FREE beading pattern for Coral Superduo Earrings

Here is an earring design to coordinate with the Coral Superduo Earrings from my last post. It requires 11/0 seed beads (2 to 3 colors), and Superduo beads (1 – 2 colors, or a coordinating bead mix), plus a 6/0 or 8/0 bead to connect the ear hook via jump ring. The branches of the coraled strands (and each section of the spine) have one less seed bead than in the coraled strands of the necklace/pendant, in order to make this earring component slightly shorter (not too long).

Since these earrings are quicker to make than the necklace, I was able to experiment more with different colors and superduo bead mixes. The “organic” feel of this design lends itself well to designer superduo bead mixes in a family of colors and varying finishes (matte, gloss, textured, etc). I love how they turned out! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

One more design for the holidays! I was curious how superduo beads would look on a “coraled” pendant, and I love how it turned out! They resemble tri-petal florets on the end of each coral branch, and look great with either two accent colors or one. This design requires only TOHO 11/0 seed beads (two to three colors) and superduo beads (one or two accent colors).

In the red/green piece, I used a base color of silver (Permafinish galvanized aluminum TOHO 11/0) with two accent colors of red and green (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors). In the purple/rose-gold piece I used a rose-gold base color with one accent color of purple (requiring purple seed and superduo beads). The last aqua/white piece was made with smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, but the thread showed a little more on the chain part of the necklace, so I feel TOHO seed beads work slightly better with this design. The aqua/white color scheme did not have a base color – instead I just alternated the 2 colors (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors).

This is an earring design to coordinate with the Christmas Diamond Necklace from my last post. These earrings are much quicker to make than the necklace, which is a nice way to test different color schemes before committing to the necklace. Two sizes of bugle beads are required: #2 (5mm) green bugle beads, and #3 (7mm) red bugle beads. I made these in a different color scheme as well, using black and clear/irridescent bugles. 8/0 and 11/0 TOHO seed beads are also required, as are jump rings and ear hooks to finish them off. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

I love making geometric designs with bugle beads! This design uses two different sizes of bugle beads to create the curve in the necklace: #2 (5mm) green bugle beads, and #3 (7mm) red bugle beads. 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads are also required. (I like to use galvanized PermaFinish metallic seed beads from FireMountainGems.com, as they resist tarnishing over time). This necklace took me a while to make (so I only made one), but it was worth the patience. It is a light-weight necklace, and the way the bugles catch the light make it a stunning piece. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Floral Butterfly Bracelet

This is a bracelet design to coordinate with the FREE beading pattern for Floral Butterfly Necklace in my last post. It requires the same materials as the necklace: Superduos and 4mm round beads of the same color (to form the mini-butterflies), and 3 colors of 11/0 seed beads: one color for diamonds (or “leaves”), one for the flower petals, and one for the flower center. You also need a clasp and jump rings to connect through the 8/0 seed bead at both ends. This bracelet pattern makes a small bracelet about 7 1/4″ long (including clasp), which can be extended by continuing the pattern to desired length, ending with an 8/0 seed bead for the jump ring to go through. I think this bracelet would also work nicely as a wrap bracelet (doubling or tripling the length).

I used 6lb Fireline for these bracelets, and found that the thread shows a tiny bit, so smoke/dark Fireline (as in the blue/green and olive/rust pieces) looked a little better than the white/crystal Fireline (in the pink/red piece). Clear thread of some kind would also probably be good. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
