Beading design tool

Abstract

The Beading Design Tool is a tool for creating bead designs utilizing the actual beads intended for the design. The beads are arranged on the Beading Design Tool, either in straight stitch or offset stitch configuration. The Beading Design Tool can accommodate various sized beads. The beader can easily alter a design, or correct an error, by simply removing those beads no longer wanted in the design and replacing them with other beads. Manipulating the design is easy and fast. Upon completion of the creation, the beader may transpose the beads on the Beading Design Tool to the loom, or free hand composition, thereby minimizing the possible error of adding, deleting a bead or selection of an incorrect color. The beader may also elect to keep the design on the Beading Design Tool as a guide and create the finished piece using a second set of beads.
