Free beading pattern for Wave Bracelet (Single and Double)

January 20, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

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.

FREE beading pattern for Evelyn Necklace

April 12, 2022 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design. This is a simple but elegant necklace design that is versatile. The angle of the “V” is flexible enough to support a longer necklace with deeper “V” angle, or a shorter necklace with wider “V”. You can also change the length of the “V” to be shorter or longer or use cyrstals instead of round beads or pearls. I had fun experimenting with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace, you need 11/0 seed beads (any kind, Czech, TOHO, etc), superduos, and 6mm beads or crystals (15 – 23 of them, depending on how long you want to make the “V” section). I used 7mm beads for the blue/bronze piece below, and that also worked with this pattern. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end to connect the clasp with jump rings.

FREE beading pattern for Darlene Earrings

March 31, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Darlene Necklace from my last post and are quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For these earrings you will need 11/0 Czech seed beads, 14 superduos, two 4mm round beads or crystals, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to put jump rings through to attach the ear hooks at the top. I used the same materials as the Darlene Necklace, so you can reference that post for exact materials list.

FREE beading pattern for Darlene Necklace

March 22, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! This design took a good bit of trial and error to create. It also takes some patience to make but is well worth it. I actually made five of them (though only four are pictured here) – the one not shown was made with larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads, which I didn’t feel worked as well as the smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads I used in the four examples shown. This necklace is made in four rows, and I think looks best when the seed bead color doesn’t stand out, but rather blends or matches one of the superduo colors. I think the Marquessa Earrings would coordinate nicely with this. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need superduos in 2 colors (about 10g each for a 16-inch necklace), 4mm beads or crystals (about 125 for a 16-inch necklace), and 11/0 Czech seed beads. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to feed the jump rings through at the ends to attach a clasp. Here are the exact materials I used, for reference:

	Superduos	4mm Beads	Seed Beads
Red and Yellow	Lemon Yellow (from Jill Wiseman Designs), and Crystal Gold Rainbow from Hobby Lobby (may be discontinued)	4mm orange-red pearls from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 Czech matte gold seed beads from Hobby Lobby
Blue and Black	Jet Black from Hobby Lobby, and Tropical Blue Rapberry (from Jill Wiseman Designs)	4mm Preciosa Czech aquamarine AB bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 Iris Sphynx Czech seed beads (looks like Hematite) from Hobby Lobby
White and Light Blue	White Luster and Magic Blue Pink from Hobby Lobby	4mm Preciosa Czech clear AB bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 Czech crystal rainbow seed beads from Hobby Lobby
Teal and Dark Copper	Bronze Aluminum from Hobby Lobby, and Polychrome Dark Capri Blue (from Jill Wiseman Designs)	4mm teal pearls (from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 bronze Czech seed beads from Hobby Lobby

FREE beading pattern for Garland Bracelet

November 16, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! I love this new bracelet design, meant to coordinate with the Garland Earrings and Garland Necklace from my previous posts. It is perfect for the Holidays, but also gorgeous for other occasions. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

You only need two colors of superduos and 11/0 TOHO seed beads for this bracelet, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for jump rings to go through for the clasp. Each “component” of the bracelet is about 1/2 inch, so you can customize to your desired length.
