Our carrier bead necklace pattern will teach you how to make this bold and beautiful blended carrier necklace finished off with an elegant 2-strand slide clasp, so it’s easy to put on and take off. This smooth 3-color blended necklace design alternates between single and double-wide carrier beads for even more visual interest.

What are “carrier beads”? Well, bead manufacturers have created two-holed beads that are designed to be covered with other beads! Yep, beads wrapped within beads! They’re called “carrier beads” because they “carry” other beads.

This is a great design for beaders of all skill levels, including absolute beginners, that teaches both peyote bead stitching and bead stringing techniques. Be sure to check out the coordinating Blended Carrier Bracelet pattern for a super classy, blended ensemble.

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.
