Are you looking for a few new beading project ideas for the fall
and winter season? If you’ve never ventured into the realm of Swarovski crystal
beads, you’re missing out
on some seriously swanky-looking yet surprisingly affordable designs. What new
items might you add to your inventory or gift options this year?
Swarovski Pearl and Crystal Bracelets
These frosty tones of Swarovski pears and shimmering clear
crystals give these bracelets a cool, wintry appeal. To make this bracelet,
you’ll need a strip of jewelry wire cut to a 10-inch length. Next, slide a
crimp bead/smasher onto the end of the jewelry wire. Follow the crimp
bead/smasher with a jump ring, attaching it to half of the clasp. Bring
the wire back through the tube, then fix it into place with crimping wires,
hiding it with a crimp cover. Use the following pattern for the design:
- Your
choice of Bali silver spacers
- Your
favorite shade of 8mm Swarovski
curved pearls or round pearls
- Another
Bali silver spacer
- One
cream or white Swarovski curved or round pearl
- A Bali
silver spacer and ring spacer
- One
10mm Swarovski
round beads in Crystal AB
- A Bali
silver spacer and ring spacer
- One
cream or white Swarovski curved or round pearl
For a more wintry feel, choose cool blue or grey tones. When
complete, slide a crimp bead/smasher onto the end of the jewelry wire. Follow
the crimp bead/smasher with a jump ring, attaching it to half of the
clasp. Bring the wire back through the tube, then fix it into place with
crimping wires, hiding it with a crimp cover.
Swarovski Dangle Earrings
These simply designed yet stunning earrings feature Swarovski
rondelles and balls and are sure to be a conversation starter this holiday
season. Graduating sizing and sparkling Swarovski crystals capture the
eye.
- Begin
with a coiled
gold-filled earwire.
- Add one 12mm Silver Shade Swarovski
Briolette,
making a wrap looped at the bead’s top to create a briolette link.
- Slide your choice of
5-8mm Swarovski rhinestone ball onto an eye pin, making a
simple loop at the top and attaching it to your briolette link. A
similarly sized Swarovski crystal round pearl may also be used.
- Finish with a 2mm gold-filled round bead, attaching it to the briolette
link.
- Repeat the steps for the
second earring.
Change up bead colors or metals, using silver or rose gold
for a fresh take on the design.
