Bead loom pattern guide

Design for a narrow grid

Bracelets and bands need a readable design in a narrow space. Start with simple stripes, names, symbols, or repeated motifs.

Convert images carefully

Most photos are too detailed for bead loom patterns. Crop the subject, reduce contrast noise, and edit cells after conversion.

Treat colors as planning references

The bead loom maker uses a starter Delica-style palette. Verify exact Miyuki or Delica product numbers with supplier charts before buying beads.
