Be Bold Jewelry REVIEWS

There are several different programs out there for designing beading patterns and quite a few of them are free. Here are my top picks:

1. Easy Bead Patterns – Downloadable application for a variety of weaves. Lots of functionality including photo conversion. You can see my review here.

2. DB-Weave & DB-Bead - Downloadable application for loom patterns and rope crocheting respectively. Available in English and German.

3. Beader.org – Online application for peyote, brick, or loom patterns. Very simple interface, but that restricts you to pretty simple designs.

4. e-perle.com – Online application for stringing with lots of great shapes ; in French  but pretty easy to figure out even with no knowledge of French. (Tip: select Fichier  then Imprimer to print)

5. PatternsForYou.com’s Pattern Maker - Online application for converting photos into loom, brick, peyote or right angle weave patterns.
