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

FREE beading pattern: Darlene Necklace
FREE beading pattern: Darlene Necklace

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 Superduo Leaf Drops Necklace

This design is made entirely from Superduos and 11/0 seed beads. You can either use two colors to alternate the leaf drops, or a single color — both yield nice results. There is a variation included in the pattern that uses seed beads in place of the horizontal Superduo in each leaf drop (where the leaf drop cinches together). If using two colors, there are two different ways to alternate them, which is also shown in the pattern. The materials and variations I used in these pieces are listed below. 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 Tudor Cross Pendant

FREE beading pattern: Tudor Cross Pendant

I really love how this pendant turned out!  It comes in two flavors: Diamond-shaped and Cross-shaped.  When experimenting with different color combinations, I found that a higher-contrast seed bead color accentuated the outline of the cross-shape better.   I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Both Diamond-shaped and Cross-shaped versions of this pendant require Superduos, 4mm and 6mm round beads or pearls, and 11/0 seed beads. Between the smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads and larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads, I found the smaller Czech ones worked slightly better.  However, larger TOHO beads still worked in this pattern (see the dark copper/olive and bronze/red examples below). Those examples with TOHO seed bead were made with natural stone 4mm/6mm round beads, which tend to be on the larger side of 4mm/6mm.
