Jewellery design board for bead makers

Design your jewellery before you bead it.

Lay out real Miyuki and Delica beads, Czech glass, pearls, stones and wire at true size – every one photographed, so it looks the way it will in your hand. Thread strands, bend wire shapes, weave loom and peyote patterns – then see the piece on a model before you cut a single thread.

Features

Everything on your bead mat, without the spills.

Plan the whole piece first, so you buy the right beads and only string it once.

Design at true size

Pick a ready-made necklace, bracelet or earring base, then click beads onto it. They snap to the wire, sit snugly beside their neighbours, and slide over to make room when you insert one in the middle.

  • Miyuki rounds, Delicas, Tila and Half Tila, Czech glass, crystals, pearls, jade and gemstones, metal spacers and findings
  • 16 charms in gold, silver and rose gold, flat or puffed, plain or enamelled – heart, moon, evil eye, shell and more
  • Ear hooks, ball and flat pad studs (plain or with a loop for a dangle), clasps, and bead caps that cup their bead
  • Striped, dotted, swirl and marbled glass in any colour, with the pattern colour you choose
  • Strand patterns that repeat as you drag or fill a whole wire
  • Two-strand bases for two-hole beads

Try it on before you make it

See your earrings, necklace or bracelet on a realistic model at real size – a full portrait, an ear close-up or a wrist. Or upload a photo of yourself.

  • Necklaces go round behind the neck and hang by their own length, with the clasp at the back
  • Ear hooks and studs go through the piercing, just like when worn
  • Soft shadows where the piece rests on the skin, so it sits in the picture
  • Turn the model to see the piece from the side and from behind
  • Save a picture to share or post

Collections: wear them together

Group your designs into a collection and try them on at once – a choker, a strand and a pendant layered at their real lengths with matching earrings, or a stack of bracelets up the wrist.

  • Necklaces layer by length, each draping on its own
  • Bracelets stack from the hand up the arm, in the order you choose
  • Change a design and it updates in every collection

Loom and peyote weaving

Design woven Delica pieces bead by bead. Turn any picture into a loom pattern, add a gold border, and place finished earrings with end bars, hooks and crystal drops.

  • Loom earring panels and bracelets
  • Peyote ring bands and tube beads with a rounded 3D preview
  • Bead counts and grams for every colour

Wire shapes, with bending guides

Start from 21 shapes – crescent moon, star, four-leaf clover, heart, S-scroll, ear wires and more. Each one comes with step-by-step instructions, the exact length of wire to cut, and an animation of every bend.

  • Measurements update when you resize the shape
  • Press 1:1 and lay your wire on the screen as a template

One-click colourways

Duplicate a design and swap every bead of one colour at once – try the same earrings in five palettes in a minute.

Shopping list included

Every bead counted by type, size and colour, with wire cut lengths and findings. Copy it straight into your order.

Mirror pairs

Design one earring and the matching one builds itself on the other side.

Truly life size

Calibrate once with a bank card and 1:1 on screen matches a real ruler.

Photographed, not drawn

Every bead, charm, finding and wire is a real photograph, coloured to any shade and finish – matte, metallic, AB, luster, Picasso – with natural jade and gemstone textures.

Works on tablets

Tap to place, drag strands with your finger, pinch to zoom. Nothing to download.
