Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! The technique used is similar to my Ellie Bracelet and Ellie Necklace from my previous posts, so I chose to name it “Nellie” – so essentially its name and design both rhyme with Ellie. As such, it coordinates nicely with my Ellie designs and Ornate Cross Pendant as well. This bracelet works with a variety of color combinations and finishes. The construction is made from two simple rows and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (Czech will likely also work, but I didn’t officially try it), two colors of superduos, two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads, 2 jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. I used about 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline as my threading material, and a size 10 beading needle.

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF with instructional diagrams for this design. The original inspiration for this pendant was a peacock feather, but the design lends itself to colors outside of that. Now that Spring is here, I wanted to share a design that explodes with color, and this is it! Be brave and have fun experimenting with wild color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this pendant, you will need these materials:
14mm Rivoli crystal (also known as Chaton crystal)
11/0 TOHO seed beads (or 11/0 Dynamite seed beads) in up to three colors
15/0 seed beads
superduos (two colors)
one 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead
Jump ring
Bail (or use a few larger jump rings as a bail)
Size 11 or 12 beading needle
2 meters of 6lb Fireline (or stringing material of your choice)
I used Rivoli crystals of varying quality – the cheaper ones (from Amazon.com) tend be thicker around the edge, but the pattern worked with both types. Below is a list of colors I used. (HL = Hobby Lobby, JWD = Jill Wiseman Designs, FMG = Fire Mountain Gems, AZ = Amazon.com, BB = Bobby Bead).

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Marquessa Bracelet and Marquessa Necklace from my previous posts. The arrangement of crystals here are reminiscent of a chandelier, dazzling with sparkle! The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold earrings). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.
Materials
For these earrings you will need superduos (18 of them), bicone crystals in two colors (14 of each) or one color (28), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks with jump rings.

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! This bracelet coordinates nicely with the Marquessa Necklace from my last post. The adjacent superduos along the sides resemble ropes, giving a nice clean outline alongside the adjacent crystals. The piece is made in 3 rows: going down one side, up the other side, then zipping the two sides together in the middle in a zig-zag pattern. The design looks great with either two colors of bicone crystals (like the green/gold or purple/silver examples) or one color (like the black/gold piece). Have fun experimenting with different color combinations! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.
Materials
This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos, 4mm crystals (1 or 2 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to put jump rings through for the clasp. To make a 7-inch bracelet (not including clasp), you will need about 23 crystals of each color (or 46 of one color). Each pair of crystals adds about 1/3-inch, if you want to make the bracelet longer (or shorter).

To make a longer necklace, you will need about 3 more crystals in each color (or 6 more of one color) per inch.
