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.

For these earrings you need superduos, four 4mm crystals, and two 6mm crystals (round or bicone). You will also need 11/0 seed beads plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the ear hooks or clips. The 4mm crystals are for the top and middle of the trees, and can be the same or different colors. The 6mm crystals are for the bottom (stump) of the trees.

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! I absolutely love how this necklace turned out. This design took a while to work out the right spacing for everything, but the result is gorgeous… and one of my favorites. And now I’m sharing it with you all for free!

Materials

For this Necklace, you will need superduos (in two colors), 11/0 and 8/0 TOHO seed beads, 4mm and 6mm crystals (round or bicone), and a clasp to connect with jump rings.

These are the colors used in the examples below:
