Free Beading Pattern: Camilla Cube Earrings

Free Beading Pattern for Camilla Cube Earrings

August 6, 2024 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! These earrings are easy to make, and nicely compliment the Camilla Bracelet from my previous post. Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the superduo and a contrasting color for the borders. In one example, I used a 3rd color for the corners (the earrings with black corners). Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

This piece requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors) and superduos, plus two 2-inch head pins to connect ear hooks. You can optionally use a 3rd color of 11/0 TOHO seed beads for the corners. I used about 2 meter/yard of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make each earring.

Free Beading Pattern for Camilla Bracelet

June 18, 2024 / admin / 1 Comment

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 has two versions: one with 4mm crystal embellishments, and one without – the video tutorial and diagram explains both variations. In either version, using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the superduo (version 1) or crystal (version 2), and a contrasting color for the border. Have fun experimenting with color combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

To make this bracelet you will need superduos, 11/0 TOHO seed beads (two colors), and two 6/0 seed beads to connect the lobster clasp with jump rings. If making version 2 of the bracelet, you will also need around a dozen 4mm bicone crystals. I find it is best to pick one of the seed bead colors that match the superduo (if making version 1) or crystal (if making version 2). I also liked transparent superduos for version 1. I used about 2 meters (yards) of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle.

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.
