Create Amazing Bead Designs

Bead Works turns a blank grid, a photo, or an idea into a stitch-accurate pattern for peyote, brick, loom, gourd, medallion, star, and earring designs — then keeps your whole stash in sync.

One pattern, everywhere you bead

Pick it up on one device.
Keep stitching on the next.

Bead Works is rolling out across platforms, one strand at a time.

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.
