FREE beading pattern for Garland Bracelet

November 16, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! I love this new bracelet design, meant to coordinate with the Garland Earrings and Garland Necklace from my previous posts. It is perfect for the Holidays, but also gorgeous for other occasions. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

You only need two colors of superduos and 11/0 TOHO seed beads for this bracelet, plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads for jump rings to go through for the clasp. Each “component” of the bracelet is about 1/2 inch, so you can customize to your desired length.

FREE beading pattern for Joslyn Earrings

August 12, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this design! I designed this earring to coordinate with the Joslyn Necklace from my previous post. This design looks best with contrasting colors, to bring out the geometric lines. These are quick and easy to make, and fun to experiment with different color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For these earrings, you will need twelve superduos, six 4mm crystals (bicone or round), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect earhooks with jump rings.

FREE beading pattern for Joslyn Necklace

August 5, 2021 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF diagram for this design! I love how this design incorporates the superduos as pops of color at the connection points, but in a totally different way than in the Nadine Necklace design from my previous post. The piece is woven with nearly the same number of crystals (or round beads), which makes for a symmetrical contrast of color. Using bright colors that contrast one another seems to work best with this design, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this design you need 66 – 72 4mm crystals (bicone or round) or round beads, superduos, 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), and two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect a clasp with jump rings. Using 11/0 TOHO seed beads, a 16-inch necklace (with clasp) requires 66 crystals. With 11/0 Czech seed beads (slightly smaller than TOHO), a 16-inch necklace requires 72 crystals.

FREE beading pattern for Nadine Necklace

July 22, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram of this free pattern! I love the way this design alternates colors of curvy lines radiating from the center, resembling the sun’s corona. It is a variation on basic netting technique, but the superduos at the connection points allow the lines to curve instead of making sharp corners. This design seems to work best with two high-contrasting seed bead colors. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace, you need 6mm round beads, superduos, two colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads, 8/0 seed beads (matching one of the 11/0 TOHO seed bead colors), and jump rings to connect a clasp.

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.
