Learn How to Stitch Beaded Ropes Using Herringbone Stitch, Spiral Rope & More

Beaded ropes have come a long way in the last few years, evolving from a simple solution for hanging a beaded pendant or making a simple beaded bracelet to becoming stand-alone works of wearable beaded art. Beaded rope patterns can be made from just about any off-loom bead-weaving stitch, including right-angle weave, peyote stitch, herringbone stitch, square stitch, or brick stitch. Working a tubular form of any off-loom bead-weaving stitch will give you a beaded rope that's unique and just full of possibilities for embellishing!

Adding beaded embellishments to your beaded rope patterns is half the fun of creating with these tubular bead-weaving stitches. Whether you prefer to include pearls and crystals, tiny glass beads, or even more seed beads of varying sizes and shapes, you can create unique beaded rope patterns for any occasion.
