A Note on Bead Sizes and Brands:
The size and brand of bead you use may affect the final look of the pattern. Miyuki Delicas and Toho beads look the best and have a classy feel. While on the pricey side, they are well worth the cost in how easy they are to bead and the beauty of the finished beadwork. I often use Perler Beads for my beadwork. Along with a low price tag, they brick stitch really well and have a fun and whimsical look. They are also great for beaders who don’t see well or young beaders who might have trouble with tiny beads. Their size also makes for great brick stitch beaded ornaments and key chain dangles. (My favorite to bead.)

Bead Pattern Labeled Color Chart:
These charts are my favorite to use. They combine the color chart and letter chart so you can easily see by the letters which bead to use while simultaneously allowing you to compare your beaded piece to what the finished piece should look like. Printers do not always print the pattern colors correctly. So, having the letters on the pattern color chart, like the one below, can help differentiate colors that are close in hue.

Tools You Might Need For This Pattern:

Tools You Might Need For This Pattern:
-Small Scissors-

Brick Stitch Beading Tips:
-For your base row, start with the row that has the most beads. Typically, this is a central row in the pattern. Then, brick stitch up the pattern. Once the top portion is complete, move your thread down to the base row and brick stitch the bottom portion of the pattern. This pattern can be beaded with brick stitch, peyote, and gourd stitch beading techniques. Print out the pattern and decide which row will be your base row. Then, number each row of the pattern so it is easier to follow and track your progress. This allows you to personalize how you brick stitch your pattern a little more.-Wax your thread with either beeswax or household paraffin to reduce knotting and allow your needle and thread to pass through beads more easily. Simply draw your working thread across the wax block to wax it. Be careful not to apply too much wax or it will chalk up on your beads and create a mess. Using beeswax will reduce the possibility of chalking, but household paraffin is cheaper and better for the bees.-If you have trouble passing your needle and thread through a bead, grip it with a pair of needle nose pliers that have had the nose wrapped in duct tape or electrical tape. You will have better grip on your needle with them and the tape will reduce any damage to your needle and beadwork.-Coat your knots with a clear nail polish to ensure they do not unravel.-The type of light you use when beading will affect how you see the bead colors. Bright florescent or LED lights work the best for seeing the true colors of the beads. However the florescent lights may be hard on the eyes. Fully light your work space so your eyes do not strain when trying to see the holes of tiny beads.
