Anyone have any suggestions for some patterns that look nice with seed beads? i have a bunch in a lot of different colours - i’ve used them on a vertical wave but interested to hear what patterns others have used/think would look good with seed beads. thank you!

Well, I have #98052, #98053, #102487, #102488, #102489, and #201641. I hope this helps. 😊 I think mostly alphas do the job, but maybe there are some normals out there

I did #174122 with TOHO 8/0 and imho it ended up great. Also just like the user above me said, you wanna look through the alphas as they are the easiest to do especially with a loom. Tho, keep in mind, depending on your beads they might end up slightly warped horizontaly. You can do normals (e.g. #140386) with an odd peyote stitch, but it has the reverse problem (might end up squished vertically) Though, from what I heard if you have Miyuki Delica they can look great.
For my reccs (aside these two), I do think these would look amazing: #199883, #202501, #184490, #199199, #159584.

TL;DR you wanna make something that can handlle slight warping and still look good (abstrract, non-ideal, natural shapes, etc) and avoid things with text and things that need to be very precise to be readable.
Hope this helps! ^^

I didnt mean to send yet, but anyhow there's a tag for patterns that use beads as well, but most are more of a: weave in beads along with regular knots. here is also a tutorial for a simple one:

If you want to make a picture type bracelet with various beads, I suggest looking at popular alpha bracelets. heres a tutorial for that:

maybe with some skill you can try these but add beads, but I am not good enough to try myself, so its wizardry to me
