6mm pearls or bicone crystals, Superduo beads, 11/0 seed beads, and jewelry glue for the last step. I experimented with larger (TOHO) and smaller (Czech) 11/0 seed beads, and both seemed to work equally well. I included a step at the end to glue the the rivoli back to its beaded cage in the back, because I found that with some of the pieces I made, the rivoli could pop out if you twisted the component hard enough. I used E6000 clear glue for that step (same as pictured in the Materials photo in my DIY Sweater Clip post). I was able to string the pendant on a chain by inserting a jump ring through the middle of one of the sides of the finished piece. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This design is made entirely from Superduos and 11/0 seed beads. You can either use two colors to alternate the leaf drops, or a single color — both yield nice results. There is a variation included in the pattern that uses seed beads in place of the horizontal Superduo in each leaf drop (where the leaf drop cinches together). If using two colors, there are two different ways to alternate them, which is also shown in the pattern. The materials and variations I used in these pieces are listed below. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is an earring pattern to coordinate with the Sunburst Rivoli Pendant in my last post. Each component requires a 12mm rivoli, 2-hole triangle beads, 4mm bicone crystals, with 15/0 and 11/0 Miyuki seed beads. I tried this pattern with Czech 11/0 seed beads in the aqua/silver piece below, which did work, but the Miyuki’s were a bit more uniform and worked a bit better. The 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top allows you to loop a jump ring through so the component can be attached to an ear clip or hook, but this is optional if you prefer to glue a post to the back instead. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is my first experiment with 2-hole triangle beads, as well as my first design using a large (20mm) rivoli. This pattern only works with 11/0 Miyuki seed beads, and also requires 15/0 seed beads and 4mm crystals. I strung the pendant on 0.015in beading wire, making two loops through 6/0 seed beads to create a “bow” shape above the pendant. To match the strung part of the necklace with the pendant, I used 6mm crystals the same color as the 2-hole triangle beads. (Although the diagram only includes steps for making the pendant, you can examine the photos to determine stringing pattern for the rest of the necklace). The pendant can also be hung on a cord, chain, or ribbon instead, if desired. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This wire loop cross pendant and necklace is made as a single interconnected piece, and looks fabulous as a short necklace. It is made using bead stringing wire (0.015in, 0.38mm), crimp beads (6), 11/0 seed beads, 4mm and 6mm round beads, and 4 Superduo beads for the center of the cross. Instead of transcribing this pattern as a diagram, I decided to create more of a picture tutorial in hopes it would be easier to follow. This piece can be made fairly quickly, so I was able to make many of them to experiment with different color combinations. You can use crimping pliers to crimp the beads at steps 7, 8, and 11, but I found just pinching the crimps flat with needle-nose pliers worked just as well, and was easier to do. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Here is an earring design to coordinate with the Alexa Bracelet and Alexia Necklace from previous posts. But instead of arranging the components consecutively in a chain, I arranged them to hang off a beaded chain, overlapping each other, more like leaves off a stem. This gives them a bit more dangle and movement. Like the Alexia Bracelet and Necklace, these earrings are light-weight, and the twisted silver-lined bugle beads give it some sparkle and depth of color. Always use Fireline when working with bugle beads so as not to sever the thread. In the examples below, I used Dyna-Mite seed beads (from firemountaingems.com), and twisted Czech #3 bugle beads from Hobby Lobby. One of the photos shows how the pattern can be easily extended to create a longer earring. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This necklace coordinates nicely with the Alexia Bracelet from my last post. It requires the same beads (11/0 seed beads and Czech #3 bugle beads), but the 11/0 seed beads must be large enough so that their length is the same (or greater than) the width of the bugle bead. Like the Alexia Bracelet, this necklace is light-weight, and the twisted silver-lined bugle beads give it some sparkle and depth of color. Always use Fireline when working with bugle beads so as not to sever the thread. In the examples below, I used Dyna-Mite seed beads (from firemountaingems.com), and twisted Czech #3 bugle beads from Hobby Lobby. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

I really love how simple and light-weight this design is. The finished piece has plenty of “bling” from the sparkle of twisted bugle beads without being bulky. The only materials required to make this bracelet are 11/0 seed beads and Czech #3 (6.4mm) bugle beads, but the 11/0 seed beads must be large enough so that their length is equal (or greater) than the width of the bugle beads. For all of the examples below, I used Dyna-Mite seed beads (from firemountaingems.com), and twisted Czech #3 bugle beads from Hobby Lobby. As always, I recommend using Fireline when working with bugle beads so the thread does not break against sharp edges. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This design is a geometric V-shaped necklace using Czech #3 (6.4mm) bugle beads and 11/0 seed beads. It is pictured below with the Bugle Deco Earrings pattern from my previous post as the pendant, but really could be used with any pendant. As always, when working with bugle beads, I recommend using Fireline to keep the sharp edges of the bugle beads from severing the thread. When making the pendant for this necklace, I substituted the 6/0-8/0 bead at the top with a regular 11/0 seed bead, since no jump ring has to go through it to attach to the necklace. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

The geometric angles in this design give it an Art Deco feel from the Roaring Twenties. These earrings are fairly quick to make, and require round beads or crystals (4mm, 6mm, and 8mm), Czech #3 (6.4mm) bugle beads, 11/0 seed beads, plus an 8/0 or 6/0 bead at the top to put a jump ring through. This design works equally well with smaller Czech11/0 seed beads (like the orange/gold and aqua/silver examples) or larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the red/bronze and silver/clear examples). Using the larger TOHO beads result in a slightly more elongated shape. The last few photos show the pattern works equally well as a pendant to accompany the earrings. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
