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 lacy Diana Necklace

July 27, 2022 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! I love how “lacy” this piece looks. Only the smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads works with this pattern. (I tried larger 11/0 TOHOs, but they didn’t work). This necklace is made in five rows. You need to make the first row 3 inches longer than your desired necklace length, because rows 2 and 3 will shrink the length. I think the Darlene Earrings would coordinate nicely with this necklace. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this necklace you will need superduos, 4mm round beads (about 100 for a 16-inch necklace), and 11/0 Czech seed beads – only smaller 11/0s work (i.e. Czech, not TOHO). You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to feed the jump rings through at the ends to attach a clasp. I use 6lb Fireline (about 5 meters/yards) with a size 10 beading needle.

Free beading pattern for Geneva Earrings

June 9, 2022 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF download for this design. These earrings are designed to coordinate with the Geneva Bracelet from my last post. I love the way this design has a visually interesting “swirl” to it. This design is versatile in that you can use any 11/0 round seed bead (Czech or TOHO), any 4mm bead (round, bicone, crystal, or pearl), and the component can make a nice pendant as well. The end of the video tutorial shows how you can connect this component to two longer Geneva Bracelet components to make a necklace (pictured below and modelled in the end of the short demo video below). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Geneva Bracelet, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need sixteen 4mm beads (8 per earring). I use about 2 feet of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for each earring. The white/gold piece was made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. See my previous post for the Geneva Bracelet for a complete list of materials used in the pieces pictured below.

Free beading pattern for Geneva Bracelet

June 2, 2022 / admin / 3 Comments

Enjoy a free step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! I loved this bracelet so much I couldn’t stop making it. Experimenting with different color combinations was fun, especially since this bracelet is so quick and easy to make. My favorite ended up being the one I thought I would like the least, which is the piece shown above (made with multi-colored stone-like colors and bronze seed beads). This bracelet is versatile in that you can use any round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), and any 4mm bead (crystals, round, bicone, etc) with your superduos. This bracelet also works very well as a wrap bracelet if you double or triple the length. (I doubled it in the example above). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

As mentioned above, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need about 28 4mm beads to make a 6.5-inch bracelet (7 inches when you include the clasp), or more if you want it longer. I use about 1 yard or meter of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for a single-strand bracelet. The white/gold piece, and the multi-colored piece were made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. Here is a complete list of materials used in the bracelets shown here:

	Superduos	4mm Beads	Seed Beads
Multi-colored	Raku Mix from Hobby Lobby	Dyed Magnesite 4mm round (from Fire Mountain Gems)	Opaque Bronze 11/0 TOHO (from Fire Mountain Gems)
Pink/White	Chalk Lilac Luster from Hobby Lobby	Strung off-white glass pearls from Hobby Lobby	White Shell 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby
White/Gold	Opaque White Luster from Hobby Lobby	Preciosa Czech crystal aurum 2X bicone crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	Galvanized Starlight (gold) 11/0 TOHO PermaFinish (from Fire Mountain Gems)
White and Light Blue	Magic Blue Pink from Hobby Lobby	Aurora Borealis Faceted Glass Round Beads (from Michael’s)	White Ceylon 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby
Teal/Silver	Pastel Emerald from Hobby Lobby	Green Blue Iris Czech Fire-polished round crystals (from Fire Mountain Gems)	Silver 11/0 Czech from Hobby Lobby

Free beading pattern for Bonnie Earrings

May 12, 2022 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to go with the free PDF diagram download for this design! These earrings coordinate with the Bonnie Bracelet in my previous post. The pieces with alternating superduo colors give interest and depth, but the single-color ones have a nice classic clean look – I like both! You can use any 6mm bead or crystal with this pattern, which makes it versatile. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Bonnie Bracelet, you will need 11/0 TOHO and 15/0 seed beads, one or two colors of superduos, and six 6mm beads or crystals. The 6mm beads can be round beads, pearls, round crystals, or bicone crystals. You will also need two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the earhook or clip with jump rings.
