FREE beading pattern: Coral Superduo Earrings

FREE beading pattern for Coral Superduo Earrings

December 15, 2020 / admin / 0 Comments

Here is an earring design to coordinate with the Coral Superduo Earrings from my last post. It requires 11/0 seed beads (2 to 3 colors), and Superduo beads (1 – 2 colors, or a coordinating bead mix), plus a 6/0 or 8/0 bead to connect the ear hook via jump ring. The branches of the coraled strands (and each section of the spine) have one less seed bead than in the coraled strands of the necklace/pendant, in order to make this earring component slightly shorter (not too long).

Since these earrings are quicker to make than the necklace, I was able to experiment more with different colors and superduo bead mixes. The “organic” feel of this design lends itself well to designer superduo bead mixes in a family of colors and varying finishes (matte, gloss, textured, etc). I love how they turned out! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.

One more design for the holidays! I was curious how superduo beads would look on a “coraled” pendant, and I love how it turned out! They resemble tri-petal florets on the end of each coral branch, and look great with either two accent colors or one. This design requires only TOHO 11/0 seed beads (two to three colors) and superduo beads (one or two accent colors).

In the red/green piece, I used a base color of silver (Permafinish galvanized aluminum TOHO 11/0) with two accent colors of red and green (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors). In the purple/rose-gold piece I used a rose-gold base color with one accent color of purple (requiring purple seed and superduo beads). The last aqua/white piece was made with smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, but the thread showed a little more on the chain part of the necklace, so I feel TOHO seed beads work slightly better with this design. The aqua/white color scheme did not have a base color – instead I just alternated the 2 colors (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors).

FREE beading pattern: Christmas Diamond Earrings

FREE beading pattern: Christmas Diamond Necklace — FREE beading pattern: Christmas Diamond Earrings

This is an earring design to coordinate with the Christmas Diamond Necklace from my last post. These earrings are much quicker to make than the necklace, which is a nice way to test different color schemes before committing to the necklace. Two sizes of bugle beads are required: #2 (5mm) green bugle beads, and #3 (7mm) red bugle beads. I made these in a different color scheme as well, using black and clear/irridescent bugles. 8/0 and 11/0 TOHO seed beads are also required, as are jump rings and ear hooks to finish them off. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE Beading Pattern for Madelyn Earrings

February 1, 2019 / admin / 0 Comments

This is an earring design to coordinate with the Madelyn Necklace in my last post. Each earring requires 11/0 seed beads, 7 Superduos, a 4mm and a 6mm pearl or crystal, and a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead for the jump ring to go through at the top. Like the necklace, this pattern works equally well with either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/white/pink piece), or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the copper or grey/blue pieces). I used 6-lb FireLine as my beading thread, as always. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE Beading Pattern for Madelyn Necklace

January 19, 2019 / admin / 12 Comments

This is my latest design, which requires Superduos, 4mm and 6mm pearls or crystals, and 11/0 seed beads. The pattern diagram shows how the necklace is made in 4 rows, back and forth (the 2nd and 3rd rows being quicker than the first and last). The great thing about this pattern is that it works equally well with either larger TOHO 11/0 seed beads (like the gold/white/pink piece), or smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads (like the grey/blue piece). This pattern produces a curve that works best for shorter necklaces (15 – 20 inches), but probably not much longer than that. What I love best about this design are the lacy curves, which are not always easily achieved with netting techniques. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern. (I plan to post a pattern for matching earrings in my next post). Have fun experimenting with different colors!

The materials used for the white/pink/gold piece were white Superduos, 4mm and 6mm Light Coral Czech Glass Pearls (from Jill Wiseman Designs), and gold TOHO 11.0 seed beads.

The materials used for the blue/grey piece were crystal blue luster Superduos, 4mm and 6mm bicone AB blue crystals, and black hematite 11/0 Czech seed beads.
