Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! I love this bracelet and had fun experimenting with different colors. It coordinates nicely with the Ellie Necklace from my previous post, as well as the Ornate Cross Pendant. Although there are “front” color and “back” color superduos, you see both equally in the piece. I found I liked irridescent or multi-colored superduos the best on the front (anything with a varied and shiny finish), with a solid supporting color on the back. Like the Ellie Necklace, this bracelet is constructed in a single row and is reversible. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this bracelet you will need 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), 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 step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design. Inspired by the shaping of my Snake Pendant, I applied some of the same techniques into making this wavy bracelet. You can make a single wave bracelet or attach a 2nd wave to braid into a double wave bracelet. I had fun experimenting with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This bracelet requires superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the clasp with jump rings. If making the double-wave version, using two colors of superduos (one for each wave) gives a nice contrast. When making the double-wave version of this bracelet, make the first strand one curve longer than the desired bracelet length, as it will shrink a bit when the 2nd strand is braided in.

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF instructional diagram for this Snake Pendant design. After playing around with different methods to stitch curves with superduos and seed beads, I developed this cute pattern for a Snake Pendant. It has a beaded loop in the back as a hidden bail, so no jump rings are needed. I liked how superduos with a varied finish (like Picasso or Chalk) looked the best. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This pendant only requires sixteen superduo beads and 11/0 TOHO seed beads (two seed beads in a different color for the eyes – I used red). Photos below of the green snake pendant show how the back of the pendant has a beaded loop to act as a hidden bail. There’s no need for jump rings or bail findings for this pendant, just the cord or chain it will hang on.
