Create Amazing Bead Designs

Three ways to start

Bead Works meets you where your idea already is

Blank grid, ready-made pattern, or a photo you already have.

Start from a blank grid

Choose your stitch — peyote, brick, loom, gourd, medallion, star, or earring — set your bead size, and Bead Works handles the row-and-column math for you.

Browse ready-made patterns

Jump straight in with a library of example patterns across every supported stitch — customize colors and size without starting from zero.

Create from a photo

Convert a photo into a stitch-accurate pattern, mapped straight to real bead-brand color palettes you already stock.
