Of all the creative arts, jewelry making is the one that
has always held a special place in my heart. Its not just
about making great handmade jewelry out of beads and
other jewelry supplies, its about creating something
thats unique and expresses your own personal artistic
vision.
Jewelry making ideas can be found anywhere, from
your own backyard to exotic locations around the globe.
And jewelry making supplies arent necessarily limited
to things like beads and traditional jewelry fndings
jewelry making can include materials from other
crafting mediums like fbers, fabrics, and found objects.
Jewelry making techniques can include bead-weaving,
bead stringing, or even mixed-media jewelry techniques
like resin. Its a great testament to the versatility of this
universally-loved creative art!
We love jewelry making, too, so we put together a
collection of six of our favorite jewelry making instructions
just for you to enjoy! Whether you love bead-weaving or
jewelry stringing, youll fnd a combination of techniques
used in these free jewelry patterns for you to make.
Gemstone beads are a favorite jewelry making supply
of bead artists everywhere, and Jean Yates Helen of Troy
Bracelet uses a handful of ethereal period and citrine
briolettes with gold-plated accent beads to create a
stunning bead stringing project.
Some of the best jewelry making projects use a variety of
materials and supplies, like Tina Koyamas Earthy Collage
Necklace. Tis lightweight jewelry making project uses silk
ribbons, brass chain, seed beads, Lucite beads, and a brass
fligree pendant to create a stunning statement necklace
that youll barely know is there!
Make your own jewelry fndings, or use pre-made jewelry
making supplies? You can do both when you make Jean
Campbells TV Star Earrings. Tese great beaded earrings use
a bead stitched bead cap to attach to a pair of freshwater
pearl ear posts. Te perfect mix of handmade and pre-made!
Dustin Wedekinds Klew Drop Necklace is a fusion
of stringing and stitching, two popular jewelry making
techniques for seed beaders. Combining seed beads,
freshwater pearls, and accent beads in the perfect colors
to complement a handmade polymer clay focal bead, this
jewelry making project will teach you how to efectively
create a color palette from a favorite focal bead.
Metal chain is a favorite jewelry making supply of mine,
because it can be used in so many diferent ways! Judi
Mullins Crystal Fusion Necklace combines a beautiful focal
bead with strands of seed beads and metal chain, accented
with just a sprinkling of sparkling crystal beads.
One of the very frst jewelry making projects I ever made
was Judi Woods Bead Links Bracelet. Tis simple beaded
bracelet project mixes easy wire jewelry techniques with
easy peyote stitch panels for an elegant piece of wrist wear
that can go anywhere!
No matter what you love about jewelry making, youre
sure to fnd some fun in these free jewelry patterns.

1: Clasp, ribbons, nuggets, and connector.
Remove 1 link from the textured chain by open-
ing it as you would a jump ring; use it to attach
one half of the clasp to the copper ring. Remove
another textured-chain link and set aside.
Use the ribbons to string 1 twisted ring. Fold the
ribbons in half. Hold the loose ends together and
pass them through the copper ring so they overlap
themselves by 1". Use the sewing needle and thread
to sew the ribbon to itself to secure (Figure 1).
Use 4" of beading wire to string 1 crimp bead
and the previous twisted ring; pass back through
the crimp bead and crimp. String {1 bronze
pearl and 1 copper nugget} three times. String
1 olive pearl, 1 crimp bead, and the narrow end
of the connector; pass back through the crimp
bead and crimp. Use one 5mm jump ring to
attach the other end of the connector to one
end of the textured chain (the link attached to
the jump ring is considered the first link).
2: Central chains and seed beads. Attach
chains and beads to the textured chain:
Flat link/rollo: Remove 1 flat link and its
2 attached jump rings from the flat-link/
rollo chain; attach 1 of the jump rings to the
first link of the textured chain and attach
the other jump ring to 1 twisted ring
(Figure 2a). Remove a second flat link,
including its 2 attached jump rings and
rollo-chain segment; attach this segment to
the middle of the rollo-chain segment on the
remaining flat-link/rollo chain (Figure 2b).
Connect one end of the long flat-link/rollo-
chain length to the previous twisted ring
(Figure 2c); connect the other end to the
remaining twisted ring.
Bead strand: Use a crimp bead to attach 6" of
beading wire to the first link of the textured
chain. Randomly string 4
1
2" of assorted seed
beads and all but 4 copper pearls (set these
aside), 1 crimp bead, and the last twisted
ring added; pass back through the crimp
bead and crimp.
Smooth chain: Attach one end of one 5" piece
of smooth chain to the first link of the tex-
tured chain and the other end of the smooth
chain to the last twisted ring added, opening
and closing the end links as before.
3: Green/copper nuggets and clasp chain.
Attach 5" of beading wire to the last twisted
ring added and string 1 copper pearl, 1 green
nugget, 1 copper pearl, 1 copper nugget, 1 cop-
per pearl, 1 green nugget, 1 copper pearl,
1 crimp bead, and one end of the remaining
piece of smooth chain; pass back through the
crimp bead and crimp. Use one 5mm jump
ring to attach the other half of the clasp to the
other end of the previous smooth chain.
4: Embellishments. Use 1 head pin to string
the matte olive AB leaf; form a wrapped loop
that attaches to the free end of the short
length of flat-link rollo chain added in Step 2
(Figure 3a). Use the copper wire and the cop-
per olive leaf to form a wrapped-loop bail that
attaches to the jump ring below the flat link.
Use the chains jump ring above the flat link
to attach 1 Lucite leaf (Figure 3b).
Use 1 head pin to string the remaining glass
leaf; form a wrapped loop that attaches to
one of the chains as desired. Use 5mm jump
rings to attach the remaining Lucite leaves to
the chains as desired. Use the remaining link
of textured chain set aside in Step 1 to attach
the filigree pendant to the first link of the
textured chain, opening and closing the link
as before.

ee those nify earrings I have on in the photo? Heres how to make them.
Step 1: Using a yard of thread and leaving a 3" tail, pass through the hole of one
of the stones. String enough seed beads to reach to the other side of the
bead. Tie a knot. Pass through the hole again. String enough seed beads to
reach around the remaining side of the bead. Pass through the last bead
strung on the frst side.
Step 2: Work tubular peyote stitch until you reach the top of the bead.
Step 3: Make decreases at each end of the bead until you can stitch the two sides
of the beadwork together.
Step 4: Weave to the center top of the beadwork. String 2 seed beads, 1 post,
and 2 seed beads. Pass through all again several times to secure.
Step 5: Weave down to the frst round of peyote stitch. Create a scalloped
edge by stringing one bead and passing through the next 3 beads to skip
one stitch, and stringing another bead in the next position.
Step 6: Use the toothpick to glue the beadwork to the stone.

his necklace was inspired by one of Klews
polymer beads. I didnt want to mar the bead
with any of my poor wireworking, and yet I
wanted to accent the colors in the bead. I began by
stringing the whole necklace and then embellishing
it with seed beads. Since the focal bead is so light-
weight, I used a magnetic clasp, which makes this
an easy necklace to wear as well as make.
Step 1: Cut the wire to the desired length of your
necklace, plus 6". String one pearl and slide it to
the center. Pass both wires through the bottom
hole of the focal bead, pulling the tip of the pearl
into the hole. If the bead and wire dont tuck up
inside, use a reamer to make the hole a little big-
ger, or use a smaller drop bead.
Step 2: String 4 size 14s, * 2 size 8s, 1 pearl, 2 size
8s, 1 accent bead, 2 size 8s, and 1 pearl on one
wire. Repeat from * to the end of the wire. String
a few more size 8s, a crimp bead, and a jump
ring. Pass back through the crimp and a few size
8s. Repeat for the second wire. Check the neck-
lace for length before crimping the crimp beads
and trimming the wires close to the work.
Step 3: Using a piece of thread as long as is manage-
able, string 15 size 15s. Pass through a jump ring
and tie a knot. Pass through a few of the beads to
pull the knot inside and trim the tail close to the
work. Pass through a size 8 on the base strand.
String enough 15s to reach the next accent bead.
Pass through the accent bead. * String 10 to 12 size
15s and pass through a size 8 between the next
two pearls. String the same number of beads and
pass through the accent bead. Repeat from * until
you reach the center of the necklace. As you near
the focal bead, string enough size 15s to reach the
second wire without pulling them together. Con-
tinue adding 15s up the other side. At the end,
string 15 size 15s, pass through the jump ring,
and back through a size 8.
Step 4: Using a different color, or combination of col-
ors, continue adding size 15s to the base row until
the necklace is as full as you desire. End the
threads by passing into the size 15s, tying a knot,
passing through a few more beads, and trimming
close to the work. It is easiest to begin new threads
at either jump ring.

Step 1: Cut 1" of wire. Use
the pliers to make a loop
in one end. String 2 or 3
crystals and make a loop
in the other end of the
wire, trimming it if neces-
sary (Figure 1). Make sev-
eral of these sets, but dont
use all of the crystals.
Step 2: Add the sets randomly to pieces of chain. Use 2"5"
pieces of chain to make six 7" strands. Open the loops at
the top and bottom of the sets, add the chain to the loop
and then close the loop. Make sure all the loops are closed
tightly. Also make sure that the sets are at different places on
the chain. Add as many as you like, but no less than three.
Cut three 1
3
4" pieces of chain, and also make chain/
crystal combinations that equal 1
3
4". Set
these crystal/chain combinations aside.
P E NDANT
Step 3: Make a loop at one end of a 3" piece of
wire. String a bead cap, the focal bead, and
the other bead cap. Both bead caps should
be facing away from the focal bead (Figure
2). Pull the loop firmly into the bead cap.
Make another loop inside the bead cap at
the other end of the focal bead.
Step 4: Tie a 1-yard piece of thread to the loop at the bottom
of the focal bead and glue the knot. * String 1
3
4" of main
color beads and 3 gold beads. Pass back through the main
color beads. Make two more of these seed bead fringes,
adding crystals randomly. When you have 3 fringes com-
pleted, open the wire loop slightly and add one of the
short chain pieces to the loop. Pass your thread over to
the other side of the chain and knot it to the loop. Repeat
from * until you have a nice lush fringe at the bottom of
your focal bead.
F I NI SHI NG
Step 5: Make a loop at the end of a 3" piece of wire. String a
bead cap so that the loop is in the cup. String a jump ring
and make a hangmans noose with the wire on the other
end of the bead cap. Repeat for the other bead cap.
Step 6: Open the loop inside the cup and string one end of
a 7" chain. Attach the other end of the chain to the loop
on the top of the focal bead. Tie 1
1
2 yards of thread to the
loop at the top of the focal bead. String 7" of beads, incor-
porating seed beads and crystals in a random pattern. Pass
through the bead caps loop so that the seed beads lie next
to the chain. Make sure they are of equal lengths and then
tie a knot. Make another 7" seed-bead length going down
from the bead cap end to the focal bead end. Tie onto the
loop above the focal bead. Add another length of chain
from the bead cap to the focal bead. Keep adding chain
or seed bead lengths alternately until the necklace reaches
the fullness you desire.
Repeat Step 6 for the other side of the necklace. Attach
an S-hook to the split rings on the twisted loops.

Step 1: Using a yard of thread and leaving a 4" tail,
string a tension bead. String the first nine-bead
row of the chart. String the first bead of the next
row and pass back through the second-to-last
bead. Work peyote stitch to the end of the row.
Step 2: Decrease each
row down to one

path. When you are down to one bead, pass back
through the previous row to exit the last point
bead again. String
1
4" French wire and a jump ring.
Pass through the last bead and the wire again to
secure. Weave back through the edge beads to
reach the first row.
Step 3: Continue following the chart and checking
Figure 2 for the odd-row turns.
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 to decrease and add a jump ring
at the other end. Weave the tail threads into the
beads and trim close to work.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 14 to make four links. Use the
pliers to join the jump rings. Add one half of the
clasp to each end.
To create another look, use the pliers to make a
loop at the end of the 26-gauge wire. String three
crystals, cut the wire to
3
8" beyond the crystals, and
make another loop. Connect the links together with
the jump rings in the wire loops.

This stitch can also be referred to as
gourd stitch.
One-drop peyote begins by stringing an
even number of beads to create the frst two
rows. Begin the third row by stringing one
bead and passing through the second-to-
last bead of the previous rows. String anoth-
er bead and pass through the fourth-to-last
bead of the previous rows. Continue adding
one bead at a time, passing over every other
bead of the previous rows.
Two-drop peyote is worked the same
as above, but with two beads at a time
instead of one.
T U B U L A R P E Y O T E S T I T C H
String an even number of beads to ft
in a circle around a tube. Make a foun-
dation circle by passing through all the
strung beads twice more, exiting from the
frst bead strung. String 1 bead and pass
through the third bead of the foundation
circle. String 1 bead and pass through the
ffh bead of the foundation circle. Con-
tinue adding 1 bead at a time, skipping
over 1 bead of the frst round, until you
have added half the number of beads of
the frst round. Exit from the frst bead
of the second round. Slide the work onto
the form. String 1 bead, pass through the
second bead added in the second round
and pull thread tight. String 1 bead and
pass through the third bead added in the
second round. Continue around, flling in
the spaces 1 bead at a time. Exit from
the frst bead added in each round.

To make a hidden row-end decrease, pass
through the last bead on a row. Weave your
thread between two beads of the previous
row, looping it around the thread that con-
nects the beads. Pass back through the last
bead of the row just worked and continue
across in regular fat peyote (Figure 1).
To make a mid-project decrease, simply
pass thread through two beads without
adding a bead in the gap. In the next row,
work a regular one-drop peyote over the
decrease. Keep tension taut to avoid holes
(Figure 2).

To form a simple loop, use fat-
nose pliers to make a 90 bend at
least
1
2" from the end of the wire.
Use round-nose pliers to grasp the
wire afer the bend; roll the pliers
toward the bend, but not past it, to pre-
serve the 90 bend. Use your thumb to
continue the wrap around the nose of the
pliers. Trim the wire next to the bend.
Open a simple loop by grasping each side
of its opening with a pair of pliers. Dont
pull apart. Instead, twist in opposite direc-
tions so that you can open and close with-
out distorting the shape.
To form a wrapped loop, begin with a 90
bend at least 2" from the end of the wire.
Use round-nose pliers to form a simple loop
with a tail overlapping the bend. Wrap the
tail tightly down the neck of the wire to cre-
ate a couple of coils. Trim the excess wire to
