Free online and downloadable instruction for bead crochet techniques
Tubular bead crochet
Our YouTube video is acclaimed as the all-time best video on the tubular crochet technique. Our learning kit includes all materials specific to this video. Follow along with a download PDFs or right and left-handed beaders.
Comprehensive video tutorial for this technique using the single bead crochet stitch instead of slip stitch. Covers the basic steps, troubleshooting, and finishing in clear photos and diagrams. Follow along with a downloadable PDF.
This single crochet technique differs from tubular techniques on that you step up at the end of each round. We teach it in bracelet form but it's excellent for creating cases and bags.
Because of the simple nature of its design we recommend this kit for learning. It's easy to see if you're in pattern and the finishing is simple and quick.
The same very basic technique applies to both tubular slip stitch crochet and Euro bead crochet

ADDING A NEW THREAD IN BEAD CROCHET
This skill is beyond helpful in large projects or in correcting threading errors.
Because leaders in remote locations do not have access to retail bead stores and must often order from multiple sources at great shipping expense, I've included links to products available on Amazon, for ease and cost of shipping. As part of the affiliate program I will be paid a very small stipend each time a beader buys from Amazon using a link from my site.
