FREE beading pattern for Superduo Buds necklace

FREE beading pattern: Superduo Buds

Scroll down for new video tutorial added for this design! Since my interests have gravitated toward Superduo beads lately, I experimented with another way to use them in a necklace design.  This pattern requires 2 colors of 11/0 seed beads and 2 – 3 colors of Superduo beads.  I tried the design with smaller 11/0 Czech beads and larger TOHO 11/0 beads, and both yielded nice results.  The smaller 11/0 beads resulted in more “V” shapes in the 2nd row of buds (seen in the gold & copper, and pink & white pieces), while the larger TOHO 11/0 beads resulted in more “U” shapes in the 2nd row, shown in the black and copper example.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Lotus Lace Pendant

I was so happy with how the center component looked in my Lotus Lace Bracelet design from my last post, I decided to make it into a pendant. The pendant can be connected via jump ring to a chain or ribbon (as shown in my Diamond Rivoli post), or strung on a beaded wire finished with crimp beads and clasps as shown below.  (The pattern used for the beaded wire portion of the necklace can be found in my previous Rivoli Pendant post).  As another alternative, I created an extended version of the Lotus Lace Bracelet pattern to form a necklace to attach the pendant to (shown in the gold and copper piece below).  The left and right strands of the necklace were made by doing steps [1 – 22], [10 – 12], [2 – 22], [10 – 12], and [2 – 22] of the Lotus Lace Bracelet pattern, creating three main segments in each strand.  As with the earrings and the bracelet, this pendant pattern works equally well with either smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, or with larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads, and can work with either Superduo or twin beads (although Superduos work a little better I think).

FREE beading pattern for Royal Lace Earrings

Here is a pattern for earrings that match the Royal Lace necklace from my last post.  This design is basically composed of the same 2 components as the necklace (the 3-pearl component, and the diamond-shaped crystal component), but they are arranged vertically instead of horizontally.  This pattern is made using Czech 11/0 seed beads, 4mm bicone crystals, and 4mm and 6mm pearls.  Enjoy!

FREE beading pattern for Royal Lace necklace

This pattern definitely takes some patience to make, but the end result is lovely.  To make it, you need 11/0 Czech seed beads, 4mm crystals, and 4mm and 6mm pearls.  The piece below was made using AB sapphire 4mm crystals, ivory pearls, and silver 11/0 Czech seed beads.  The other example was made with copper seed beads, metallic copper crystals, and beige pearls.  I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post.  Enjoy!

FREE beading pattern for necklace Stone Glam

This design uses 20mm pillow beads along with 4mm and 6mm round beads of natural stone (magnesite in this case), accented with 11/0 Czech copper seed beads and 4mm copper satin pearls.  I love the way the natural stone looks in this piece.  Enjoy!
