Frequently asked questions
Which beads do these Thanksgiving patterns use?
The patterns are made for Miyuki Delica 11/0 cylinder beads. Delicas sit evenly, so the outlines of the figures stay crisp. Each pattern page lists the color codes and counts.
Are these patterns free?
Yes. Open any pattern in BeadDot to edit it, or download the free PDF with the lettered chart, the materials list and the word chart.
Can I use these patterns for fall in general?
Of course. The pumpkin, leaf, acorn, corn and sunflower work all autumn, for harvest jewelry, Halloween or a fall table.
How many grams of beads does a pattern need?
The figures here use between 60 and 150 beads, less than 1 g; the 6×72 bracelets use 432 beads, about 2.5 g. The exact count of each color is in the materials list on the pattern page.
Can I change the colors to match my beads?
Yes. Open the pattern in your studio and repaint any bead with the paint tool.
