About our beading patterns
Great instructions that hold your hand each step of the way!
Each beading pattern features detailed, step-by-step instructions written in a clear, simple conversational style. A full-color close-up photo also accompanies each step, showing what is happening (annotated when applicable to illustrate stitching direction or highlight relevant details). All of our beading patterns also include a detailed materials page that specifies everything you need to make the project (including bead types, sizes, and quantities, as well as any required tools and findings). Most patterns also now include a special notes section, offering helpful tips specific to the design, as well as bead color information for each color scheme.
A detailed materials page
That tells you everything you’ll need to make the project, including bead types, sizes, and quantities of all required beading materials and tools. Check out our next section for helpful tips on how to successfully customize your jewelry.
A bead legend
That shows where each bead is used in the project – which is very helpful if you’re choosing your own color scheme.
Bead color information
All of our newer patterns include detailed bead color information that specifies the type, manufacturer, and color of all beads used in each color sample.
Please note, our earliest patterns did not include such detailed bead color information for each of the color samples we made. If you purchase an older pattern and want color information for a particular jewelry sample, just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
Special notes section
That highlights important things for you to know, or keep in mind, to be successful with the project.
Step-by-step instructions
We write each beading pattern with beginners in mind. Each and every step is explained in detail, so no prior beading experience is ever required.
Photo for each and every step
Each close-up, high-resolution, full-color photo is carefully taken to show exactly what’s happening in the step. We edit every photo to ensure they’re as bright and clear as possible, and often add special annotations for further clarity.
