Nathan Earrings Beading Pattern

Here is a new beading pattern!  They are pretty simple earrings, but the endless possible color combinations can make them stand out and WOW!

In my example, I used primary colors and turquoise.  I was going for a tribal look.

This pattern was completed using a combination of ladder stitch, two drop brick stitch, and fringe.  A foundation row is created using a ladder stitch with two beads in each row (9 rows).  The rest of the beadwork is completed using a two bead brick stitch.  It's a good pattern for a beginner because there are no complicated increases or decreases.  I used round, size 11/o seed beads for the earrings pictured above, but feel free to experiment with the pattern using various sizes, shapes, and colors of beads. 

You can get the PDF download for this pattern HERE.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Enjoy!

(P.S.  This pattern was named after my cousin Nathan.)

Strawberry Earrings Beading Pattern

Hi everyone!

I had planned on writing another kindle book, and I still might, but I have decided to share some of the patterns I was going to include here on my blog instead.   

Here is a pattern for seed beaded/brick stitch strawberry earrings.

This pattern was completed using a combination of ladder stitch, single and two drop brick stitch (as with many of my other patterns).  A foundation row is created using a ladder stitch with two beads in each row.  The rest of the beadwork is completed using either a single or two bead brick stitch.  It's another really good beginner's project because there are no complicated increases or decreases.  I used round, size 11/o seed beads for the earrings pictured above, but feel free to experiment with the pattern using various sizes and shapes of beads.  Various colors can be used too.  They would look awesome in a sparkly red.

You can get the PDF download for this pattern HERE.

Hope everyone enjoys the new pattern!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Avocado Earrings Beading Pattern

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but...

I have a new beading pattern for you!

This one was inspired by the area where I grew up.  My grandparents lived in a house surrounded by avocado trees, and I have grown up loving them.  In my opinion, there's no better snack than some chips and guacamole!

Anyway...

Here is a pattern for seed beaded/brick stitch avocado earrings.

This pattern was completed using a combination of ladder stitch, single and two drop brick stitch.  A foundation row is created using a ladder stitch with two beads in each row.  The rest of the beadwork is completed using either a single or two bead brick stitch.  It's a really good beginner's project because there are no complicated increases or decreases.  I used round, size 11/o seed beads for the earrings pictured above, but feel free to experiment with the pattern using various sizes and shapes of beads.

Hope everyone enjoys the new pattern!

The Midas Ring

Hi everyone!

Guess what....

I have a fun, new beading pattern for you!

I have been loving glittering gold lately...

so I decided to create this crown ring.  

There are two versions of the pattern.

This pattern is completed using a ladder and brick stitch.  
You will need a beading needle, beading thread, and seed beads.  
I used 11/0, round, silver-lined, topaz seed beads to get the glittering, gold look:)  
I also used 8/0, round, transparent, rose-colored seed beads
 on the tips of the second pattern to get a different look.  
You are free to experiment with different colors and sizes of beads!

You can get the PDF download for this pattern HERE.

Hope everyone enjoys the new pattern!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

It's going to have a nature/garden theme, and I can't wait to share it with you all!

The strawberry earrings above are just a sneak peek!

You can find my first book here.

Getting Ready...and a FREE Beading Pattern!

We have been having some fun getting ready for the 4th of July!

We painted our toenails a couple of days ago...

It was such a pain doing all of the detail with a toothpick!

I saw something similar here today, and it looks like an easier process.

I also made the girls these flag fringe necklaces.

They were super quick and easy to make...

and I put together a pattern to share!

I started by stringing the necklace part with beading wire, but you can use beading thread also.

~basic bead stringing/fringe knowledge is helpful~

You can find the American Fringe Necklace pattern HERE:

Raindrops on Rainbows Beading Pattern

Hi!

I finally wrote out the "Raindrops on Rainbows" beading pattern for you guys. The pattern is done in brick stitch. The finished rainbow could be used as a necklace charm (as pictured below), large earrings, as a little decoration on your purse....or anywhere else that would benefit from a cheerful little rainbow:)

You can find a PDF version of the pattern HERE.

I noticed the link I had to the brick stitch tutorial on my other patterns was no longer working. So, HERE is a new one I found. It's animated, which is kinda cool. HERE is another tutorial with instructions for how to do fringe at the end. I found the instructions HERE to be good too. I start my first row with one bead (after the base/ladder stitch row) more like this tutorial.

For the "chain" part of the necklace in the picture above, I used beading wire and strung seed beads in various sizes in a rainbow color pattern. Also, I used all round size 11/o seed beads for the rainbow. The bead sizes could be changed up to make the rainbow larger or smaller.

You can find other helpful beading info HERE.

The Santa pattern is very special

to me because I created it for my grandma, Nona,

She always wore them at Christmas time!

She was my biggest fan:)

Dying Eggs...and a Sale!

Hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter!

The kids and I had fun dying eggs. We dyed them using food coloring, water...and balsamic vinegar!...

Yes, we used balsamic vinegar, because we were out of white vinegar. I wasn't sure if it would work...but instead it turned out to be a happy accident!

We got beautiful rich colors!

The fun didn't stop with the eggs!

The kids got to do some water color painting as well:)

Love the colors!
