Appliqué beadworkComing soon

Draw the shape. The rows follow it.

Appliqué beads are sewn down onto felt along lines, with no grid to count. Draw a petal, a leaf or an outline of your own, and CraftCanvas lays the rows: the outline first, then rows echoing it inward one bead apart, with the felt cut around the whole piece.

Laid out from the shape

The center sits on the petals. Their rows stop at its edge.

A shape on top cuts the ones under it, so the rows below turn at its edge instead of running under it. A cabochon gets rings of beads around the stone. Change an outline and its rows are laid out again.

The bead count

573 beads in 8 colors, by Toho code.

Every color in the piece with its bead count and an estimate in grams, so you buy the right tubes before you cut the felt.

Measured in millimeters

A design is drawn at the size you sew it, Toho 11/0 round beads at their own length, so the template and the piece agree.

Mirror and turn

Draw one side and mirror it, or draw one petal and turn it two or four times about the middle. Every copy is beaded, counted and on the template.

Shapes, not designs

CraftCanvas comes with outlines to start from and no finished designs. What you draw with them is yours.
