New free Tila bead pattern: Tila Stackers!

As the name suggests, Tila Stackers are created using “stacks” of Miyuki Tila beads of any size and color combination. For my step-by-step text instructions and illustrations, I used Tila bead stacks of Quarter and Half Tila beads but as you can see, the other stackers use different stacker variations and the Tila beads used are listed in the Materials List. You will have fun coming up with stacks of your own. The Tila size and color combinations are infinite.

or just click any of the pictures shown. A link to a downloadable PDF is available at the top of the page and links to exact beads used can be found at the end of the Step text.

Free bead pattern: WibeDuo Star Earrings!

 

Create some pretty star earrings using size 11/0 seed beads, 3mm fire-polished beads and Czech WibeDuo beads—8mm star-shaped beads with two parallel holes, a “pillowed” front side and a flat back side.

I beaded up three colorways but this one that uses Metallic Crystal Marine Ice WibeDuo beads one is my favorite:

For the second version, I used some Crystal AB WibeDuo beads. They really catch the light and reflect whatever colors used in the fire-polished and seed beads: 

For the last colorway, I used Backlit Petroleum WibeDuo which, like most of the “backlit” coated beads, are really beautiful but hard to photograph and capture their true beauty:
