What It Does:
- - 🧰 Load and preview over 270 templates for you to edit and customize.
- - ✂️ Edit paper bead related templates with zoom for detailed work.
- - 📂 Create freely without worry about measurements, math, or alignment.
- Why Paper Bead Makers Struggle:
- - Most design software can make strip sheets, but it’s slow, tedious, and not built for bead making.
- - Many online templates are misaligned or incorrectly sized for US Letter paper.
- - Pretty designs often roll into unpredictable shapes because the strip geometry isn’t bead‑friendly.
- - A lot of templates waste paper by leaving unused gaps or inefficient layouts
- - Scrapbook paper patterns rarely line up in a way that produces consistent color or pattern placement across strips
-
Why It’s Different:
- - Created by a craftsperson with 50+ years of crafting experience.
- - Built by one person, not a team of developers
- - Developed by someone who has been making paper beads since 1996.
- - Designed to be simple, intuitive, and creativity‑focused.
- - Under 200 MB, fully self‑contained, and works offline.
- - Includes a generous library of images you can use in your projects—commercial use allowed for anything you create.
- - You’re free to sell anything you make with the app (just don’t sell the images, expansion packs, or the app itself).
-
Pricing:
- - Free — includes the full app and one starter template.
Sheetworks Studio v2.6 is here — rebuilt, expanded, and more inspiring than ever.
Taking extra time before releasing Version 2 gave me the chance to rethink what this app could become. Instead of focusing only on paper beads, Version 2 now includes a wider range of creative templates inspired by the projects I share on my site (crochet not included).
That extra time let me refine the tools, polish the experience, and make sure every template feels purposeful and fun to use.
The result is a cleaner, more versatile studio designed to support your craft journey and bring fresh creativity to your fingertips.
- Lots of Templates: Over 270 pre-designed bead sheets, strip sheets, office files, and craft sheets ready to customize.
- Included Images: Includes all images from the online Digital Paper Designer—and more. Use them freely in your creations (just don’t sell the images themselves).
- Save to PDF: You can’t print directly from the app, but you can save your work as a PDF and print it anytime.
