r/Beading

Someone said see you in a year for the update, so here is month 11 (i had to take a good 6 months off for my health and surgery, had to go back on tube feeds.. its been rough)

This somehow became a forever project,

Pauldrons, bracers.. its all in the mix now..

I have the corset base mostly done but no finishing touches. Im honestly disappointed in the shape(too square).

I think ill be starting another one, and try to use an actual corset pattern. (Ps the hole is for my feeding tube..)

now she needs friends >:)

Believe it or not, this was my first off-loom piece, and the pattern I had was for the guitar on the right. From the start, I wanted to make a telecaster (on the left), but I started with the Les Paul (right) in order to learn the technique, then I modified it to make the other one. I'm quite proud of myself for figuring it all out. Additionally, the original pattern had it done in peyote stitch, but after seeing a post in here talking about how brick stitch is easier if you have irregular edges, I decided to try that instead. But in order to keep the beads in the same orientation, I just worked it up sideways. Brick stitch was, in fact, loads easier. Not sure I'll ever go back to peyote (or at least odd-count peyote). Though I'll probably go back to tapestries on my mirrix loom. This caused some tendonitis pain and I'd rather not exacerbate that more.

Edit: since so many people are asking, this is the pattern

Vejam q lindo o brinco de pavão q eu fiz 🤩🦚

most beads were thrifted or from dollar tree! still have to figure out how to secure the jumprings so they don’t break :((

yesterday I got stainless steel wire and it’s so hard to work with

Had an inspired late night play with beads and this wonderful mess welcomed me this morning...

Hi, I'm new to beading and lately I've really enjoyed making these tiny frogs ^-^

As you can see though, the black beads I used for the eyes turned out to be white beads with black paint that rubs off quite easily.

This is probably a noob question, but how can I tell when ordering online if the beads are gonna be truly colored or just painted? Do you have any recommendations? Can I trust the popular brands like Miyuki to be a solid color?

Thanks in advance!

Many people have been celebrating Christmas in July recently, so maybe August isn't too early for a Halloween earrings 😁

My own design.

Handmade Beading ✨

A little look at our handmade beading work. Every piece is carefully made by hand with attention to detail. 🧵✨

What do you think of the finishing?

We also take custom & bulk orders. Feel free to DM me for details.

I'm obsessed with making these

Teehee. Just for fun and to be silly. Unfortunately, I can not resist a pun

I picked up bead embroidery a month and a half or so ago for a creative outlet and have gone off the deep end…

Finished this for a friend with some of her favorite veggies and a fun project!

Now see, this is what happens when you tell me I can get 25g of Cylin beads for $4 each 😅

🦋💙

I got this haul of beads for $24 at a local thrift store. The Toho bags alone are 500 grams, probably $100 bags. SCORE.

Hello !

I started learning embroidery with beads at the beginning of july. I really loved the process so I thought that for my second project I wanted to make a bag for my mum’s birthday !

Here is the result 🩵

Approximately +/- 65 hours of work including bead embroidery, making and sewing the bag and metal accessories, making the beaded straps and the bag charm.

Hope this post makes some people inspired to hop on this hobby !
