Do you dream of being able to create all kinds of designs but don't know how to weave beads? Thanks to this tutorial shared by Lili Azalée, partner designer, you will learn how to weave beads with a needle. This is a technique of weaving beads without a loom.
There are different weaving techniques but the most famous are brickstitch and peyote (and their variations). These techniques consist of connecting the beads individually to each other with a thread to gradually create the pattern of the diagram. The diagram can represent a specific element (like the flowers in this tutorial) or it can be an abstract pattern, a mantra word, a name, an astrological sign... or whatever you want. The diagrams are made from a blank weaving grid that you can customize as you wish. When you are a beginner, it is best to practice following a weaving diagram before creating your own beaded pattern. To make bead weaving your own, check out our bead weaving technique sheets. And to practice and get inspired, find many free weaving tutorials and patterns.
In this tutorial, Lili Azalée shares with you her free diagrams to weave one (or more) easy beaded flower .
