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.

FREE beading pattern for Lorraine Necklace

January 24, 2018 / admin / 4 Comments

Special Note:

My apologies to those of you on the e-mail list who may have received multiple e-mails of my last post. There was a server migration in December which caused a glitch in the e-mail mechanism, which I believe has now been fixed.

New pattern!

This is my latest necklace design, entitled Lorraine Necklace. It requires 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls or crystals, 6mm & 8mm pearls (or round beads), and Superduo or twin beads. If you choose to use 4mm crystals that are not bicone (i.e. like the black/gold piece below, where the crystals are more oval), a slight adjustment to the pattern is needed. If using oval crystals, then at steps 16 and 17 where you see 2 seed beads in a row, use only one. Below the picture is a list of materials I used in the three pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

11/0 seed beads	4mm beads/crystals	6mm/8mm beads	Superduos or twins
Dyna-Mites: silver-lined light peach translucent	Light pink AB bicone crystals	Off-white pearls	Clear AB Superduo beads
Dyna-Mites: silver-lined translucent rainbow gold	Black AB round crystals	Glossy black round beads	Matte gold Superduo beads
TOHO silver (galvanized aluminum)	Dark blue pearls	Dark blue pearls	Half-silver/half-clear Superduo beads

FREE beading pattern: Pentagon Rivoli Pendant

FREE beading pattern for Pentagon Rivoli Pendant

October 4, 2017 / admin / 3 Comments

This is a lovely pendant design, which features a crystal rivoli inside a 5-pointed floral frame. The pattern requires a 14mm crystal rivoli, 6mm pearls or bicone crystals, Superduo beads, 11/0 seed beads, and jewelry glue for the last step. I experimented with larger (TOHO) and smaller (Czech) 11/0 seed beads, and both seemed to work equally well. I included a step at the end to glue the the rivoli back to its beaded cage in the back, because I found that with some of the pieces I made, the rivoli could pop out if you twisted the component hard enough. I used E6000 clear glue for that step (same as pictured in the Materials photo in my DIY Sweater Clip post). I was able to string the pendant on a chain by inserting a jump ring through the middle of one of the sides of the finished piece. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern: Superduo Leaf Drops Necklace

FREE beading pattern for Superduo Leaf Drops Necklace

September 11, 2017 / admin / 4 Comments

This design is made entirely from Superduos and 11/0 seed beads. You can either use two colors to alternate the leaf drops, or a single color — both yield nice results. There is a variation included in the pattern that uses seed beads in place of the horizontal Superduo in each leaf drop (where the leaf drop cinches together). If using two colors, there are two different ways to alternate them, which is also shown in the pattern. The materials and variations I used in these pieces are listed below. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

FREE beading pattern for Wire Loop Cross

July 5, 2017 / admin / 19 Comments

This wire loop cross pendant and necklace is made as a single interconnected piece, and looks fabulous as a short necklace. It is made using bead stringing wire (0.015in, 0.38mm), crimp beads (6), 11/0 seed beads, 4mm and 6mm round beads, and 4 Superduo beads for the center of the cross. Instead of transcribing this pattern as a diagram, I decided to create more of a picture tutorial in hopes it would be easier to follow. This piece can be made fairly quickly, so I was able to make many of them to experiment with different color combinations. You can use crimping pliers to crimp the beads at steps 7, 8, and 11, but I found just pinching the crimps flat with needle-nose pliers worked just as well, and was easier to do. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
