Free Beading Pattern for Amelia Bracelet

May 3, 2024 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This bracelet is very easy to make, and works well with just one color, or multiple colors, or with any variety of finishes. There are two ways to incorporate two colors of superduos: one with a center vs border color (like the red/black or blue/gold examples), and one with alternating colors (like the white/aqua or silver/magenta examples) – the video tutorial explains both. Have fun experimenting with infinite color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

To make this bracelet you will need superduos (in one or more colors), 11/0 TOHO seed beads, and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. I used about 3 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

Free beading pattern: Spring Vine Bracelet

Free Beading Pattern for Spring Vine Bracelet

April 17, 2024 / admin

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Pair this curvy vine-like budding bracelet with spring colors, and create a beautiful accessory for Spring. This bracelet works really well as a wrap bracelet, and works with a variety of bead finishes and palettes. Using colors in the same family (like varying pastels, or different shades of the same color) seemed to work better than highly contrasting color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

A single wrap of this bracelet requires about ten 6mm round beads, ten 4mm round beads, twenty superduos, and 11/0 TOHO seed beads. For a bracelet with multiple wraps, you will need to multiply that by the number of wraps you want. Two 6/0 seed beads and two jump rings are also needed to attach a lobster clasp. In one of the bracelets (the one made with light green metallic seed beads), I used round beads that were closer to 5mm instead of 6mm, and that worked just as well.

Free beading pattern for Nellie Bracelet

June 30, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! The technique used is similar to my Ellie Bracelet and Ellie Necklace from my previous posts, so I chose to name it “Nellie” – so essentially its name and design both rhyme with Ellie. As such, it coordinates nicely with my Ellie designs and Ornate Cross Pendant as well. This bracelet works with a variety of color combinations and finishes. The construction is made from two simple rows and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (Czech will likely also work, but I didn’t officially try it), 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.

Free Beading Pattern for Reversible Ellie Bracelet

June 7, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

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.

Materials

For this pendant you will need two colors of superduos, 11/0 seed beads (TOHO or Czech), five 6/0 seed beads, and four 4mm crystals (bicone or round). You will also need a jump ring and a bail to connect the pendant to a cord or chain. I used 2 meters of 6 lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to construct each pendant.
