Hi, I have various lengths of clear nylon stringing that are ruining my life.

I cut off lengths to make jewellery, but as soon as I look away from the pile it seems to tangle up around anything in a 50m radius.

I have tried wrapping some of it around my hand into a little bundle but that makes the string all kinky.

I am begging anyone to give me storage ideas.

I don’t know why I bought so much string

These are my 2 latest pieces! I genuinely love the pop of colour and how they look. Will try to get a better shot in the sun tomorrow.
My last few pieces I’ve under sold my work and time. Only because I know it won’t go at a higher price at the markets. I should do online but don’t make enough stock to have an online store front. I do well at markets because of my personality and how engaging I can be but finding the right person willing to spend more than $50 on earrings this day and age is hard.

The purple ones took me about 3-4 hours and the multi coloured was about 2-3 hours. These are Miyuki beads and the multi coloured ones are faceted. They will look great in the sun

I just finished it and I’m super proud!

I am now in possession of an onkey.

There’s this animator on instagram nobey.one who made this little cartoon monkey that I adore.

Design inspired by the brown widow in my window :)

Hello beaders! ❤️

I'd love to share one of my geometric designs with you, the Ruffle Bangle! I really enjoy this style of beadwork, and I'd love to know, do you enjoy making and wearing bangles too? 🥰

This is not my photo. I want to know how to make this little guy- so desperately. This is the only picture I can find on the internet of it. I’m new to beading so I don’t have the knowledge to free hand it:( does anyone have any ideas or tips??? TIA.

I had a lot of fun figuring out a good pattern for this different beads! The iridescent light blue ones look so magical on camera ✨

As a 2D pixel artist, I’ve always wanted to find a way to bring pixel art into real life. Billy is my favorite character in ZZZ, so I figured he’d be the perfect for my very first IRL project!

I decided to try Miyuki bead weaving for the first time to make this.

Since these beads are tiny and perfectly uniform, they literally act like physical pixels on a grid.

Its currently %95 done, I'm thinking what to do with the excess threads, hope you like it <3

Small note: I drew the pattern myself in Aseprite.

At what point do you admit to yourself that this is more than a hobby? Asking for a friend 😆

People keep telling me I should commercialize my stuff, but I'm not sure when that actually starts to make sense. What do people think out there?

I love 3D peyote, and I love cute characters. I also want to support artists in the beading space who can provide me with such cuteness. I paid my friend (who I'm not mentioning without her permission) for license to use this to create a beading pattern. I'd love to name the ghost :D. Any suggestions?

A beautiful blend of pinks, purples, champagne and stars. What do you think?

What would I search for to find beads cut like this? It’s like they made gemstones but then top drilled them. Nothing I search for gives me these exact beads. Just teardrop briolettes and top drill Freeform beads. Any help as to the actual verbiage or places that have them would be so appreciated!!

The little flames were tedious but love the final piece! Pattern by handsofjulia.

Hi everyone!

I'm a man who got diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis so I'll be spending most of the winter at home and need something to occupy my mind and I love necklaces. I usually make simple beaded necklaces, but loom beading seems a bit overwhelming since I'm not particularly crafty. From what I've learned in other posts, investing in higher-quality beads is important.

I understand that we're not allowed to link to specific stores here, but I'd really appreciate any advice on what to look for.

I will start with beginner-friendly patterns on youtube, making earrings and bracelets to begin with. I have no idea how many different colours I should buy or how many beads in total weight.

I'm based in Europe, and my budget is around €100.

If anyone would be kind enough to guide me through a few questions or recommend a beginner's kit and the essential supplies I should get, I'd be incredibly grateful! I'd love to place an order tonight and get started asap.

Thank you so much for helping a complete beginner out!
good weekend.

I am making this purse, attached is my inspo for the design. I have since removed the light blue and dark blue lines below the bulge beads. I disliked the contrast and did not want to continue wasting time. Please any suggestions for color, links to specific products ... Everything would be helpful! I do like the idea of swapping to round beads for the remainder of the "ocean". I am very loosely following the inspo pic, clearly 😂

Hey! I’ve made this puffin piece from a pattern from Carol Paris/bumblebead on Etsy! But she uses a oetal shaped bead i do not know how to source and so i wanted to make one out of my 11/0 TOHO treasure beads (as thats what i used for the piece)! Are anyone here knowledgeable enough to make up a pattern for a simple foot, ca 1,3 cm x1 cm? Or just how to build up a triangle shape with brick or peyote stitch :) thank you!!!

Pictures is also the foot i tried making but i don’t like it and i 100% can recreate it!
