FREE beading pattern for Garland Necklace

November 2, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

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! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

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. A 16-inch necklace (15.5-inch without the clasp) will require eleven 4mm crystals and twelve 6mm crystals. For a longer necklace, you will need one more 4mm and 6mm crystal per inch (approximately). These are the colors used in the examples below:

	Superduos	Crystals	Seed Beads
Christmas colors	Chalk Red (from Michaels), and Light Green Metallic Suede (from Jill Wiseman Designs)	4mm and 6mm round crystals, Czech fire-polished glass, translucent clear with half-coat metallic pale gold from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 and 8/0 TOHO Permafinish galvanized Starlight (gold) seed beads (from Fire Mountain Gems)
Pink and White	Pink and Matte White from Hobby Lobby	4mm and 6mm transparent pink AB bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 and 8/0 TOHO Permafinish galvanized aluminum (silver) seed beads (from Fire Mountain Gems)
Dark Blue	Dark blue and Clear AB from Hobby Lobby	4mm and 6mm clear AB bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	11/0 and 8/0 TOHO Permafinish galvanized aluminum (silver) seed beads (from Fire Mountain Gems)

FREE beading pattern for Brianna Earrings

October 4, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This is an earring designed to coordinate with the Brianna Bracelet and Brianna Necklace from my previous posts. Only seed and bugle beads are needed, and they are very quick and easy to make. Like the Brianna Bracelet and Necklace, this design looks great with classic jewelry colors (gold, silver, etc.), with bugles that pop against that (bright color, reflective). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads and bugle beads, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. The bugles can be 7mm long (as shown in blue/silver and pink/hematite examples) or 12mm long, like the red/gold example. Technically you can use any size bugle 7mm or longer, as long as you use the same size for both earrings. When using metallic seed beads, I prefer Permafinish TOHO seed beads, which do not tarnish over time.

FREE beading pattern for Halloween Spider Pendant

September 27, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this pendant! This is my first ever Halloween-themed design, and I am happy with the result. I wanted to create a piece for Halloween, but something that still looked like elegant jewelry. My design started with an oval bezel pattern that was the base for my Netted Bezel, Victorian Pendant, and Enchanted Tree necklace designs, and ended with a spider on top. For further inspiration, you can review those previous designs for different ideas on how you might further embellish this pendant, or incorporate it into a beaded necklace. I added my Custom Beaded Bail to the purple Spider Pendant below, to show another option. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this pendant, you will need a 25x18mm Cabochon (flat-back). I ordered both acrylic and resin ones online at Fire Mountain Gems several years ago. Their selection has changed a bit since then, but they still have a pretty good selection of affordable 25x18mm resin and acrylic Cabochons. You will also need

Two rondelle crystals (one 4x6mm and one 6x8mm) for the spider body
15/0 seed beads
11/0 TOHO seed beads (one color the same as the 15/0 seed beads, and another color matching the spider body). I think other 11/0 seed beads (smaller than TOHO) could possibly also work, but I haven’t officially tried that.
Twelve 4mm crystals (bicone or round)
