The five free bead weaving patterns in this new eBook take readers from the basics of a right angle weave, to variations in beading techniques involving a variety of beading materials. Each beading technique is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos.

“One of the nice features of right-angle weave is that it's not fussy about the beads having to be all the same size,” says Christine Prussing, author of "Beading with Right-Angle Weave" (Interweave, 2004). Prussing is one of five top designers—joined by BeadingDaily.com Editor Leslie Rogalski, Gwen Fisher, Tina Koyama, and Shelley Nybakke—whose work is featured in this new eBook.

"Right-Angle Weave: 5 Free Beadweaving Patterns" offers five projects that show the wide range of jewelry that can be made with right-angle weave:

Project # 1 in the Free Right-Angle Weave Patterns Collection
Silver Comet, a beading design by BeadingDaily.com Editor Leslie Rogalski. These dramatic beaded earrings are just 90° turns of basic flat right-angle weave; they hang askew on the ear wire like zigzags of the night sky.

Project #2 in the Free Right-Angle Weave Patterns Collection
Ribbons, a beading design by Christine Prussing, author of Beading with Right-Angle Weave (Interweave, 2004). The design possibilities of this simple technique are endless! This basic beaded necklace is a long ribbon of inch-wide beadwork with the ends joined at a right angle.

Project #3 in the Free Right-Angle Weave Patterns Collection
Archimedes's Star, a beading design by Gwen Fisher. The intricate weaving used to create this beaded bracelet forms an Archimedean-tiling pattern with hexagons and triangles. The clasp employs fringe to create button toggles that attach right into the holes in the weave.

Project #4 in the Free Right-Angle Weave Patterns Collection
Triple Quatrefoil, a beading design by Tina Koyama. When Tina chose to work with this pretty beaded bracelet pattern, she immediately saw right angle weave stitches. The quatrefoil shape can be seen in the bracelet base, in the three-dimensional embellishments, and even in the clasp attachment (thus, the project name). Learn to make your own version of this right angle weave bracelet.

Project #5 in the Free Right-Angle Weave Patterns Collection
Egyptian Cuff, a beading design by Shelley Nybakke. This metal-bead cuff has just the right amount of crystal sparkle, worthy of an Egyptian princess. Worked in segments, the multilayer right angle weave rectangles are first woven, then connected with loops of beads. Shelley's project is currently the most popular free project on Beading Daily with more than 60,000 downloads.

“Whether you want to learn right angle weave beading, or are already a pro, you're sure to enjoy this collection of 5 free beadweaving designs from Beading Daily,” says Editor Leslie Rogalski.
