Every design begins one of three ways: a blank grid you build stitch by stitch, a ready-made example pattern you customize, or a photo you convert straight into a pattern. Pick whichever matches what's already in your head — or your camera roll.
Choose your stitch — peyote, brick, loom, gourd, medallion, star, or earring — set your bead size and brand, and start painting. The toolbar along the bottom handles painting, fill, selection, and more as you go.
Sign in with Google to save your design to Drive and pick it up on another device — phone, tablet, or the web. Skip this entirely if you'd rather just work locally; nothing about the app requires an account.
Export a clean, print-ready PDF for the table next to your beading mat. Track what's in your stash under Inventory, and let Bead Works build the shopping list for whatever a pattern still needs.
