Last time I posted a blog about sites with free jewelry patterns, I thought about sites that charge for patterns and instructions. That’s a great way to add revenue to your business, but most experienced jewelry designers can just look at a project and figure out how it’s done.  I really haven’t seen very many that I liked well enough to invest money in.  Unless you are a very famous and accomplished designer, I feel that if you’re going to sell jewelry projects that don’t have a secret special technique that only you can teach, you shouldn’t charge more than a buck or two.

That said, in the process of reading my e-mail newsletters I realized that I receive quite a few from suppliers who have a lot of free projects and ideas on their sites.  I plan to put a list together in the near future, but for now I’ll pass this one on.  As disorganized as I am, it’s a good way for me to make a note to myself, haha.

eeBeads.com has several pages of free jewelry and non-jewelry ideas for using wire and beads.  I’m impressed that the projects are printable, include a list of exactly which supplies you’ll need, what they’ll cost and that the supplies are all available on their site.  They also have beautiful and unique beads and pendants as well as all the findings you can dream of.

Since they are using the patterns as a marketing tool to help them sell their merchandise, there’s no need to charge for them if they bring in sales.  This is a great idea for any business.

Again, have a wonderful Easter and may the seeds you’ve planted blossom in spring and grow toward a bountiful harvest in the fall.

Blessings,

Did you know that Amazon has all this stuff?  I didn’t! and I had a lot of fun hand-picking products.  Have fun browsing:
