FREE Beading Pattern for Chip Fringe Earrings

My apologies for erroneous e-mails sent from my website recently. I had been hacked.  I believe the problem is resolved, but there may be a few already-queued e-mails I couldn’t stop from going out before this post notification – kindly ignore those. On a more positive note, here is an earring design to coordinate with my previous Chip Fringe Necklace design.  This pattern also features beautiful bugle fringes with coraled ends, hanging off a superduo beaded chain connected into a small circle.  It was a bit tricky to convey this 3-D pattern in a 2-D diagram, but I tried my best – I hope it is clear enough to follow.  Below were the materials I used.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Laguna Earrings

Here is an earring pattern that coordinates nicely with the Laguna Necklace from my last post.  Same as the necklace, this pattern requires 11/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top of each earring for connecting a jump ring), Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of each earring.  The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece).  I found this design works wonderfully in a variety of color combinations.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Laguna Necklace

This is my latest design, featuring a diamond shaped pendant on an embellished Superduo chain.  The pattern requires 11/0 seed beads, Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of the pendant.  The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece).  I really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations in this design, and was especially happy with how well the light-aqua silver-lined seed beads complimented the black hematite Superduos.  I’ve tried black hematite with different colors in the past, but this is by far my favorite compliment to black hematite yet.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Wire Loop Cross

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!

FREE beading pattern for Alexia Bracelet

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!
