Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Earrings, Necklace, Pin Beading Pattern #359

We recently saw the movie “Coco” and were inspired to create some cheerful Sugar Skull jewelry.  While shaped peyote is typically a bit challenging, we show you how to stitch up every row, and how to do every turn around on this Sugar Skull bead pattern - making this “Day of the Dead” project suitable for beaders of all skill levels - including absolute beginners.  We also show you how to finish off each Sugar Skull design, including how to attach the pin back for the brooch, how to make a chain necklace for the Sugar Skull pendant and how to attach the ear wires for the Sugar Skull earrings.

The Sugar Skull earrings are made up using 15/0 seed beads and are a perfect size for dangle earrings measuring nearly 1” (2.5 cm) wide and 1.25” (3.2 cm) tall (not counting the jump ring or ear wire). The Sugar Skull necklace pendant and brooch are both stitched up using 11/0 seed beads and are a nice size, measuring 1.25” (3.2 cm) wide 1.75 (4.4 cm) tall.

This simple Sugar Skull beading pattern includes a detailed materials page, color information, over 110 high-resolution full-color photos and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions.  You'll have fun stitching up these colorful and quirky Sugar Skulls that you’ll be able to wear and enjoy year after year. Here’s to remembering our loved ones with a joyful heart, and, as always, beading happy!

What's Included

The beading patterns offered on this website are written in English. We offer translated beading patterns in French, German, Italian, and Spanish on our Etsy shop - just look for images with country flags at the top.  Please note that all products are downloadable beading instructions that will teach you how to make the sample item shown above.  Nothing will be shipped to your physical address (as it is for downloadable instructions only and does not include any tangible materials or finished pieces of jewelry). 

Each of our beading patterns includes a detailed Materials Page that clearly specifies everything you'll need on-hand to make the project (including bead types, sizes, and quantities, as well as any required tools and/or findings).  Each beading pattern features detailed, step-by-step instructions that are written in a clear, simple conversational style.  A full-color close-up photo accompanies each step showing exactly what's happening.

Materials & Quantities Needed

Your purchased beading tutorial will include a detailed materials list of everything you'll need to make this project, including quantities and, in most cases, color information (see more about Bead Color Information below).

Substituting with Different Beads or Beading Materials

Many of our designs can be made using comparable beading materials. For example, if our pattern calls for 4mm round pearls, in most cases, you can use different types of 4mm round beads instead (such as 4mm round fire polished beads). Please note: If the pattern is for a bead weaving (or stitched) project, it's typically not recommended to use different sizes of beads than those recommended, as the original design may not work out as intended. You may also substitute recommended materials with your preferred brand (for example using Nymo vs. FireLine thread) unless otherwise noted for a specific reason. For example, if we specifically recommend using TOHO seed beads with a particular project, the project may not work out as well if you substitute and use Delica seed beads instead (which differ in shape).

Bead Color Information

We provide detailed information about the bead colors used for each of the color samples shown above on the Bead Legend / Color Key (or similarly named page) in your purchased pattern. If the tutorial you purchased does not include detailed color information for a particular color sample we used, we apologize (a few of our earliest patterns did not include this information and we no longer have those beads to reference, or they were discontinued by the manufacturer). If this is the case, please feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to provide you with general color descriptions. Be sure to let us know which particular color sample you're most interested in.
