Free beading pattern for Bonnie Bracelet

May 3, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF instructional diagram for this design! I was so happy with how this bracelet turned out, and I had lots of fun experimenting with different colors. The pieces with alternating superduo colors give interest and depth, but the single-color ones have a nice classic clean look – I like both! I also think this could make a great wrap bracelet by doubling or tripling the bracelet length. You can use any 6mm bead or crystal with this pattern, which makes it versatile. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet, you will need 11/0 TOHO and 15/0 seed beads, one or two colors of superduos, and around fourteen 6mm beads or crystals (for a 7″ bracelet including clasp – more if you want it longer). The 6mm beads can be round beads, pearls, round crystals, or bicone crystals. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings.

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 Joslyn Bracelet

August 19, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This bracelet is designed to coordinate with the Joslyn Earrings and the Joslyn Necklace from my previous posts. The bracelet is about 7 inches long with the clasp (about 6 1/2 inches without), when made as shown with six diamond-shaped components. Adding a 7th diamond-shaped component will add another inch, if you want a longer bracelet. I like this design best when made with contrasting colors, to bring out the geometric lines. This bracelet easy to make, and fun to experiment with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need superduos, 4mm crystals (round or bicone), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. The first row should not be worked too tightly. It should be loose enough to lie in a straight line by itself, and just tight enough to not have any thread gaps. If it starts to zig-zag around the superduos, it is too tight.

FREE beading pattern for Arabella Earrings

April 23, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial with this new design’s PDF diagram! I designed these lovely oval earrings to coordinate with the Arabella Pendant from my last post. The rondelle crystals create a stunning oval center piece without requiring a single large focal crystal (like a rivoli, chaton, or cabachon). Since I have several colors and sizes of rondelle crystals among my supplies (mostly from Michael’s), I was able to experiment with many color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require two sizes of rondelle crystals (two 6x8mm, and twenty 3x4mm), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 TOHO seed beads to connect the earhooks via jump rings.
