Description
Do you need a special gift? Then, why not bead this personalised pen? The pattern is simple to follow and you can make it in the colours of your choice. It includes two separate halves: the name plate and the fancy stripes to tone.
What is a pen beading pattern?
Very simply, a little piece of flat Peyote that can be wrapped around a pen to decorate it. You can personalise your design in any number of ways. So, these create brilliant gifts for anyone. Although, I have to say, I have a hard time parting with mine!
I have discovered a second thing about a beaded pen pattern. It’s very addictive. I am not the only one who knows this. I was showing my designs to my regular beading class and I soon ended up with everyone addicted to beaded pens. So, don’t say I didn’t warn you…
About the Personalised Pen Beading Pattern
I needed a gift for a friend, so I designed this personalised pen pattern. It features two halves, one with the name and one as an abstract striped pattern. You get both patterns here. It is easy to personalise the colouring to your tastes. The personalised pen beading pattern gives you a chart with the design, plus a Peyote alphabet so you can design the name you need. You just need to know how to bead in Peyote stitch and how to follow a Peyote beading chart. If you don’t already know those things, I have an answer to that problem.
Pop up to the free tutorials section (this will open in a new tab) and find the tutorials for odd count Peyote, even count Peyote, Brick stitch and Following a Peyote pattern. (Plus, you might want to grab a few others on your way through!). Then come back here. These will give you all the technical information you need.
Next, you have a little choice to make. You need to pick an option from the drop-down menu above. If this is your first beaded pen, you will want to buy the Personalised pen pattern and the general instructions (that’s chart + general instructions option). If you already have the full instructions, or you know what you’re doing, just get the chart option. You can also just get the general instructions if you want a great tutorial that shows you how to follow a pattern chart and size it accurately.
