Beaded Bracelet Project

Beading is a great hobby that is enjoyed by millions, and covers everything from beaded jewelry to clothing embellishments and gourd art. There are many available resources online to find free beading and jewelry making patterns. Projects available range in difficulty from beginners to advanced beaders. Here's a few of my favorite beading sites:

      Bead-patterns.com is obviously a site dedicated to various beading projects. While they do sell patterns and e-books, they also have a nice selection of free-to-print projects like the jeweled earrings made with bicones, the Wheel of Fortune necklace, a Star of David pattern that can be used as an ornament, pendant, suncatcher, or charm, and more.

      BeadandButton.com is the online site for the magazine of the same name. Click on the Project tab to find free projects like the bugle cluster bracelet using ladder stitches, or the pearl earrings made with a peyote stitch.

      Barefoot Summer Sandals

      At The Beading Emporium, check out the .pdf format project sheet for Bare Foot Summer Sandals - an intermediate project for those with previous wireworking experience. They've also got great tutorials for beading techniques.

      Happy beading!
