Welcome to Beadflowers!
Here you will find the more-than-500 beading patterns I designed and published. They are now presented in a series of books, all available from your local Amazon site. Keep scrolling down this page to view the details of each book. Or click on the button below to purchase immediately…
Some individual tutorials are still currently available in my Etsy store, should you wish to browse those….
And if you are already enrolled in one of my online classes, you can access it from: https://my-world-of-beads.teachable.com
Just log in to your account and you will see your available classes.
I began beading in 2003, quite by accident (you can read more of the story here). I had always been interested in craft and design, so when I first learned to bead, it seemed perfectly natural to me to create my own designs, rather than follow tutorials from others. Over the years, I created and published over 500 individual beading tutorials, selling them on the Beadflowers website and through the Beadflowers Etsy store.
Now, I have turned them into a series of books. Each book offers you many, many tutorials, arranged by theme. You will find all of these books on your local Amazon site. Here on this page, I would like to introduce you to each of them, so that you can see which titles you will enjoy.
You may also wish to invest in the first three volumes in this series, all of which cover the beading basics. These were the blogs that I used to share on the My World of Beads website. I created that site to help others find their way into beading, and to improve their skills. So, those three volumes will introduce you to the beads, threads and other materials. They will teach you the basic techniques. And they will share a wealth of information to help you with such diverse things as choosing your own colour schemes, entering beading competitions, publishing and selling your own work. Just follow this link to browse those books and choose whatever you need.
For now, let’s get back to the series of books that shares my actual beading projects…
Beadflowers Beading Patterns Book Series
Enjoy a diverse range of titles, covering all the many patterns I created. Each book is available from your local Amazon store. I will be linking to the UK site, but you can easily find your own country’s site by replacing the .co.uk in the web address with .com or .jp, or whatever is appropriate to your local version of Amazon. You can also search for the books by title or using the ISBN number.
Projects for making jewellery
You can enjoy two volumes that cover my necklace tutorials, two volumes that cover bracelets, a volume covering earrings, and a volume covering beaded beads. You will be using a range of different techniques.
Tutorials for non-jewellery
You will also find a number of volumes creating non-jewellery items. We have French beaded flowers, beaded ornaments, beaded pens, beaded boxes (four volumes!), beaded Nativity, deck of cards and more…
Bead Embroidery
Perhaps you would like the comprehensive guide to bead embroidery? This book gives you both projects and also a guide to basic techniques and creating your own designs.
Keep reading to find out exactly what is included in each book. I have given you images of all the projects, and included the complete contents list so you can see exactly what you will be getting. Enjoy!

Testimonials for Katie’s Beading Tutorials
Dahlia Beaded Beads
“Good and clear instructions and much fun to make. The dahlia beads are also multi-use flowers, adaptable to make more jewellery.”
Akoya
Beaded Cat Pendant
“I managed to complete this pattern despite having no previous experience of the stitches and have gone on to make more cats. As usual the steps are clearly laid out with good photographs and stitch diagrams. A very cute cat pattern which will gladden the heart of any crazy cat lady!”
Lesley
Liquorice Allsorts Beaded Beads
“This is one of my favourite patterns to make. Katie’s instructions show step by step how to shape the different sweets and once you understand the shaping, the pattern is easily adapted to bead around a base bead i.e. wooden or plastic bead. I have used this pattern to shape the sweets without any filling and shaping over a base bead, also using size 11 beads and using Delica beads. A lot of fun can be had trying the different methods. And, of course, having a bowl of all-sorts nearby for inspiration!“
