Bead Works runs on a variety of platforms. Here are a few examples of what you can create!
The full editor, right in your pocket.
Runs entirely in the browser — sign in and your designs sync straight to Drive.
A quick look at creating patterns, and the tools behind them — from a photo to a print-ready guide.
Featuring real patterns — a monarch butterfly, a bold medallion, and more - using Mirror for instant symmetry, converting a photo into a pattern, and exporting a print-ready beading guide.
Blank grid, ready-made pattern, or a photo you already have.
Choose your stitch — peyote, brick, loom, gourd, medallion, star, or earring — set your bead size, and Bead Works handles the rest. Just starting out? Check the Tutorial for help.
Jump straight in with a library of example patterns across every supported stitch — customize colors and size without starting from zero.
Convert a photo into a stitch-accurate pattern, mapped straight to real bead-brand color palettes.
Save to Google Drive and pick up a design on your phone, tablet, or the web without missing a row.
Take a clean, gridded pattern to the workbench — no squinting at a phone screen mid-stitch.
Track what's in your stash and let Bead Works build the shopping list for what a pattern still needs.
The full app, fully localized — más disponible para más beaders.
Weave with Delica, Rocaille, or Toho — or design pegboard patterns in real Perler, Hama, or Artkal colors, rendered as true round fuse beads with a punched center, not just recolored squares.
Label designs by status or project — Gift, In Progress, whatever fits — and filter your growing library in a tap.
Try it out and provide feedback to make this the best beading app for real beaders!
