FREE beading pattern: Pretty Hearts Bracelet

FREE beading pattern for Pretty Hearts Bracelet

January 6, 2022 / admin / 4 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new bracelet is one of my favorite seed-bead-only designs, and I’m posting it in time to make for Valentine’s Day! Because it is made of only seed beads, it is light weight, thin, and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations, and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!

Materials

You need 11/0 round seed beads in two colors for this bracelet, TOHO or Czech, as long as both colors are the same type. You will also need two 6/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the clasp.

In the samples shown below, the silver hearts framed with red, and the white hearts framed in pink were made with smaller Czech beads, where 11 hearts in the first row makes about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Simply add hearts to make it longer (each heart adds about 1/2-inch). The gold hearts framed in grey, and the red hearts framed in silver were made with TOHO (larger) seed beads. With TOHO seed beads, 10 hearts in the first row made about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Each heart you add will add slightly more than 1/2″ to the bracelet.

FREE beading pattern for Wendy Earrings

October 21, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! These earrings are very light-weight, and are quick and easy to make. They are designed to coordinate with the Wendy Necklace from my last post. (You can see how they look together in the photos below). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For these earrings you need one or two colors of 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech, although I think the Czech seed beads looked slightly better in this design). You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for jump rings to go through to connect the ear hooks or clips.

FREE beading pattern for unique Wendy Necklace

October 14, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! This unique design requires only seed beads, and is simple to make. I like how the outer row resembles flames, as the points can lean a little left or right as they float under the accent petals. (My next one will be fire colored!) The green and gold one reminds me of sunflower petals surrounded by leaves. The blue piece shows the design using only one color instead of two. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you need one or two colors of 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech, although I think the Czech seed beads looked slightly better in this design). You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for jump rings to go through to connect the clasp.

FREE beading pattern: Georgiana Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Georgiana Earrings

February 1, 2021 / admin / 9 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF instructions for this design! This is my newest earring design, which bezels a 14mm rivoli crystal and frames it with 4mm round beads and seed beads. I love how using a slightly darker gold (or silver) for the 4mm beads gave this piece a “old world” feel, and made the crystal color pop. The way the superduo beads are incorporated into the frame gives it a lovely tear-drop shape. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Each earring requires a 14mm rivoli crystal, 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads of the same color, fourteen 4mm round beads, five superduo beads, and one 8/0 or 6/0 seed bead to connect an earhook via jump ring at the top. (Materials are also listed in the diagram image and PDF below).

FREE beading pattern for Olivia Bracelet

January 25, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF instructions for this design! The original inspiration for this design was some large 1-inch to 1.25-inch flat beads I had on hand (having same front and back), which I thought would make a great center piece for a bracelet. Color combinations are fun to experiment with in this design — you can use all the same color 11/0 seed beads, or pick 3 (one color same as the 15/0, one color matching the superduos, and one accent color), like the pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern and tutorial!

Materials

This pattern requires a large center bead (about 1-inch long and flat), superduos, 15/0 seed beads, 11/0 seed beads (3 colors), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end for jump rings to go through to attach the clasp. (Materials are also listed in the pattern PDF/image itself).
