| Such lovely beading patterns. I like the Japanese 3D patterns they range from simple to extremely difficult. Don't know how anyone can design these from scratch they must used a software. I can make charms and other jewellery that often don't require bead weaving. What stresses me out is I can find specific beads and their colours. Anyone tried dressed up doll Miyuki kits yet? they are hard and took me 2 days to complete most of which I had to redo the section. |

| I keep seeing "no sign up required" and normally I don't want to sign up, but lately when I do my searches I end up here. To me, that means I should probably just check here first. I just recently posted a request for a pattern, and if I get any answers, it will just make me want to join even more. It means that the community is acutally interactive and helpful, that is the only kind of community I want to be part of. I have seen that people are pretty helpful already so I have high hopes. Basically, I want to be part of the comminity. I would like to join. Do you not have a sign up at all? I mean, I agree that having it open is super nice and conviant, but I would like to actaully sign in, maybe make a small profile of my chosen craft, my favorit patterns, which threads I have posted, you know, just basic stuff nothing fancy. If you haven't had this feature yet, maybe you can consider it? I will be comming here no matter what, cause so far I still like what I see. Keep up the awesomeness! And thank you for giving us all a place to get real help on our special projects! |

| I am looking for detailed pattern on how to make flowers out of seed beads.I lost my best friend of 25 years in August. She wanted to make some flowers out of seed beads but she never got to do it,so I want to make her some.I have looked and looked for patterns, but I can't find any. If you know where I can find some please help me out,even if I have to pay for the patterns. I need step by step instructions. I've made a lot of things with beads, but not any flowers.Please help me if you can. Thanks |
| Lynn on October 29, 2012: |
| Hi angela... Good place to start is your local library... Couple of books I would recommend from the "Stitch Workshop" series are Peyote Stitch (isbn 978-0-87116-423-0) and Right Angle Weave (isbn 978-0-87116-455-1) both from Kalmbach Books who publish Bead & Button Mag., BeadStyle Mag. etc. These books cover how to do the stitches and lots of easy patterns for advanced results. I always check a book out at the library first before I buy... Happy beading... |

| Jillie on August 9, 2012: |
I just found your site not long ago and I noticed there is not much activity. Do you need some help? I am retired from the Army and sitting at home all day, so I would be happy to help! I do lots of jewelry and have just recently done some 3-D stuff. I also can do websites and graphic design and my bachelor's is in Marketing. My Masters is in Homeland Security and Terrorism Studies, probably not much help there! Just email me if you are interested. Thanks! My blog is at http://makingsnmusings.blogspot.com/
Happy Beading!

| Lisa on May 29, 2012: |
| Hi all. Many years ago I was given a small beading craft kit. It consisted of all I needed to bead a ladybird. It used the 2 needle method, and thread not wire. I have had a go at using wire, and dont like it. I have been trying to find patterns for 3D animals using the 2 needle and thread method without success. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks so much. |

Can you please help me out with this since I have already paid for this? |

To Meg: We have more beading patterns than ever on 3Dbeading.com, and more are being created and added every day. There used to be several images of unfinished patterns in the galleries, but we decided for clarity to only have images of finished patterns. Of course, once those patterns are finished, the beading pattern and its image will be posted in the pattern gallery again.
To Tess: It's been a while! Happy to have you back. Can't wait to see what you make! |

| Hi Rachel, that sounds awesome. I would love to see your video. Thanks. |
| Rachel on March 7, 2011: |
| Hi Allegra! I absolutely adore your patterns, especially the beaded Hello Kitty :) I emailed the link to a friend who attempted the pattern but she said she couldn't follow the photos easily, that she would do alot better if she could see it done in person. Now, I understand your policy about not selling or reproducing the pattern on other sites but does that include doing a video tutorial (none of the pattern photos would be used) on youtube? Of course this site link would be posted to the video description and credit for the creator of the pattern would be given in the beginning of the video. Would this be against your policy? |
| Lourdes De Castro on February 28, 2011: |

| Hi there!! I own a website similar to you. I also have link exchange with this website. www.allcoolcrafts.com. I have question which does not relate to the bead, but about the ads on the site. I saw a lot of ads by Google on your site. I put 1 ads on my site, but right now I have problem. It shows the PSAs instate of normal ads like yours. The Google pro said I had no privacy and policy that was required by Google. I couldn't find from your site either. Do you have one? They said something about cookies, which I don't know anything about that. Please kindly advice. |

| DragonBeading on May 8, 2010: |
| Does anyone know how to make it hollow, but 3D-looking?I have tried looking up how to make it look 3D, because I am trying to make a dragon, which is hard when you don't know how to make a 3-Dimensional one. If anyone knows, can they at least give me a link or something on how to make connecting rows of beads, to make it look 3D. Thanks. Oh, and awesome animals to! XD |

| Dianne on April 1, 2010: |
A friend of mine has a miniture beaded tea pot, creamer, sugar bowl, and a coffee pot. They are made with pearls and gold beads. I have been tring to make a set and I am having a problem figurering out how the bottom of the cramer is beaded. It needs to be a circle and I believe it is beaded first before the sides of the creamer. I know how to make the sides and the rest of the creamer, but I just can not figure out how to make the circle of small beads and then go up on the sides. If you have a pattern for this I would like to see it.
Thank you
Dianne

| Thanks Tammy, and yes we are all sort of occupied right now Julie. We do this site on our spare time and at least for me, summer is bad with all the kids home and such. I have one pattern ready to go but I need a quiet hour or so to upload it so hopefully I can do that in the next week or so. There are more in the works too, they just take some time to get finished! In the meantime, head over to the forum and you will find tons of patterns and links everybody has uploaded to share. Happy Beading :) |

Hi Ruby! I fixed it. Sorry about that. Someone had posted a comment with a lot of m's in a row with no spaces (about a hundred or two!) and the page expanded to fit them all in. I edited out the train of m's from their comment so it should load fine now. Enjoy!
Allegra |
| Ruby♥ on July 15, 2009: |
I love this site! I've tried almost all of the patterns! =)
I haven't been able to log on, but today i visited the site to check for new things but when i went to "animals" i couldn't really see the pictures. it's like i have to scroll to the left but there isn't a scroll bar. on all of the other things like "hearts, forum, jewelry, etc. i can see everything. the only one i'm unable to see is "animals". do you think you can fix the problem? oh! and jen, i love the beaded handbag! it's so cute! but do you think you could put up a pattern?
oh! and i made a bracelet with a ring attached to it.. i think it's called a slave bracelet.. well anyway . . i used the ring pattern from this site and pretty much just did the rest on my own and it looked really pretty. I think it would be really cool if you put some of those kinds of patterns.. if you would like to see the one i made just email me at : RubyR93@yahoo.com
-thnx ~ I ♥ this site! =) |

| Jen on May 21, 2009: |
| Deanna, I have this same problem, we couldn't figure out what the problem was. I found it was only happening in Firefox, so if you need to see the rest of it use Internet Explorer instead. I just swap between them. |
| LIng-Ling on May 20, 2009: |

Hello -
I am looking for bird patterns, esp. parrots. If you know of any books and/or websites, I'd really appreciate the info
thanks!!! |
| Deanna on May 11, 2009: |
| Dear Allegra: I really enjoy your site but I have one question about it. There is a column on the left side of your site that blocks various pictures, etc. on your site - in other words there are pictures and things under the column that I can't see - am wondering if it is possible to move that column so that the various articles, pictures, etc. that are under it can be seen. I've tried clicking on the top of the column to no avail - it doesn't move, doesn't get smaller or anything else. Am wondering what can be done about it? Thanks and keep up the wonderful work. Lots of hugs to you. |
| my_beading_heart on May 11, 2009: |
To Heather -
I have a couple of 3D crystal star patterns but the instructions are in Chinese. If you are interested, email me at c_lohr@hotmail.com and I will send you the patterns. |

| RORO333 on April 9, 2009: |

| Mini-squishy on April 5, 2009: |
| OMG this site is soooooooooooooooooooooo cool! I love all the cute stuff on this site(pretty much everything) but I don't have much beads and here in Christchurch, New zealand there isn't much cool beads you can buy except at a place called spotlight where theres plenty but its really far from where i live. OH WELL i just have to try make everything with what I've got :D |
| Mazena on March 20, 2009: |

| THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION ALLEGRA |
| Allegra on February 13, 2009: |
Hi Irma, are you in Spain? Anyway, I once found a nice wire tutorial site at wire-sculpture.com
This is the address of their free wirework patterns page: http://wire-sculpture.com/pages/Jewelry_Making_Patterns2.html
Hope that page has what you're looking for! I found it quite handy personally, but I'm not 100% sure what a japanese knot is. Let us know. |
| IRMAPOLANCO@YAHOO.ES on February 13, 2009: |
| Hi I would like to know if you know of a site where I can learn wire wrap for free, I visited jewelry lesson, wigjig, but the thing I want to learn is knot (chinese or japanese) but with wire. Thanks for your time. |
| Allegra on February 13, 2009: |
| Sophie, le modele d'ours est disponible maintenant! The bear pattern is now available. Enjoy! |
| Laura on February 11, 2009: |
descamps sophie - Le modele de l'ours en peluche sera disponible le samedi, nous l'espérons.
Translation: "The teddy bear pattern should hopefully be available on saturday." |
| Laura on February 11, 2009: |
| Sesems, welcome to the site and I'm glad you have found it useful. Hopefully, the patterns should be being posted more regularly now as there are 5 of us working on the site instead of just Allegra. Keep checking back for updates or you could sign up for the newsletter (above left) which is sent out each time a new pattern is posted. |
| Sesems on February 10, 2009: |
| So glad that I have found web site like yours I bead mainly 3d projects. Patterns and ideas are hard to find so I'm delighted to find your site, definately a favourite of mine, please keep it going. |
| descamps sophie on February 9, 2009: |
comment demander le modele de petit ours ?
Translation: "Can you make the bear pattern?" |
| puppy295 on February 6, 2009: |
| Hey i know how to bead too |
| Allegra on February 5, 2009: |
| Mary Grace- the bear will be posted within a few days. He's almost done! Jax and I are working on him together so he gets done that much faster. |
| mary grace vibal on February 4, 2009: |
| hi. i am waiting for the bear pattern...when will you post it? |
| Germaine on January 31, 2009: |
| Thanks a lot. Did not expect for the tutorial to be ready today. Thanks. |
| Germaine on January 30, 2009: |
| Hi. I am wondering when will you finish the beaded orange slice tutorial? I am very excited. I keep checking my email and your website, hoping to see the new tutorial. Thanks. |
| Valerie on January 27, 2009: |
| Hii!!! I'm adding comments here and there, and it's very cool that there's a page in which you can find 3D beading instructions! Well, I love it!!! BYE!!! |
| tea_know on January 27, 2009: |
| Not easy to find your web with bead or beading keyword, i look at with free beading keyword and so lucky i find your site in 4 0r 5 page on google search. I really helpfull after see your site. Thanks for bead information. |
| Shelb on January 26, 2009: |
| hey...allegra u have the best site ever..........oh and have you ever made a 3d frog or a gecko.. |
| b.v. on January 26, 2009: |
| have you ever wondered about making a 3d monkey. ( : |
| Bidiboum on January 25, 2009: |
Well, not so bad - I'm having more and more work but I try my best to keep the rhythm going until... July. I am so frustrated about not having enough time to bead =(
I hope every thing is going well for you.
Anyway, yeah, you 5 are really great! |
| Allegra on January 22, 2009: |
Awww, thanks Bidiboum! How's your school year going? Almost done?
I'm so lucky that Jax, Laura, Celeste and Jen have decided to lend me their aid in running the site. It has made such a huge difference in managing the site. It used to take me forever to do anything just because a whole site is too much for one person to handle!
By the way, I just posted the ball bracelet!!! |
| Bidiboum on January 21, 2009: |
| Allegra, you are absolutely awesome... I keep admiring you each time I come and visit your site! |
| Allegra on January 20, 2009: |
The teddy bear is coming. I'm in the process of making the ball bracelet pattern, and the very next thing after that is going to be the teddy bear. The reason I was doing other patterns first is because I'm new to making beading diagrams, so I was practicing with easier diagrams! But I think I'm ready to tackle the teddy bear now haha!!
You should try Laura's apple, her diagrams are incredible. Actually, she taught me how to make diagrams, so she must be better lol! |
| Leah on January 20, 2009: |
Allegra,I have a question for ya,are you going to have instructions to make a teddy bear.just wanting to know?
I can read your instructions much easier then anyone elses.... |
| Jax on January 12, 2009: |
| Me too! I love seeing what everyone else has made! |
| Laura on January 11, 2009: |
| Hi crisler joy. Welcome to the site! Can't wait to see your beaded trinkets. |
| crisler joy on January 10, 2009: |
hello!
I found your page will going to be one of my favorites!!
I have a great interest with beading too!..thank you so much for building this site...
i'll be posting my beaded trinkets soon...God Bless!!! |
| Allegra on January 9, 2009: |
| Tada! The spider pattern is posted! |
| qubailalfajr on January 7, 2009: |
| thank you jax |
| Jax on January 7, 2009: |
| Hi qubailalfajr, all the pictures you can click on are currently available and once clicked on, will take you to the page where it shows the instructions. Most of them you can see here on this page. The rest are works in progress and if you signed up for the newsletter, Allegra sends an e-mail when a new one gets posted. The list of patterns that are next in line are listed on the right side of the page. If you make any, you can post pictures in the forum, we would love to see them! |
| qubailalfajr on January 6, 2009: |
| Hi,your site is great I have joind but I cant get the paterns...is all the paterns not free? |
| Allegra on December 29, 2008: |
Hi Jolene! I hope you stick around to see more patterns being posted, like .... the poodle! I just finished him now. Here's the link:
Beaded Poodle Pattern. I can't wait to announce him by newsletter, but I've still got to write the instructions and make it all presentable. But I couldn't wait to announce it here! |
| Jax on December 28, 2008: |
| Hi Jolene, we are happy to meet you too. If you go to the forum, you can post pics of things you have made to share with us. We love eye candy! |
| Jolene Stephen on December 28, 2008: |
| Hi, Just found your site and wanted to thank you for dedicating yourself to this. I am thrilled and impressed with the site and have spent time visiting every area. I may have to submit a few of my own pieces. I'm Happy to meet everyone here. |
| Allegra on December 28, 2008: |
Haha, I know what you mean about being swamped with finals at Christmas. Every year for the past 4 years, my boyfriend's and my Christmas shopping has taken place on the eve of Christmas Eve hehe. Including this year. Hopefully next year will be different. Mind you, we are still last minute people. It's a skill you learn in school LOL!
Back to beading, finally! Have you checked out the new poodle diagrams I added? (everyone, not just Jax) |
| Jax on December 27, 2008: |
| Ty Cat, I have not been able to find them separate at the Wal-marts near my house and I didn't want to buy the kids kits just to get them. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! My kids got way spoiled but the last two Christmas' have been really tight, my husband had oral surgery the week before two Christmas's ago and I had just started back to school and last year I was swamped with finals so it was way overdue this year. I hope you got some much needed relaxation Allegra, that last week waiting for results must have been killer! |
| Allegra on December 27, 2008: |
| Yes Monii, I got them. Didn't you get my reply? Thanks Cat, happy holidays to you too! Sorry for taking so long with the patterns, I was on holiday at my boyfriend's for three days. I'm back now. |
| Cat on December 26, 2008: |
| PS...Congrats to Allegra and Happy Holidays to everyone! |
| Cat on December 26, 2008: |
| I found 3mm and 4mm acrylic bicones online at 99 cents for a pkg of 500 beads. I haven't ordered yet because I still have plenty that I bought at Walmart, but I know some of you were asking where to buy them. The website is http://www.fairybearsbeads.com/ac3mmbibe.html |
| Celeste on December 25, 2008: |
| Happy holidays everyone ! ^^ |
| Jen Lawson on December 24, 2008: |

| Monii on December 22, 2008: |
Hey, i sent you some of the scans i found with the beaded diagrams.... did you get them?
|
| Allegra on December 22, 2008: |
Haha, yes you can make a horse without the saddel, you just use white beads instead of coloured beads where the saddle is. Right now I'm working on two patterns which have been long requested..the poodle and the ball bracelet. I'm working on them now, but they should be done very soon. I've already made a few diagrams^^
Welcome back Bidiboum!! |
| Bidiboum on December 20, 2008: |
| I'm back too... Congratulations Allegra!! |
| Christa on December 20, 2008: |
can you make the hors without the sadel?
|
| Allegra on December 20, 2008: |
| Okay tomorrow I have to finally finish that poodle pattern! |
| Jen Lawson on December 20, 2008: |
| Oh wow!! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations! |
| Jax on December 19, 2008: |
| WOOOHOOOO! Congrats! I knew you could do it! I am so proud of you! |
| Allegra on December 19, 2008: |
| Guess what everyone? I passed all my courses!! Yay!! I'm a free woman! |
| Lois on December 17, 2008: |
| Hi Allegra, thank goodness I came across your website after much net surfing..!! was recently shopping in Chinatown Singapore and saw these beautiful beaded animals being sold in the glass showcases, too bad they didn't conduct classes. i really wish someone was there to show and guide me step by step.. :( but was so happy to find the help that I needed and wanted here, with Pics & clear instructions.. This is GREAT.. Thank U.. i will bookmark this and come back often and hopefully i can come up with my own patterns someday.. :P P.S. keep up the good work!! |
| Jax on December 15, 2008: |
| Busy as usual, trying to get Christmas gifts all made. Plus we had some unexpected guests over Thanksgiving. I had to drive my bro in law to Oregon and come back in two days (1200 miles round trip!). Their car broke down as they were moving back to Oregon from southern Cal. There are just not enough hours in the day or days left till christmas for me to get everything done! I will keep my fingers crossed that you don't get any phone calls! |
| Allegra on December 15, 2008: |
| Well, it won't feel good until the 19th of december comes and goes and I never get a phone call from school saying that I failed a course. LOL. And right now I'm a busy bee writing my report for my research project. But soon! Haven't heard from you in ages, how are things? |
| Jax on December 15, 2008: |
| YAY I am so happy for you that you are done! Doesn't it feel good to be finished? lol |
| Allegra on December 14, 2008: |
| OH thanks guys! I've just finished my last exam, and once I hand in my last paper on wednesday, I'm posting more patterns! |
| mona on December 9, 2008: |
| REALLY, REALLY, COOL DESIGNS CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU GET SOME MORE. EXCITED ABOUT WHAT OTHER STUFF YOU PLANNING ON STICKING UP NEXT. |
| maisy on December 8, 2008: |
| I REALLY REALLY WANT TO MAKE AN ELEPHANT AND THE TERRIER DOG i hope that you can post the instructions on it ...pls...thanks...! |
| maisy on December 8, 2008: |
| I love this website!! I just finished making the bird and the heart and it is really cute, love it ! I also love the rabbit and the hello kitty head lol... but I hope you can post the instructions for some of them. They are so lovely and very cute ..! I would like to buy some books of beading but they I don`t know where to but it. Your steps are much clearer. I really appreciate all the instructions you have posted and I hope you do post the instructions on handbags too. thanks!! It really works! That's great, much easier to navigate. |
| Jen Lawson on November 21, 2008: |
| thanks!! It really works! That's great, much easier to navigate. |

| Jen, you can open up a new tab by holding down the "Ctrl" button while you click a link. That way you don't have to right-click on sites that have it disabled. |
| my_beading_heart on November 19, 2008: |
| wow! your site is wonderful. thank you sssooooo much for the free beading patterns and instructions!!! |
| Celeste on November 19, 2008: |
| Awh, thanks Jax! Glad you liked it! I'll probably be sharing a few more within the month! ^^ I just looked at other patterns, and tried to follow the same clean lines that they use. Good luck with yours! |
| Jax on November 19, 2008: |
| OMG she shared with me, you rock Celeste! I have been working on a pattern for like two months and it just keeps frustrating me. You did a great job! |
| Celeste on November 18, 2008: |
| Allegra, You've got mail! =) I hope its right! |
| Monii on November 14, 2008: |
| Hey, sorry i havnt sent the scans yet, im trying to organize them first. i should be done soon so ill send them when im done. |
| Germaine on November 11, 2008: |
| I love this website!! I just finished making the bird and it is really cute! I also love the handbags that are for sale but I hope you can post the instructions for some of them. They are so lovely! I have some books on beading but they are very difficult compared to the ones you teach. Your steps are much clearer. I really appreciate all the instructions you have posted and I hope you do post the instructions on handbags too. Thanks. |
| Celeste on November 4, 2008: |
That sounds awesome! I wanna see too LOL!
I ordered that book. It should be here within 3-4 weeks, yay! I got the one with the fruits, koala bear, monkey, the different dog breeds..Theres a lot of them lol. Hopefully I can follow the patterns! I'll share with Allegra as well, and she can decide what to do with everything from there. |
| Allegra on November 2, 2008: |
| Sure I'd love to see them! And post pictures of the beadworks you made on the forum so we can all see them!! Apple sounds so cute!! |
| Monii on November 1, 2008: |
| actually yea! ive made a purse, frog, apple, shoe, and im almost done a winnie the pooh :D i found the scans on websites and they were savable... should i email them to you?? (btw theres ALOT) lol :P |
| Allegra on October 31, 2008: |
| Hi guys!! So sorry I've been on hiatus recently. I've just gone through 4 weeks of intense exams (3 times per week). So don't worry about it being in a hurry, LOL! Have you managed to make anything from the scans you found? |
| Celeste on October 30, 2008: |
| Maybe you should E-mail them to Allegra? I dont think you can legally post them (Unless they are on a website already.). If it isnt legal for her to post the scans, she could always just make a tutorial and doesnt have to use their pictures. |
| Monii on October 29, 2008: |
| hey, sorry i havnt replied yet about the scanned patterns....soo what are we gunna do with them? |
| Sally on October 27, 2008: |
| I am thrilled to find this very user friendly site! Thank you so much for sharing all of your expertise with us! |
| Allegra on October 24, 2008: |
| Yes, I completely agree. And I've made sure to post patterns that can easily be done with cheap beads like seed beads. Seed beads are so cheap and yet lovely! My dollar store even sells them! Also, department stores like Walmart sell cheap beads (cheaper than bead stores anyhow). Good luck searching! As for the time... one pattern at a time right! The time required is listed for each pattern too^^ |
| Celeste on October 23, 2008: |
| Ivy, You dont have to use the expensive crystal beads..You can practice with the cheaper plastic ones, it makes good practice! |
| Ivy on October 23, 2008: |
| I LOVE the beading. I have never done it. My mom is pretty good at it... One of these days I'm going to attempt the pig or the Hello Kitty ^_^ Lovely patterns... I need the time and the $$ >.< |
| Jax on October 22, 2008: |
| I agree somebody needs to get on better meds! Its hard to photograph beadwork, If you know of any pics of beadwork that are better. Please share, we would love to see them. |
| Jen Lawson on October 21, 2008: |
| Gee, someone's grumpy today! |
| bugle beader on October 21, 2008: |
| the pics are so crappy |
| advid beader on October 21, 2008: |
| bunch of crap |
| Celeste on October 21, 2008: |
| Yes, off Ebay. I dont think they sell it anywhere in my area, I've only ever seen it on ebay. And alright! If you can help figure them out, then you can make any up that you like from what i send ya! Thanks! I'll let you know when I get it. |
| Allegra on October 20, 2008: |
| Hi Celeste! That sounds like fun! Are you getting that beading book off ebay or are there some stores in your area that sell them? I'm so glad you were able to follow the instructions on the site!! I don't think it's legal to post scans, but we can certainly try to figure out the patterns and make our own! Let us know what kinds of beaded animals you find^^ |
| Celeste on October 20, 2008: |
Hey Allegra,
I was thinking of getting one of those 3-D beading books (On of the japanese ones with the really cute animals!), but I'm still new to beading. I've done the hello kitty, heart, the small beaded kitty, and the small bird. But anyways, if I got the book and posted scans, could you help figure the patterns out? I'd gladly scan any pattern you'd like and share it with you and anyone else! |
| Jen Lawson on October 19, 2008: |
| Hi Allegra. Just wondering, have you disabled right-click on this site? I'm so used to opening up heaps of tabs using right-click. I'm not sure if I have a problem or not. |
| Allegra on October 17, 2008: |
Nice to meet you Alastar! I know what you mean about beading making your blood pressure rise on occasion. Like when a bead is too full of string and won't let you thread through it again and you're stuck. Yeah, it has its moments! But the best part is when you get the triumph of taking a picture of your work at the end and showing it off all over the internet. LOL!!
Oh as for picture quality, if you photo edit, you don't need a good camera. I would be dead in the water without my best friend photoshop. Every photo on this site has been through the photoshop pampering treatment. A free program that is very similar is called Gimp, free from gimp.org. I'm planning to learn how to use it and post a tutorial about it one day! (hopefully when I get my christmas break) |
| Alastar Dragonfly on October 16, 2008: |
Hi Allegra. I picked up this url from the Beading Daily forums where you posted your 3D heart comb. I just have to say that I think that it is killer for a fulltime student with a full time job also take the time to do something like this for the beading community. Outstanding work my dear, simply outstanding. Personally, I am into simple stringing, knotwork(macrame), and bead embroidery(check out my denim jacket on the Beading Daily Reader Showcase forum, just don't judge by the pic quality, I'm stuck taking pics with my phone for the moment. *laughz*). I learned to brick stitch way back when in the Boy Scouts, but never did it again until recently. I was forcibly retired in 2003 due to a crumbling spine and a bad ticker, so I try to find ways to occupy myself without overdoing it, ya know. Beading is perfect for that. Other than making my BP go up occasionally, it is great therapy. Sadly, I also have rheumatoid arthritis and I have to take breaks for days at the time when it flairs up.
Don't feel bad when one moron pisses and moans, they don't have much of a life anyway. I, for one, appreciate you and others like you who try to pass the knowledge on rather than hoard it for themselves. Great job and I will be visiting often. Keep up the good work. ;o) |
| Jen Lawson on October 15, 2008: |
Hi Lobo1.
What's the problem with the beading market? |
| Allegra on October 12, 2008: |
| Hi Lobo1. What is it about the beading market that offended you? |
| Lobo 1 on October 12, 2008: |
After viewing the latest post in the Beading Market I have no choice but to say,
Good Bye All |
| Allegra on October 11, 2008: |
| Hmmm, it might be a bit challenging because I've specified my font in many different places, but I'll try!! |
| Cindy aka Lilhopsquaw on October 10, 2008: |
| I just love the sea star! Thanks for sharing. Everything here is so wonderful. I just have one request. Could you make your font darker and maybe a bit larger? For those of us who can't see very well. I have my settings up on my internet explorer to see better but still am having a hard time seeing the print on these pages. Just a request. And, Thanks so much for sharing. Cindy |
| Allegra on October 10, 2008: |
| Thanks Jax!!! I've just given this page a much-needed mini-makeover. Now all the newest pattern thumbnail images are at the top of the page, not all over the place! Is it better now? |
| Jax on October 7, 2008: |
| Allegra's instructions are great and if you get lost, just post on the page you are confused about and she will help walk you thru it. I hope you try it and Good Luck! (by the way, its very addictive!) |
| Jaymie on October 6, 2008: |
| cool beading i wish i knew how to do this |
| Lobo 1 on October 5, 2008: |
Hi everyone
Thanks for posting my Basket allegra.
I thought that I would see what it would look like beaded with the plastic crystal beads I had.
I posted photos under Hi everyone the chat post .
Bead often and Share with Others, Enjoy |
| Allegra on October 5, 2008: |
| I've just posted the beaded basket pattern! Check it out in the guest patterns gallery!! |
| twilight on October 4, 2008: |
| can u make a 3d chiwawa |
| Mason Jar Beading on October 3, 2008: |
Allegra, you have a wonderful site! User friendly, and very informative your explanation of inkscape is to the point and helpful. Keep up the good work!

| Von on October 3, 2008: |
| I googled and found your site - lovely - just what I wanted - thanks for being here and sharing |
| Alissa on October 1, 2008: |
| I have been comming here for awhile now and I`m so glad that you have done this site. I`m so sorry that one person can`t understand life get`s busy and you can`t do everything all at once. I`m just happy to get what I can when I can. I wanted to say thankyou for such a grerat site and for all the new patterns you have given us devoted fans! Thank you! |
| Jackie on October 1, 2008: |
| I just wanted to say the Allegra KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Don't let one horrible comment ruin what you are doing. If people don't like that fact that it takes you a while to post some patterns. Then maybe they can help out and try to figure out the patterns themselves and then they will realize how long it takes. |
| Allegra on September 30, 2008: |
You guys are so good to me! I'm so lucky! Jen, you're so right that I'm trying to do so many things at once. I have to post stuff for a bunch of people on the beading market, post a bunch of people's patterns on the guest patterns gallery, and on top of that, keep posting my own patterns! I still have a shamefully incomplete heart and pig pattern that require words, and now two incomplete diagram patterns, the poodle and the sun circle bracelet, because they were requested by people with asterisks and capitals "pleases" LOL! And yes, unfortunately, school reared its ugly head the past two weeks and made things difficult. I know this is a tough time, but school will be permanently over in December!! I just can't wait, I've been in "captivity" for 6 years now. I can hardly believe it's ending!
At Christmas, my boyfriend is going to help me make a more automated system on the site so that people can post their own stuff (ie, guest patterns, beading market stuff), so that way I can focus my own time on the patterns! (my boyfriend is Eric by the way LOL... guess he was offended by "totally disappointed" too!) |
| Jax on September 29, 2008: |
To Totally Disappointed:
I have been visiting this site for awhile now - yes you can see my name on some of the old posts- Before you say or think anything else let me say this: Go try to make a pattern yourself. I have been working on one for the last week for my spider (you can see him in the forum under finished projects) and I am completely in awe at how fast Allegra has done what she has done while having a life and going to school. If you don't like her site go make your own. When you realize what she has done here FOR FREE!!!! maybe you can put your issues aside and appreciate it or if that is not possible, do the rest of us that are thrilled at finding this site a favor and go find somewhere else to whine and complain. Its obvious your friend enjoys this site. That is why you were sent here. Go tell them you think they are wasting their time but honestly, what do you gain by raining on their parade? |
| Jen Lawson on September 29, 2008: |
Allegra, I think it's so sad that some people don't appreciate your work here. I think what happening is you're trying to please evryone at once, so sometimes you're not able to get things done when you say. But I don't how anyone can "look a gifthorse in the mouth". sometimes it's a bit of a wait to get things, but we're getting this for nothing so who cares.
Keep up the good work. Most of us are being patient, and looking elsewhere for things to keep us amused while we wait. |
| Eric on September 29, 2008: |
| To "Totally Dissappointed": I completely fail to understand your opinion of this wonderful beading website. Allegra is working hard to provide everyone with free 3d-beading patterns of exceptionally high quality. I have not seen such detailed step-by-step instructions supported with so many illustrations and pictures available for free anywhere else on the internet. Are you complaining that you're getting free patterns? Would you rather that this website not exist and not have these patterns available? I mean, seriously, since when do people complain about getting something for free? Allegra has worked hard to produce these patterns and maintain this website and it is disappointing to see that this is the thanks she gets. And what does it matter to you what the dates are on the postings anyways? Does having older comments on a page somehow diminish the value of the tutorial's content? And in any case most of the pages on this site are quite active with recent comments and Allegra has responded to the vast majority of them. So your comment is both irrelevant and incorrect. Finally, I have read nothing but positive comments while browsing this website. To Allegra: Please keep up the good work! You are making all of us beaders happy and we appreciate your selfless hard work and dedication. |
| Allegra on September 29, 2008: |
| I had to read your comment 3 times to understand what you are saying. Basically, I gather that you are complaining about the fact that people have been posting requests for patterns for a while now, and I've been slow to meet the demands. Well, I'm not being paid by anyone to do this. I just wanted to share knowledge and patterns about beading. I have a job and I'm also a full time student at the University of Toronto. This is just my leisure activity. I do care about it a lot and I'm always here to respond to everyone (notice I respond to all comments and requests), and I do post patterns when I have time. If you'd like to pay me, I'll be happy to post a beading pattern for you more promptly. |
| Totally Disappointed on September 29, 2008: |
I was refered to this site by a very good freind.
Who does absolutly the most I have ever seen one person do with beads.
After looking at every page on this site and checking out the dates and amount of postings, and the information that has not been acted on I am going to call my freind and inform him that I think He is wasting his time on this site.
|
| Allegra on September 25, 2008: |
| Oh I see, you found them on another site? Is it a limited time offer or is the site planning to stay online with them for long-term? Well, yes, in that case, we can't just steal their patterns without their permission. LOL! Maybe give us the link and I'll see. Maybe we can ask their permission to share it here? |
| Monii on September 24, 2008: |
| well i have a link that shows all the books which contain the scanned pages of the patterns and i also have the photos because i saved them all.... and i dont think you should put them in guest patterns under my name cause their not mine and i didnt make them so it wouldnt feel right... maybe a new post?? |
| Allegra on September 23, 2008: |
| All beadwork is welcome!! I only named the site 3Dbeading.com because it makes the site more unique than all the other beading sites that don't have a focus. But all beadwork is most certainly welcome! |
| Lobo1 on September 23, 2008: |
I like your site very much, is it only 3d bead work that you allow on your site or all beadwork?
I also sent you an e-mail I hope that was o.k. |
| Allegra on September 20, 2008: |
| Are they files or links? You can email them to me at allegra@friendshipbeading.net. I can post them in the Guest Patterns gallery under your name. Sound good? |
| Monii on September 20, 2008: |
| omg!! i just found ALOT of beading diagrams such as cute little shoes XD doggies a dog house, a chair, a motorcycle and many more... i can post the links or photos ( cause i saved them all :P) but it will be a big post soo im not sure how i should do it... |
| Chelsea on September 18, 2008: |
| You're site is so great. I loved making the little pig. I'll keep checking back for the girl bunny (so cute!). I understand how much work goes into these tutorials, and I appreciate that someone took the time to put them up for everyone to use (and for FREE!) That's just amazing. Thanks so much! |
| Allegra on September 15, 2008: |
| What I can suggest to make your life alot easier (especially when you're making patterns for the first time) is to remake the model using your own beads first. This will tell you how the best way to make it is, and you'll find out all the little hidden steps you wouldn't have thought about otherwise just from looking at it. Once you've made it, you'll have a much better understanding of it and how to explain it to others. It really doesn't take that long to make one and it's worth the effort a lot of the time, in the effort it saves you decoding it. LOL! |
| Monii on September 14, 2008: |
| ok wow. this is alot harder than i thought ...... im tryind to figure the pattern out and it is sooo confuzing! |
| Monii on September 14, 2008: |
| lol and yeah i was thinking of maybe posting it sometime soon but i need to figure out how to use inskape :P i also have a donald duck with a hat i might try to do too :D |
| Allegra on September 14, 2008: |
| LOL, that's exactly what I do! I can't imagine inventing a beaded animal pattern. I buy my models in Chinatown and figure them out. I figure if I put in the time and effort to figure it out and write my own pattern, it's okay. Besides, you see the same patterns on every street corner in Chinatown being sold by different people. Have fun! Did you want to post it on this site? (that would be wonderful!) |
| Monii on September 14, 2008: |
| thanx for the help :P and i have another question... do you think its ok to figure out the pattern of a beaded animal you bought and then post it online for people to make? cause i have a bear that looks fairly easy to figure out.. |
| Allegra on September 12, 2008: |
| Wow, I'm so surprised. Can you get ink that is water-proof? I know there is such a thing as fabric medium that you can mix with acrylic paint. What you do is mix the acrylic paint and the fabric medium together in a container, then you apply it to the shirt with a brush. Then you let the shirt dry. It's supposed to be permanent, and last wash after wash. But for printing, I guess it's kind of hard to pre-mix your printing ink with the fabric medium. I'm not sure if you can actually paint over the finished shirt with the fabric medium to make it stay. You should go to Walmart and ask them because that's where I bought the fabric medium. There should be an employee in the arts and crafts department. Now they may not know anything (knowing Walmart), but you can read the label. Or even google the term "fabric medium" to learn more about it. Another thing I can suggest is to try spraying the shirt with clear acrylic enamel (e.g. Krylon, a reputable brand). I actually spray my charcoal drawings with Krylon because it keeps them from running. |
| Monii on September 11, 2008: |
| hello again, i have a question and hopefully someone can give me the answer..... this isnt about beads but ok... i made a t shirt for my friend (printing a photo on special paper that you iron on the shirt) but when she accidentally got a drop of water on the photo, the ink smeered ( like water colors) soo the problem is washing the shirt because if you put it on the washer, all the ink will get washed off and possibly stain the t shirt. so, my question is, is there anything i can put over the ink after i printed the photo so that the ink wont get smudged ( like maybe a spray or a coat of something that will protect the photo). I know its random but i hope someone can help lol. |
| Allegra on September 9, 2008: |
| Jen, I am soon going to start up the Beading Market on this site (a place where beaders can put up pictures of stuff they are selling). Please feel free to submit some of your pieces! (I mean just pictures of them, with descriptions and prices). It will be a free service, of course. I will have your pictures linking to your website where they can buy it. |
| Jen Lawson on September 8, 2008: |
Wow! What excellent ideas. Sometimes having a fresh person look is so great. I'm completely new to websites and to selling my stuff, I've always just given them away, but I don't work, so I could really use the money, and I was getting to the point where I was running out of people to give them to. I really appreciate this feedback, what great ideas! I will implement when I get some time. As to the tutorial, I've never written one before, but I'll give it a go when I find the time (it might be a while yet, though, I have so many projects I want to do)
Thanks again |
| Allegra on September 7, 2008: |
| Jen, I have "psychoanalyzed" your site (http://www.freewebs.com/craftcove) and here are some areas I think would help you improve and get more business: You have some unnecessary links in your links section, and some of these links are actually broken (ie, lead to dead pages). I would get rid of the links called: earrings, bracelets, necklaces, other. They lead to the same place as the more specific links below them, and some of the links there are broken (eg, "enter here" for beaded necklaces, in the necklaces page). I would either combine the updates page with the home page, or at least move the link to the updates page to the very top. If you have repeat visitors, it will be the first page they will want to visit. I would also move the gallery link to the top because it contains a wider variety of beaded pieces, and you state that they can be made to order. It's good eye candy for the site. I would definitely put more work into that page to describe what the prices would be if you were to make those pieces to sell them, and give a much more expansive written description of each piece (make it look just like the format of your other pages). I would move your subscription form to the top of your home page, rather than the very bottom. You want people to see it and join so that you can call them back to your site via email. Very few people are going to scroll to the very bottom of your home page because they will likely click on another link along the way and never get there. Try to increase the amount of text in general everywhere, and if possible, try adding a comments system of some kind that lets your visitors comment on your pieces. This will also give you feedback on what people like and you can make more of it and less of what isn't liked. Also, as for your starry background, I'm not very fond of it! I think the plain white background on some of your other pages is much more clean and neat looking (and best of all, professional). Now onto your beaded work, I LOVE your beaded pen!! It's so gorgeous!! I would just love it if you could teach us how to make it!! (or is it a well-kept secret? LOL) I also love the Russian spiral gold necklace in your gallery page. |
| Allegra on September 7, 2008: |
| It just looked funny in the middle of your content, hehe. But it's not a big deal at all, kind of spruces up the area LOL. As to your prices, it all depends. Do you get a lot of orders? If you are getting more orders than you can handle, raise the price and you'll get less orders and make more per order. If you are not getting any or very few orders, keep the price low for now until you get more popular. As far as what the price should be, well, one easy way is to add the price of the materials that went into it with the labour. The labour being whatever hourly wage you think you deserve times the number of hours you spent making it. But generally with retailing stuff you make, it doesn't always work out that this is what you will get out of it. Generally, when you first start out, you actually lose money because you have to sell so cheaply in order to attract any customers. But then, over time, business gets better and you find yourself not being able to keep up with it. That's the time to raise prices. Another important point is to minimize expenses where possible. Where do you buy your beads? Can you find them more cheaply by buying wholesale online, or even at places like the dollar store or a general crafts store? Beading stores tend to charge a high premium on their beads. Another key concept to success is reach. Try to get other beading websites to link to yours. I've already linked you. This will tell the search engines that you are considered important by other websites. Also, try to have a lot of text in your website that describes your site and the beaded pieces you are selling. The search engines will read every word when deciding how to rank you. Hope this helps! I'm one day hoping to also try selling finished products, but not until I have put up most of my patterns because I wouldn't have time for both. Maybe in a few years I'll try it hehe. I wonder about starting a section of this site that lets others trying to sell their beaded pieces to show them off here, because I get quite a few visitors. Hmm, something to think about. LOL. Good luck! |
| Jen Lawson on September 7, 2008: |
Thanks for that. Actually, I wasn't sure what to sell things for. Should I put the prices up, do you think? How much do the 3D things sell for? I was thinking it wasn't the right place for the button actually. I was originally going to put it at the beading part on the home page, I should have went with my first instincts. I'll move it shortly.
Thanks again |
| Allegra on September 4, 2008: |
Let me make that into a link so that google indexes your site in their search engine and more people find you!

I can't believe how cheaply you are giving away your work. I've seen other websites selling far less intricate stuff (eg, simple rings) for prices in the $30 to $40 range. You must be super fast! I wish you the best of luck and you can certainly make and sell stuff you see on this website. Thanks again for putting up my button, it looks so cute on there! Kind of random positioning though, LOL! |

| LOL!!! Thanks, you're so sweet!! I'm so sure you'll manage, and if you don't manage to finish a beading pattern, please let me know on the page you have difficulty with (via comment) and I will do my best to help! Let me know what is the URL for your website. I'd love to visit! (and I'm sure lots of others would too) |

| You're so wonderful! I've put the teddy bear button on my site. LOL, I haven't even made any of these yet. I better get to it. Hopefully I'll manage, or I'll have to remove the button already, but it's so cute! LOL |
| Allegra on September 2, 2008: |
| I just wanted to add that you are also free to submit a pattern to the site to be added to the Guest Patterns gallery!! Everyone will love you for it! |
| Allegra on September 2, 2008: |
| You can indeed make them and sell them to your heart's content. The purpose of this site is to share information, not keep it to ourselves. If you are selling them on your website, I'd appreciate a link to 3dbeading.com somewhere on your site, but other than that, have fun and keep beading! |
| Jen Lawson on September 2, 2008: |
| What's the copyright on these patterns? Can I make and sell them? |

| Hi everyone, I just wanted to apologize for the server going down so often this past week. My boyfriend and I have finally decided once and for all to switch to a new and better company, and although they are more expensive, they have a much better reputation, so this whole issue of unreliable service should be put to an end. We are now moving into our new server and it should be ready soon. I'm SO sorry again for this. I know I seem to always be apologizing for one thing or another, but I promise I am always thinking of you and trying to make this site a better place. |

| That's SO sweet of you to say Theany! Right now I'm in the middle of big changes on this site, which should be all done by next wednesday. Just stay tuned! It's getting a makeover. I'm getting things all ready right now. Sorry about the slow progress, but trust me, I'm always working on it! |
| Theany on August 9, 2008: |
| I love your site too much and I always drop in to see your multi color site every I'm surfing. I love your fat pig. I always want to make a pig which is represent my star sign and now I got. I could not wait for your dog which is my husband star sign. It very nice of you to share for all the beading people in the whole world. Thanks so much. |
| Dorrie on August 3, 2008: |
| I love this site. The name does say it all. It is a very friendly beading site. Thank you for sharing with us. |

| Wahou, If I knew that, I'd have written all in French ^^. My own uncle has moved to Toronto ages ago but his English accent remains horrible lol! Anyway, thanks again. I can't wait to start a rounded heart (I am only a few beads short of it...) & many other things on the photos! Bon courage pour la suite !! |
| Allegra on July 29, 2008: |
| Nonsense, I was actually admiring your eloquent English until you said you were French. That's great. My boyfriend is half French and he lives in Toronto like me, but he studied in pure French school until his graduation, studying all subjects in French. He speaks English more eloquently than anyone I know who grew up taking school in English. I speak French too (I speak it with my mom, who taught me since my youth) but not quite as well as my boyfriend! Thanks for the compliments on the site!! |
| Bidiboum on July 29, 2008: |
What a wonderful place! Such free step-by-step patterns are so rare on the web *-* Thanks a lot for sharing them... I can't even imagine the hard work you are making (creating patterns is pretty difficult, as far as I know). Anyway, they seem to be perfect. Thanks again.
And... I think I forgot something... Oh, yes, I'm French, so please forgive my poor (dreadful?) English ^^' |
| Katie on July 27, 2008: |
| Hello! You have very nice pages !! The only way forward, the most like to me are your instructions for beaded animals... I must try it.. Im expecting instructions for beaded bears and big cat ;) |
| Allegra on July 16, 2008: |
| Hi "someone" LOL! I'm working on them right now!!! Don't worry, they are definitely coming!! In fact, just today I discovered a technique in photoshop called "automated tasks" and I can get photoshop to edit my photos automatically!!!! So that should launch this ship into hyperspeed. LOL! Also, I have recruited a couple of friends who are now helping me with getting the beaded animal patterns done faster. They are coming! |
| Someone on July 14, 2008: |
| Hey, can you post more animals? They Are So Cute! |
| Allegra on April 22, 2008: |
| Thanks Katty! I try to make my patterns as clear as possible, but if you have problems, let me know (by posting a comment on the page where you have a problem with the pattern) and I'll do my best to fix it! |
| katty on April 22, 2008: |
| Your are very good:)... I might try kitty but I´m afraid it won´t be successful:D (sorry for my english I´m from Slovakia) |
| kdbech on April 17, 2008: |
| this is a great site |
| Tess on April 17, 2008: |
Thanks much. I'm looking forward to it. For now I will try to do the ones you have on here.
thanks again! |
| Allegra on April 17, 2008: |
| Hi Tess! Actually I can get a 3-D beaded tiger pattern going because the store where I buy my models (which I then copy lol) has one there. It's far from my house so I only go once every few months to buy an animal or two (she charges a fair bit for them, but I'm not surprised because they take a while to make!). I can get the tiger next time I go and figure it out. Right now, the request cue is pig, elephant, dog. I can do the tiger after that! |
| Tess on April 16, 2008: |
| This is awesome! I was looking around for a tiger pattern and I came across this site. I love it! I'm definitely going to try the Hello Kitty pattern and the kitty pattern. I'm not sure if you take requests or anything, but it would be great to put one up for a 3-D tiger if you don't have one already. Keep up the good work. |
