16 Bead Pattern Ideas For Braids


When I ask the girls what color beads they want, they always respond “rainbow.” Using our same box of beads, we have come up with different patterns in order to keep their braids looking different each time.

1. Random

There is no pattern here. I literally pick beads from a bag and let it create

whatever pattern. The only consistency is the number of beads on each braid.

1 white, 3 pink, 1 white, 3 pink, 1 white

16. Mixed Materials

These wood beads did not come with the box of beads. But I mixed them with different shades of brown plastic beads to give an earth tone look.
