Design tool and resources for beaders

The design tool on the Swarovski website is a tool for those who are interested in designing beaded items. You can start a design from scratch, or use existing templates to create designs, calculate what materials are required, save and print your designs. I used it to work out possible arrangements of beads along a crazy quilt seam embellishment but you could use it to design beaded motifs too.

The Swarovski site also has tutorials on beading and free patterns to download
