Summer 2026 Secret Beadalong Pattern

This Secret Beadalong is designed to be beaded over 9 days... and you also have the option of signing-up for a video & written version rather than just this written version.
If you purchase this one it will be just written instructions so if you want the videos as well then please visit here

It's time for another Secret Beadalong!

This summer I have decided to revisit a Beadalong from recent times with some changes...

The Secret Beadalong is designed to be done over 9 days (the 'beading-along-together' part will be 20th-28th June 2026 but you can bead it as & when you desire once you have the instructions) and each day will take around 30-90 minutes beading to complete.

The full requirements list is not complicated and only contains items you should easily be able to find (or which may already be in your stash). The general requirements are:

  • Size 15 Miyuki seed beads
  • Size 11 Miyuki seed beads
  • Size 11 Cylinder beads e.g Delicas or Aikos
  • Beading needle and thread of choice (I recommend a flexible thread and needle as explained in the requirements)

As always the project is a complete secret (but I can reveal it is items that can be jewellery or home decoration...) and is designed as a personal challenge for you.

The project is suitable for most levels of beader (you will need knowledge of Peyote Stitch and be comfortable working with small beads) and has brand new components and design ideas perfect to offer something new to any more advanced beaders but can also interchange with a previous summer Beadalong...

The timetable is:

  • Within 2 working days (usually much sooner): you'll be added to the email update list and receive a welcome email
  • April: you'll receive the full requirements list
  • May: you'll be sent the 'Essentials' (details of techniques along with tips & terminology)
  • June: you'll get an email detailing more about how the Beadalong works and the full instructions
  • 19th June: the daily instructions emails will begin

When you purchase the pattern you will be added to the mailing list (this can at least 2-working days depending on your and my time zone) and after that you'll get all the emails automatically.

This pattern is available at a discount to my Newsletter subscribers (please enter the code from my newsletter) and to previous beadalong purchasers so keep an eye out for the email with the discount code in.

You can follow the progress of the beadalong on my Secret Beadalong Facebook group and there you can also see some of what has been beaded during previous Beadalongs (and you can find the old Facebook page to see older ones here).
