Create Bead Art With Your Own Photos

(Scroll down to view video demonstrations)

Photo Pearls is a unique new concept combining the art of beading with technology, taking beading crafts to a new level.

Its patented software is quick to instal and easy to use, enabling you to transform any digital images including your personal photos (family, pets, friends, holiday pics), images from the web and even scanned images and photos into personalised bead art.

In addition to the Photo Pearls Bead Kit, bead supplies include Refill Pegboards, Refill Adhesive Paper and Refill Beads so you can keep designing, limited only by your imagination.

• Refill beads come packaged in resealable clear bottles (easy pour & tidy storage) with 3,500 beads of a single numbered colour.

• Refills are essential bead supplies for the Photo Pearls Bead Art Kit and can also be used for all your other beading projects.

• Checkout Photo Pearls Refills and other bead supplies at the Art & Craft dropdown menu.

Suitable for 10 years and above.

How Does Bead Art Software Work?

When you open the software it will ask you to select your photo or image from your computer. The software then enables you to:

• Decide how large you want your completed artwork to be

• Position and crop your image (if you wish press the button to see your photo on the screen converted into a series of coloured beads (note: the software takes a copy of your photo – the original photo remains untouched).

Now you can:

• Adjust light/dark

• Adjust contrast

• Change colours or remove colours entirely

• Even adjust the colour of individual beads on screen

•  And now you are ready to print out your pattern along with a list of the beads required to complete your artwork.

• The program will print out the pattern in black and white or in colour on standard A4 paper with a series of small circles and numbers representing the beads (the larger the image the more A4 sheets printed). Each circled number corresponds with one of the 30 exclusive Photo Pearl plastic bead colours organised and numbered in the tray provided.

• Place each A4 sheet under one of the pegboards and start placing the coloured beads over their corresponding numbers. Now peal one side of the provided adhesive paper and place onto the beads – this pegboard is now complete.

• Repeat the above steps for each printed A4 pattern, then link each pegboard as shown on the pattern (the pattern tells you the row and column number of each sheet in relation to all other sheets. Each pegboard has 4 hooks and 4 eyelets to enable them to be easily linked together.

• Once you have linked all boards together, peal the back layer off the adhesive sheets and press on the backing board

...and there you have it, your very own hand-made artwork for home, school or as a unique personalised gift for family or friends.
