FREE beading pattern: Shield Maiden Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Shield Maiden Earrings

June 10, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial with the PDF diagram of this design! The title of this design is an homage to one of my favorite book series, Lord of The Rings. One of my favorite characters in Lord of The Rings is Éowyn, niece of King Théoden and shieldmaiden of Rohan. These earrings are quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads, superduos (in two colors, 14 of inner color, and 28 of the outer color), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks/clips via jump rings. The aqua/white shows a variation in the pattern, requiring 12 top color and 30 bottom color superduos. After trying several color combinations, I think I liked coordinating the inner color and seed beads to be the same color, letting the outer color superduos be the accent.

FREE beading pattern for Sunflower Pendant

June 3, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the free PDF download for this design! The part I like best about this design is the new technique I use to bezel the rivoli crystal in the center. The bezel part only requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (no 15/0 seed beads, like in my Georgiana or Evangeline Earrings), and is very easy and quick to make. (One of the photos below shows what the bezel looks like from the back, so you can see how securely it holds the crystal). Also, the bezel does not cover up too much of the rivoli crystal. I like this because it allows the beauty and depth of the crystal to reflect more light from the center. So I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design you will need a 14mm rivoli crystal, nine 6mm bicone crystals, nine 4mm bicone crystals, nine superduos, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. You will also need a bail or large jump ring to connect the pendant to a chain or cord.

FREE beading pattern for Superduo Bud Earrings

May 20, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial with the free PDF download of this design! These unique earrings are designed to coordinate with the Superduo Buds Necklace from my previous post. The “bud” motif is featured in the center, with a nice kite-shaped frame around it. You can use either TOHO seed beads (like the image above) or Czech seed beads (like the green/copper version below). This design is very simple and quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), superduo beads in 2 colors, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks or clips through jump rings.

FREE beading pattern for Lillian earrings

May 7, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial with this earring design’s PDF diagram! I’m at it again – developing another design using different size rondelle crystals that I got from Michael’s. The Arabella Earring design from my previous post was more of an oval shape, where these are more of a diamond shape. The possibilities seem endless! These crystals are a constant inspiration to me for new designs. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require 11/0 TOHO seed beads (one or two colors), three sizes of rondelle crystals (four 8×10 mm, eight 4x6mm, and four 3x4mm), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hooks (or clips or posts) through jump rings. I have mentioned this in previous posts, but for TOHO seed beads, I tend to like metallic colors (gold, silver, bronze, etc). They make my pieces feel more like classic jewelry to me. Because I don’t like my pieces to tarnish over time, I almost always use PermaFinish TOHO seed beads.

FREE beading pattern for Arabella Earrings

April 23, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial with this new design’s PDF diagram! I designed these lovely oval earrings to coordinate with the Arabella Pendant from my last post. The rondelle crystals create a stunning oval center piece without requiring a single large focal crystal (like a rivoli, chaton, or cabachon). Since I have several colors and sizes of rondelle crystals among my supplies (mostly from Michael’s), I was able to experiment with many color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

These earrings require two sizes of rondelle crystals (two 6x8mm, and twenty 3x4mm), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 TOHO seed beads to connect the earhooks via jump rings.
