Here’s my take on beaded Christmas decorations. It is a lovely pair of Christmas tree earrings and a Christmas tree decoration. I love the Christmas tree earrings, they look lovely on, as you can see in the picture below. You can find the tutorial here.

I hope everyone is fine out there!

I’ve made a sweet bracelet and pair of earrings, with only 15/0s, bugles and rivolis: I love it when I manage to make something beautiful with only a handful of materials.

Be Happy!

I’ve decided to publish also some free video tutorials, again! I’ve missed doing that, it’s such a joy making a video tutorial, almost like being in a class, much better than writing it – it feels  less lonely, if you know what I mean.

The project is a pair of earrings made bezelling a 10mm Swarovski rivoli, with 15/0 round seed beads from Miyuki, using the netting technique and then embellishing with picots – quite simple and fast to make. Happy beading!

Another beading project from me! I’ve finally tried the new Zoliduo bead. I only had a small package of them, as I only bought enough to try them out. Because of their shape, I thought they would look nice around a bezelled stone, so that’s what I did.

The pattern works with one side zoliduos (either one). However, you could use both sides (one side per earring) and make a pair of specular earrings.

The component is quite easy and fast to do, so if you’re in search of ideas for the Christmas gifts, this is one you should consider: I’m sure they’d be very appreciated gifts.

New beading project from me. As you probably remember, my previous beady project was a lovely beaded chain. So, this new necklace is made using a quasi identical chain to which I’ve added some lovely flowers. The flowers are made bezeling and embellishing 14mm Swarovski rivolis with only Miyuki 15/0 seed beads. I hope you’ll like it!

I’ve made a lovely necklace that looks very much like a beaded butterfly chain. I’ve only used Miyuki round 15/0s and Swarovski bicones. And of course I’ve also made a pair of matching earrings!

The whole chain is made with 15/0 round seed beads from Miyuki and 3mm Swarovski bicones: I really love how it turned out! To see more pictures, click on the pictures to go to the tutorial page.

Happy beading!
