Video Tutorial for Winter Renewal
The Great Bead Extravaganza 2026 Midwinter Market is here, and I am excited to be sharing a live design session as part of this special weekend. This video is where you can join me live or watch the replay as we spend some creative time working with my new Mirage bundle.
In this session, I will be working with the Mirage bundle and sharing a handful of specific design ideas you can recreate using the materials included. We will walk through two to three different design starts, focusing on how to approach the bundle, how the colors work together, and how to turn the components into finished jewelry you can actually wear.
This is a beginner-friendly, no-pressure live. It is not a formal step-by-step tutorial, but I will talk through my design decisions as I work so you can follow along, bead with me if you have the bundle, or take notes to create later. The goal is to help you feel confident knowing what to make with Mirage and how to get started without needing a pattern in front of you.
If you are watching the replay, this video can still be used as a reference for multiple design ideas and approaches using the Mirage bundle.
