Beaded Beads

You can create larger beads to match a project, build your own fasteners, or use them on there own as a centrepiece in their own right.

payote stitch

With this stitch that we use to make mesh on a larger scale, we can also create a solid fabric that is more flexible than some.

Rosettes

Rosettes are created around a centre bead outwards, and can be flower-like pins, delicate motifs to join for a neck piece, and small bold bulls-eyes to hang from earrings.

Baubles

jazz up an ordinary-looking bauble into something astonishing using seed beads and bugles.

Tassels

Using seed beads, sieves and donut beads, create tassels with festive charm, or just plain fun!

Square stitch chains

A versatile and satisfying technique, Square stitch is a way of building up a beaded fabric without a beading loom, and can be put to many uses. We shall be making thin hoops, and linking them together, rather like a paper chain, or creating a ring to embellish.
