FREE beading pattern: Pretty Hearts Bracelet

FREE beading pattern for Pretty Hearts Bracelet

January 6, 2022 / admin / 4 Comments

Enjoy a video tutorial along with the free PDF diagram for this design! This new bracelet is one of my favorite seed-bead-only designs, and I’m posting it in time to make for Valentine’s Day! Because it is made of only seed beads, it is light weight, thin, and comfortable to wear. I enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations, and found contrasting colors look best to bring out the heart shapes within the frame. I hope you have fun with this free beading pattern!

Materials

You need 11/0 round seed beads in two colors for this bracelet, TOHO or Czech, as long as both colors are the same type. You will also need two 6/0 seed beads for the jump rings to go through to connect the clasp.

In the samples shown below, the silver hearts framed with red, and the white hearts framed in pink were made with smaller Czech beads, where 11 hearts in the first row makes about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Simply add hearts to make it longer (each heart adds about 1/2-inch). The gold hearts framed in grey, and the red hearts framed in silver were made with TOHO (larger) seed beads. With TOHO seed beads, 10 hearts in the first row made about a 6.25-inch bracelet (6.75 inches with clasp). Each heart you add will add slightly more than 1/2″ to the bracelet.

FREE beading pattern for Garland Necklace

November 2, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! I absolutely love how this necklace turned out. This design took a while to work out the right spacing for everything, but the result is gorgeous… and one of my favorites. And now I’m sharing it with you all for free! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

Materials

For this Necklace, you will need superduos (in two colors), 11/0 and 8/0 TOHO seed beads, 4mm and 6mm crystals (round or bicone), and a clasp to connect with jump rings. A 16-inch necklace (15.5-inch without the clasp) will require eleven 4mm crystals and twelve 6mm crystals. For a longer necklace, you will need one more 4mm and 6mm crystal per inch (approximately). These are the colors used in the examples below:

	Superduos	Crystals	Seed Beads

FREE beading pattern for Halloween Spider Pendant

September 27, 2021 / admin / 1 Comment

Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this pendant! This is my first ever Halloween-themed design, and I am happy with the result. I wanted to create a piece for Halloween, but something that still looked like elegant jewelry. My design started with an oval bezel pattern that was the base for my Netted Bezel, Victorian Pendant, and Enchanted Tree necklace designs, and ended with a spider on top. For further inspiration, you can review those previous designs for different ideas on how you might further embellish this pendant, or incorporate it into a beaded necklace. I added my Custom Beaded Bail to the purple Spider Pendant below, to show another option. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

For this pendant, you will need a 25x18mm Cabochon (flat-back). I ordered both acrylic and resin ones online at Fire Mountain Gems several years ago. Their selection has changed a bit since then, but they still have a pretty good selection of affordable 25x18mm resin and acrylic Cabochons. You will also need

Two rondelle crystals (one 4x6mm and one 6x8mm) for the spider body
15/0 seed beads
11/0 TOHO seed beads (one color the same as the 15/0 seed beads, and another color matching the spider body). I think other 11/0 seed beads (smaller than TOHO) could possibly also work, but I haven’t officially tried that.
Twelve 4mm crystals (bicone or round)
