Even though it is not yet Thanksgiving, I was thinking ahead toward the holidays and wanted to make some 3-D Christmas Tree earrings using twin beads. I figured if I searched online I might find a pattern or at least an idea for its construction. To my surprise, after an exhaustive search, I didn’t find anything like what I had in mind. What I did find was either 2-D, not made from twin beads, or too large for my taste to be an earring. So I decided to work out a pattern for a small twin-bead 3-D Christmas Tree myself and share it with you all! The secret to stabilizing the tiers of the tree so that they don’t shift off-center is the “hidden” bicone crystal placed between the middle and bottom tiers. The shape of that crystal helps both tiers remain centered around the post, while being only about 5% visible. I was so happy with how the first pair turned out, I immediately experimented with other color combinations. I found the pattern worked with either twin beads (like the gold and green examples) or Superduo beads (like the silver and dark blue examples). The Superduo beads seemed to make a slightly “fatter” tree, as the tiers had a little shallower bowl shape than the twin beads. The last pair I made were the gold trees, where I decided to make a wrapped loop instead of just a simple loop on the last step. That worked really well to hold the pieces more tightly on the post, and in hindsight, I probably would have done all of them like that. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Tutorial

I searched for some beading inspirations again. I found a few free beading patterns and diagrams that I myself would like to try and re-create. I hope my taste in design will pass your exquisite taste and style ðŸ™‚

First, I found this cute beaded star at Pinterest ðŸ™‚ Looks easy to make and even without any instructions, if you’ve done beadweaving before you can easily follow the pictoral step by step. Not sure who the author is but i think she did a great job!

This 2nd pictoral step by step I chose to share is the Beads Tile Bracelet I found at UsefulDIY.com. The pictures are kind of small but the design looks beautiful. A great idea how to use square shapes. You can even make a matching ring ðŸ™‚

The Beads Tile Bracelet is created using Peyote Stitch. This is similar to how you would do a 3D Beaded Triangle I shared HERE before. To make a square shape you need to string the number of beads divisible by 4, numbers such as 16, 24 and 36 so that when you add your corner beads you’ll have 4 sides like that of a square. Maybe next time I’ll teach you how to make flat Peyote square ðŸ™‚ If you’ve done 3D triangles with Peyote you can easily follow the pictoral steps HERE for Beads Tile Bracelet

I found this at a Russian website but don’t worry, the steps are in English LOL. The steps are shots, taken from magazine pages. If you zoom the images a bit you’ll be able to read the instructions. SEE TUTORIAL HERE

…and these I like ðŸ™‚

I found these patterns from abalorios,net. They are brickstitch pattern for making earrings. We learned the basics of Increased Brickstitch HERE and Decreased Brickstitch HERE. You’ll be able to follow these diagrams for making earrings that you’ll find HERE
