FREE beading pattern for Floral Butterfly Necklace

I am especially fond of this lacy spring/summer design, featuring mini-butterflies and flowers. Besides the 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at each end for connecting a clasp via jump rings, this pattern requires only Superduos and 4mm round beads of the same color (to form the mini-butterflies), and 3 colors of 11/0 seed beads: one main color (for diamonds or “leaves”), one for the flower petals, and one for the accent (flower center and butterfly head). I found that smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads seemed to work best for the flower petals color, but really Toho will work if that’s all you have. (Delicas are not really round enough for the flowers). Slight size or shape differences in 11/0 seed beads (i.e. Czech vs. Toho) didn’t seem to matter for the other colors. Even though it takes hours to make, I liked this design so much I found myself making 3 of them, just to experiment with different color combinations!

This pattern makes a necklace about 17 inches long. If you need it longer, you can make extra diamond+flower components (steps 8 – 12) in the beginning before the first diamond-with-Superduo component (steps 2 – 3), and after the last/14th diamond-with-Superduo component. Adding an extra diamond+flower component at each end adds about an inch to the whole necklace (1/2-inch each side).

I used 6lb Fireline for these necklaces, 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!

FREE Beading Pattern for Madelyn Earrings

This is an earring design to coordinate with the Madelyn Necklace in my last post. Each earring requires 11/0 seed beads, 7 Superduos, a 4mm and a 6mm pearl or crystal, and a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead for the jump ring to go through at the top. Like the necklace, this pattern works equally well with either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/white/pink piece), or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the copper or grey/blue pieces). I used 6-lb FireLine as my beading thread, as always. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Honeycomb Net necklace

This is my first design using Honeycomb (2-hole hexagon) beads!  The pattern works equally well with Silky (2-hole diamond-shaped beads, shown in the red and black pieces) instead of Honeycomb beads (shown in the green and purple pieces).  The pattern employs a simple netting technique with some accents, and requires 6mm 2-hole Honeycomb or Silky beads, 11/0 seed beads (1 – 4 colors), and 4mm round crystals (optional).  The red and light gold piece below shows how the design looks when 11/0 seed beads are used in place of the 4mm round crystals around the edge.  The purple/silver and green/gold examples use 4 colors of seed beads: one accent color matching the Honeycomb beads, plus 3 different colors, dark-to-light, to create a gradient in the netting.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Christmas Cascade Necklace

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this design! This is a new design, beaded up in festive Christmas colors with elements resembling Christmas tree garlands.  In this piece, I used metallic gold (Permafinish) 11/0 TOHO seed beads and Czech fire-polished dipped decor round crystals (6mm emerald green, and 4mm in 3 colors: emerald green, garnet red, and opaque-to-translucent metallic gold).  In the blue and silver piece, I used 4mm Czech round crystals in two colors instead of three (blue and light blue). The diagram illustrates how to make the necklace in 3 rows, including clasp.  This design works best as a short necklace.  I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

The Christmas colored example is about 15 inches long, which required eighteen 6mm round green crystals, eighteen 4mm green crystals, nineteen 4mm gold crystals, and seventy-six 4mm red crystals. The blue and silver piece is about 16.5 inches long and is made connecting the clasp via jump rings instead of sewing the clasp into a loop. Being slightly longer than the Christmas necklace, the blue and silver piece required more round Czech crystals: twenty 6mm crystals, twenty 4mm blue crystals and 105 4mm light blue crystals. I plan to post another pattern for matching earrings soon.
