Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This bracelet is very easy to make and has two versions: one with 4mm crystal embellishments, and one without – the video tutorial and diagram explains both variations. In either version, using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the superduo (version 1) or crystal (version 2), and a contrasting color for the border. Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
To make this bracelet you will need superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads (two colors), and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. If making version 2 of the bracelet, you will also need around a dozen 4mm bicone crystals. I find it is best to pick one of the seed bead colors that match the superduo (if making version 1) or crystal (if making version 2). I also liked transparent superduos for version 1. I used about 2 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This bracelet is very easy to make, and works well with just one color, or multiple colors, or with any variety of finishes. There are two ways to incorporate two colors of superduos: one with a center vs border color (like the red/black or blue/gold examples), and one with alternating colors (like the white/aqua or silver/magenta examples) – the video tutorial explains both. Have fun experimenting with infinite color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
To make this bracelet you will need superduos (in one or more colors), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. I used about 3 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF with instructional diagrams for this design. The original inspiration for this pendant was a peacock feather, but the design lends itself to colors outside of that. Now that Spring is here, I wanted to share a design that explodes with color, and this is it! Be brave and have fun experimenting with wild color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this pendant, you will need these materials:
14mm Rivoli crystal (also known as Chaton crystal)
11/0 TOHO seed beads (or 11/0 Dynamite seed beads) in up to three colors
15/0 seed beads
superduos (two colors)
one 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead
Jump ring
Bail (or use a few larger jump rings as a bail)
Size 11 or 12 beading needle
2 meters of 6lb Fireline (or stringing material of your choice)
I used Rivoli crystals of varying quality – the cheaper ones (from Amazon.com) tend be thicker around the edge, but the pattern worked with both types. Below is a list of colors I used. (HL = Hobby Lobby, JWD = Jill Wiseman Designs, FMG = Fire Mountain Gems, AZ = Amazon.com, BB = Bobby Bead).

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design. Inspired by the shaping of my Snake Pendant, I applied some of the same techniques into making this wavy bracelet. You can make a single wave bracelet or attach a 2nd wave to braid into a double wave bracelet. I had fun experimenting with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This bracelet requires superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. If making the double-wave version, using two colors of superduos (one for each wave) gives a nice contrast. When making the double-wave version of this bracelet, make the first strand one curve longer than the desired bracelet length, as it will shrink a bit when the 2nd strand is braided in.

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Marquessa Bracelet and Marquessa Necklace from my previous posts. The arrangement of crystals here are reminiscent of a chandelier, dazzling with sparkle! 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 earrings). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.
Materials
For these earrings you will need superduos (18 of them), bicone crystals in two colors (14 of each) or one color (28), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks with jump rings.
