SuperUno pattern: the Ruffle Bracelet

New pattern for sale: the Ruffle Bracelet, $4.00 at AroundTheBeadingTable.com and Bead-Patterns.com:

http://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Patterns/Ruffle.html

This pattern uses the new SuperUno beads to create a pretty ruffled edge. SuperUno beads are SuperDuo beads with only one hole (the first two bracelets from the left in the photo use SuperUno beads along the outer edge). You can also use Rizo beads (third bracelet from left), although they tend to be more floppy, or use all two-hole SuperDuo beads (fourth bracelet from left) if you don’t mind empty holes showing along the outer ruffled edge.

SuperUno beads are available for sale at RedPandaBeads.com!

Free crystal bracelet pattern: the Guinevere Bracelet

The Guinevere Bracelet pattern is now free! This would be a great tutorial for those looking to learn right-angle weave. Although I use bicone crystals and glass pearls, any 4mm beads and size 11 seed beads will work. Enjoy!

FREE beaded heart pattern

I just updated my free Heart Pendant pattern so that the heart motif is a little less floppy with a firmer edge and added instructions for a version with a beaded chain. You can find this FREE pattern by clicking on the picture below (downloadable PDF available at the end of the pattern steps).
