Pick a palette, then make it yours.

Same pattern, same bead count, a different palette. Choose a bracelet or a pair of earrings and a colourway, see the finished piece straight away, and carry it on in the editor as your own draft.

Opens as your own draft. Nothing to sign up for.
The 3D view starts when you scroll here.

See it in 3D before you thread a needle.

Lay a bracelet flat with its end bars and clasp, wrap it around a wrist, or drape it over a curve. Hang an earring from its ear wire and turn it over to see its edges. Drag to turn either in your hand; stray beads and awkward repeats are easy to spot from the side.

Sizes come from real bead dimensions, so the chart is a close guide to the finished length of a bracelet and the width and drop of an earring. Thread tension and fittings add a little; the bead list counts every colour.

Five finishes, shown the way beads catch the light.

Then follow it, one row at a time.

Make mode reads each row out as short runs: one ivory luster, two teal, three ivory luster. It keeps your place between sessions and tells you how many beads of each colour to buy, with a little extra for culls.

Prefer paper? Export a chart with rulers and a letter on every bead, or plain row-by-row instructions.

For shops and pattern designers

Your listing photos come with the pattern.

Selling patterns or finished pieces? Everything a listing needs comes straight out of the editor, with no photo studio and no extra software.

Questions before you start

Is Bead Atelier really free?

Yes. The editor, the 3D preview, PDF charts, bead lists and shop photos are all free. There is no account, no trial and no watermark on your own charts.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No. It runs in your web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Drafts are kept in your browser; when you publish a pattern you get a private edit link instead of an account.

What can I design?

Loom bracelets and cuffs, and shaped brick stitch earrings, with Delica 11/0, Delica 10/0, Delica 8/0, Round 11/0, Round 15/0, TOHO Round 11/0 beads. Sizes are worked out from real bead dimensions, so the size on the chart is a close guide to the size you make; thread tension and clasps add a little. Built-in earring patterns are checked for brick stitch construction. Check your own edits before stitching. Older peyote charts still open in the editor.

Can I turn a photo into a bead pattern?

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF of up to 12 MB, adjust its placement and convert it to your chart’s bead palette. Or keep it underneath as a guide and trace by hand. The conversion runs in your browser.

How do I know how many beads to buy?

Every pattern has a bead list with the count and weight in grams for each colour. The PDF adds 15% for culls and spills, and you can add the bead maker’s colour codes.

Can I make photos and charts for my shop?

Yes. Export 3D product photos at 2000 or 3000 px on a studio, white or transparent background, a 360° turntable video, a watermarked chart preview, and a PDF with your name, shop link and copyright line on every page.
