An Artists Dream: Free Jewelry Making Patterns

Jewelry makers are a passionate sort of people.  They enjoy their craft so much that they are eager to share their ideas and tips with everyone for free.  As such, there are free jewelry making patterns all over the internet for almost any style of project, including free wire jewelry making.  Wire is the internal structure behind almost all types of earrings, necklaces and bracelets, adding to their strength and durability.  Wire is also easy to work with, giving malleability that enables all sorts of shapes and patterns to be achieved and held for long periods of time.

Types of Patterns

There are many different free jewelry making patterns on the market, which allows the individual to pick the one that best fits her tastes or the tastes of her clients and friends.  There are different types of earring patterns, such as that for crystal cube earrings which have two strands that dangle below whatever color and shape the main crystal is at the top of the earring.  Other crystals hang at the bottom of the strands, giving a fun and sassy look to the earrings.

There are some other post earrings that can be found in free jewelry making patterns that are not the type that dangle beneath the ear.  Instead, these earrings have a central ’stone’ or bead, with smaller colored beads that are threaded around it, giving the end appearance the shape of a flower in whatever colored beads were chosen.

There are beautiful free jewelry making patterns for brooches on the market today.  Brooches usually have a base metal that includes the pin that holds the brooch to clothing as well as the general shape of the brooch.  The beadwork goes on top of the brooch and is what gives the brooch its color and character, giving the jewelry making plenty of options to express their creativity in the brooch.

In addition to brooches and earrings, the most common free jewelry making patterns are for necklaces and bracelets. These are the best starting places for beginners since single strand beaded necklaces and bracelets are very simple, only requiring the pattern of beads be added to the strand and then the appropriate clasp be chosen and attached to the wire in order to secure it.  This gives the beginner practice using the basic beading tools, such as the crimper, which takes a little while for the beginner to get used to using.  Once the single strand is mastered, then the beginner can move on to other free jewelry making patterns in necklaces and bracelets such as the beaded chain bracelet, which has a pattern of waved beads within a ‘railroad’ like bracelet form.
