Does anyone know what this large type of piece in beading is called? ideally with 3 openings? i’m having a hard time searching to find the answer. thank you!

Don’t believe me? Just watch ✨

super pleased with my mini tapestry! it came together in a couple hours

I thought I’d decorate my tree with a star… then thought, why not decorate the star with a few trees? And round we go! 😅🎄⭐😄🎄

OMG, I think I just hit the beading jackpot!!! 🤩 ALL of this for $50!!!
The seller and her mom used to be into beading, but they haven’t had much time for it lately and decided to downsize. And OMG, there is SO MUCH STUFF!!! Seed beads (Miyuki, Toho, Czech…), crystal bicones (including a WHOLE BAG of Swarovski crystals!! The last pic), findings, wires, threads… you name it!
I almost fainted when I saw everything lol. I still can’t believe my luck! Can’t wait to start using all these goodies in my projects!!

Hello everyone! This is my first time beading. I’m attaching felt to my needlepoint and I embellishing the border with beads. What is the reason why they go between sideways orientation and upright?

I also don’t like how they’re not in a straight line, but I’m hoping if I press it flat it’ll lay straighter.

Just wanting some tips for when I try again. Thanks!

I’m working on a bracelet that is using Miyuki half tila in metallic dark bronze. I’ve used some super duos in past that had a gold finish that wore off with the first wearing. Anyone have any experience with these tilas?

I kinda like it. Temporary vase.

As an adult who still loves cartoon,these were so fun to make

This suncatcher gives off so much sparkle. It's gorgeous and hard to pick up just how pretty it is on camera. I can't wait until it's done.

Making tiny fruit charms out of Miyuki beads. Mostly, they're peyote stitch, but the dragonfruit requires a little bit of brick stitch for the green bits.

I haven't marked down a proper pattern other than on beadographer.com, but they're fairly simple. I may write down actual patterns for them if I get the time, if anyone would interested.

Hi guys! Just wanted a place to show off the beaded fish keychains that I’ve been working on. It’s been pretty stressful at work so making these fish have been my distraction from that 🙂‍↕️ I’d love some recommendations for different colors to do when I make more and whether you like the round beaded fish or the delica beaded fish better!

Pattern is from mindofjulia off Etsy!

DISCLAIMER: I’m not affiliated with this site at all! I’m just a gal who loves a good deal and couldn’t find much info on the site before I decided to try it out!

I’ve been casually browsing XYZbeads.com because their prices are just insane compared to US-based retailers, but the cost of shipping from China ends up almost negating the savings. Well, they had a huge promo during their national holiday week, and I ended up paying $12 total for UPS shipping.

100 grams of Miyuki delicas
100 grams of 8/0 Miyuki rocailles
1350 grams of 11/0 Miyuki rocailles
Total = $160 for beads + $12 shipping

I’m hoping that they run another similar deal during Lunar New Year because these prices are honestly unbeatable.

I will say, I can’t vouch for the majority of the website — I’m only comfortable sourcing findings and wire from US shops. But I took a pretty close inspection of the beads, and they seem to be the real deal (not counterfeit) as far as I can tell. I already owned most of the colors, so I could do a 1:1 comparison. Since I mostly use Miyuki for 80-90% of my work (and use Preciosa for the rest of it), I’ll definitely be coming back!

One note: of the 31 bags, 1 did leak in transit. It was contained in the big zipper bag, and I’m glad it was just a single color. It would have been hella frustrating to end up with a bunch of bead soup 🙈 but honestly not the worst damage I’ve ever seen. I’ve only ever purchased 6 bags of Cylins (John Bead) and 4 of them exploded in transit 🙃

My beading friend Karen made a lady version of Sir Nisse Hugstersen! Isn’t she adorable with those lovely braids? 🥰

I’ve been super into Danny Elfman recently and the skeletons on his album covers. And I thought this was a cute idea. :)

Has anyone tried a kit from BobbleSprig? The website has a vaguely AI-edited look to it, but their Instagram does show the kits being made and they look legit.
