Description
I take a sign with me to conventions that is similar to this. The purpose of that sign is to get people to stop and look closer at my items so that they can really appreciate the unique little works of art that they are! At conventions I often get mistaken for selling over priced shrinky dinks and people will walk away loudly exclaiming how expensive I am. I want people to understand that bead weaving is very time consuming and requires a ridiculous amount of patience. I completely assemble the keychains from 3 different sized split rings and chain. I also create the necklaces from a large spool of cotton cord, fold over cord ends, industrial strength E6000 glue, jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. Every single Miyuki Delica seed bead is individually woven into place with a needle and thermally bonded bead weaving thread. Bead weaving creates a finished piece of work that is both flexible, durable, and double sided.Related content

Hi
Would you consider making a full-length tutorial for these?
Where did you learn to make them?

Probably not since the technique is called square stitch and there are already many tutorials that will teach you how to do it online. I actually learned from a bead weaving book, but a tutorial should be just as good or better.

Interesting! Great job explaining the process/materials involved. I don't know what kind of price you set at conventions, but I think your etsy prices are very reasonable!

How do you make your patterns for these? There are so many colors that are placed in just the right places!

I just zoom in on the game sprites and match the colors of the pixels to my beads!
