SKILL LEVELS – we offer projects in a variety of skill levels to make it easier for you to be successful in learning a new technique or stitch. It is common to be advanced in one technique and a complete beginner in another. Search projects that have the stitch-type and level you are comfortable with, and move up at your own speed.
Beginner and Beginner Friendly are the most basic steps and details. Lots of diagrams, graphics, and details!
Advanced Beginner – Slightly less definitions and more options to customize.
Intermediate – Take those basic skills and run with them! Variations, options and more WHY a stitch works and HOW to use it.
Advanced – You know how a stitch works now lets shake things up! Add variety, change direction, throw in different bead shapes, and challenge the construction process a little.
PROJECTS
Instantly downloadable PDF instruction files are available any time you are eager to bead. Simply add to cart and the file link will be provided after checkout. Each description shows a list of materials needed, and any other tools you may need (pliers, glue, etc.) I try to make patterns with easy to find materials readily available at craft shops and bead stores, but if you need a shopping referral, see our resources page for recommended sellers.
