Beaded Beads

Use the diagrams below to create beaded beads using peyote stitch or brick stitch!

Visit our primers or download our printable PDF’s to learn these stitches. Try some of

these patterns, or create your own using our peyote stitch and brick stitch graph pa-

per. When you’ve stitched your beadwork, create a paper core (like a lollipop stick)

then stich your beadwork around it. Close the ends with a circular weave as shown in

the diagrams below.

To create a paper core, cut a strip of ordinary copy paper

about the same width as your beadwork. Roll the paper into

a tight tube as shown. If necessary, secure an additional strip

of paper to the growing core with transparent tape. When

you’re satisfied with the size, use transparent tape to secure

the core. Make sure the center hole of the core is an appro-

priate size for the thread or fiber you plan to use.

Line up the bead edges and

stitch the beadwork around

the paper core. If you want

to enclose the ends of your

beaded bead with beads,

use the diagrams at right

as a guide for weaving in

beads.
