Free Beading Pattern for Imperial Bracelet

November 14, 2023 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Experimenting with color, I liked seed bead colors that contrast the crystal but are similar to each other for the different size seed beads (like light gold in one size and dark gold in the other, for example). I also liked bright translucent colors for the crystals, for the way it reflects light. The construction is made in a single row to the desired length and is fairly quick to make. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 and 6/0 seed beads and 6x8mm rondelle crystals, plus jump rings to connect clasp. I used about 1.5 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make this bracelet.

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 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 patriotic Betsy Earrings

June 30, 2022 / admin / 0 Comments

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram download for this design! I love this earring design, simple and quick to make. These earrings coordinate with the Betsy Bracelet from my previous post. It has different looks based on color choice: The red, white, and blue gives a patriotic “Captain America” vibe, and floral colors resemble spring flowers. The center component looks more like a star if you use the same (white) color (at steps 1-2 in the diagram), and more like flowers if you use different colors. I loved both color schemes. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

Like the Betsy Bracelet, you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), superduos (2 colors), 4mm round beads (2 colors), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads to connect the ear hook or clip with jump rings. I used a total of about 1.5 meters (yards) of 6-lb FireLine for both earrings, and a size 10 beading needle.

Free beading pattern for patriotic Betsy Bracelet

June 23, 2022 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram download for this design! I love this cuff bracelet design, that can have different looks based on color choice. Use red, white, and blue to get a “Stars and Stripes” look; use floral colors to look like spring flowers. The center components look more like stars if you use the same (white) color (at steps 1, 2, and 8 in the diagram), and more like flowers if you use different colors. I loved both color schemes. The bracelet is made in 5 rows (though the 5th row is optional). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this bracelet you will need 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), superduos (2 colors), 4mm round beads (2 colors), plus two 6/0 or 8/0 seed beads at either end to connect the clasp with jump rings. For a 7-inch bracelet (including clasp), you will need to make 8 flower/star components in the first row, requiring eight 4mm beads for the component center, and 62 4mm beads surrounding the components. I used a size 10 beading needle with about 4 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline. I’m only comfortable working with a maximum of 2 meters/yards of thread at a time, so I used that amount, then connected another segment of Fireline halfway through using a lighter (shown in the video).
