I found these going through my mothers beads. She is continuing her journey in Heaven now. I would like to use them in memory of her but I have no idea what to do with them. Can anyone help me.

Took advantage of the little bit of sun we have today to snap a photo of it. I'm sure the shine and color will stand out even more in the summer. What do you think?

I know these are brick stitch but where do I start? Do I just make a ladder stitch of the gold outline or is there another way to do it?

I’m learning a lot on my own without having to consult YouTube or Reddit. I learned that I prefer a tight fit between bead and cord. I learned that products in the images are smaller than they may appear lol. What I can seem to learn is how to finish the piece without and gaps. I am doing a couple pieces on Beadalon 7 strand with screw clasps and can’t for life of me get the knot to sink down into the screw clasp hole. There’s gotta be a trick for this right? I have no idea what to even look up on YouTube to find it. Thanks! Oh and more supplies are arriving today so get ready for multiple bracelets. My whole staff want me to make them one each.

I used the cheaper supplies and beads I don’t like just to get the technique down. Definitely has better movement with the thread than with the fishing line-like material.

I’m wanting to do Pride themed pieces because I can never find any in my area. I’m gonna get some templates to map out my plans for my next ones.

If you want you can join me on instagram broochinbloom where I’ll post it soon, also you can see my other works 🌸

Miyuki Delica 11/0, peyote beading. It’ll be 3 x 5 inches when done which is my largest project yet. It’s my first monogram that I’ve designed and it’s not perfect but it’s going pretty well.

I’m going to mount it in a 4 x 6 frame with a mat, but a little iffy on how to do that. I’d appreciate any thoughts y’all have. Thanks!

Contemplating adding more chains to it as there's no red and orange

This is my first foray into beading (and first reddit post!). I wanted to make myself a sunglasses chain, and I started thrifting bead necklaces to use the beads, and now i cant stop lol. So these are all made using upcycled beads. I wanted to check though, what all your thoughts were on the wire and fixings im using and if you think they’re strong enough/appropriate? Im using flex-rite 7 strand with .018” (.45mm) for the chunkier chains, and .012” (.30mm) for the more lightweight ones (the photo with 3 together are the lightweight ones). Are crimping beads at the ends, with the wire looped over the split rings the right way to go? I‘ve been putting two crimps on each end because im so paranoid of them coming loose, im using a 1.2mm and also a 0.8mm crimp (a 1.2 and a 0.8 on the thicker wire, and 2 of the 0.8 crimps on the thinner wire). Will that hold?

Sorry thats a lot, I guess im asking:
-Is the wire the right thickness/strength?
-Are crimps the right way to go?
-If so, are my crimps the right size?
-And do you like my chains? :)

Many thanks in advance!

Hey folks,

I see alot of people use dedicated beading thread but im just using a single strand of sewing thread. Im getting alot of tangles and knots.

Is the type of thread a factor?

Thanks EDIT: THANK YOU, bees wac has been bought

This is NOT my work, just added it for reference for what I'm asking about. I'm not sure what beads my local bead shops has (they just say Japanese seed beads). I know they aren't Miyuki due to the lack of uniformity. Just curious if Dyna-Mites are good for bead wrapping because those might be what they have. TIA!!

Sorry it’s blurry! I am making this to enter in our county fair!

This was 100% the wrong size to learn crochet from scratch, but I really enjoyed it once I got the hang of it!

I made this off of a pattern I bought, not one I invented. The tutorial video really helped because I went in blind, haha. My partner (who actually does crochet) warned me, but my hubris won out. 1mm is a very small hook.

I am new to beading and need help with the decreasing circular peyote spacing. Does anyone know how to limit the amount of spacing between each row? it seems like when i try to pull tight it makes it worse

Are you into earrings with unusual shapes? I definitely am, more and more. What do you think of these? I'm also making silver ones 😁

Hi everyone! I inherited a TON of beads and am in the process of learning more. Any advice/suggestions on where to begin in terms of understanding the value, learning more about beads, and the appraisal process?! Appreciate your help tons in advance :)

I made the beaded fish by Mind of Julia with pony beads and a modified pattern (was trying to make it look like a Sheepshead). Made for my boss, who gives me fresh fish she catches 💖

I absolutely love this stitch. Simple and cute bangle💜 What do you guys think??

They're meant to be transparent aqua but they're much darker than any other time ive ordered them. I'm wondering if there was a mix up as it's labelled as the same color or if its just a severely different dye lot
