FREE Beading Pattern for Rondelle Cross

This pendant pattern requires five 6x8mm rondelle crystals, 11/0 seed beads, and a bail or jump ring. You can use either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/silver pieces) or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the black hematite pieces), but there is a slight difference noted in the pattern for each (in blue text, at steps 3 and 5). I used 6 lb Fireline, which seemed to work well to sufficiently “stiffen” the piece at the last step. There is also an “Earring Variation” included in the pattern that instructs how to modify the pattern to make a smaller version of the piece using 5x6mm rondelle crystals instead (still with 11/0 seed beads). An example of the earrings is shown with the light blue piece below. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

For all pieces, I used faceted rondelle crystals from Michael’s. For the gold and silver pieces, I used Galvanized Permafinish TOHO 11/0 seed beads (aluminum and starlight) from Firemountain Gems. I like using these because they don’t tarnish over time. (A sample of the earring variation is shown in the light blue and silver piece below). For the black pieces, I used smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads.

    Thank you for the free pattern. I now have a way to use up small amounts of several colors of rondelles. Look forward to making them.
