Though learning how to bead maybe a skill that can be mastered in minutes, the artistry involved in designing and executing a pattern can be complex. It is the aspect of learning how to bead that leads to the endless variety in the hobby. Do not worry about how to bead, if you are new to beadwork. You’ll find it very easy through the following tips.

Pattern
This is the first step of how to bead. The patterns can be as simple or complex as you like, but if you’re new and just learning how to bead, stick with something both simple and elegant. Start simply and as you learn more about how to bead, add layers of complexity as you like.

Color
In all the aspects of how to bead, color selection maybe the most challenging one. If you’re going for an elegant, classic look, you probably want complimentary colors in your design; if you are going for a zany, extravagant design, contrasting colors may be the key.

Medium
Beads come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials, ranging from plastic, glass, metal, wood, or others. For the beginners of learning how to bead, starting with two-mediums is recommended.  Design a few pieces and get comfortable with bead craft. When you feel that you’ve learned how to bead in a two-medium environment, begin branching out more into multi-medium mixed designs.
