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 Darlene Necklace

March 22, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

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 Sabela Necklace

August 26, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram download for this design! This is a dazzling necklace with bling, but still dainty and delicate. It is fairly quick and easy to make, and very fun to try with different color combinations. On the blue, white, and silver piece shown below, I added an extra back drop off the clasp just to add another variation idea (though instructions for that are not included in the video tutorial or PDF). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need twelve 6mm bicone crystals, twenty-six 4mm pearls or round beads, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, two lengths of chain (7 or 8 inches), four jump rings, and a clasp. (If you want to add a back drop like the blue/white/silver piece shown below, you will need a bit more chain, a few more crystals/pearls, and some wire to put the crystals/pearls on and bend end-loops to connect to the chain).

FREE beading pattern for Nadine Necklace

July 22, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this free pattern! I love the way this design alternates colors of curvy lines radiating from the center, resembling the sun’s corona. It is a variation on basic netting technique, but the superduos at the connection points allow the lines to curve instead of making sharp corners. This design seems to work best with two high-contrasting seed bead colors. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace, you need 6mm round beads, superduos, two colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads, 8/0 seed beads (matching one of the 11/0 TOHO seed bead colors), and jump rings to connect a clasp.
