This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for three earring designs, plus instructions for one more variation not shown, and matches my Any Bead Bracelet pattern. As with the bracelet, I call this pattern the "Any Bead Earrings" because you can use any 4mm beads (round beads, druks, glass pearls or gemstones, bicone crystals or fire-polished beads) and any two-hole beads (Twins, SuperDuos, Czechmates, Czechmate Bricks, Rulla or Tila beads) to create many different earrings from just one pattern design. And when you have exhausted all possible combinations, substitute 3mm beads or size 6/0 seed beads for the 4mm beads for even more variations.

FREE pattern using Czech Beadstuds: the Pyramid Band

There's a new bead in town! 

Czech Beadstuds are two-hole, pressed glass beads shaped like pyramids. The larger Beadstuds, used in my free pattern—the Pyramid Band—measure 12mm square and 9mm in height. These beads are heavier and thicker than other Czech two-hole beads and come in some lovely Czech finishes.
