This is a tiny beaded snack with big personality. Musubi is one name, Spam is the other.
This brand new project PDF brings a beloved Hawaiian classic into bead form using Cylin beads and brick stitch. It is playful, graphic, and completely charming. The kind of project that makes you smile halfway through and then immediately want to make another.
Designed by Jayne Tokumi of Bead Crumbs, the beaded Musubi is small enough to finish in one sitting and detailed enough to feel satisfying. Turn it into a charm, earrings, or a conversation starter that lives on your bag.
Grab the PDF, thread your needle, and bead yourself something unexpected.

About the Designer
We would like to introduce you to Jayne of Bead Crumbs. A creator from Hawaii with a knack for turning tiny stitches into tiny stories. Her bead patterns have gathered a loyal following because each one begins as her own hand drawn sketch and grows into a character you can wear or gift.
Jayne joins us with a bright new series of projects featuring our Cylin beads. Her style fits them beautifully. Playful. Precise. Full of personality. She tests every project herself which gives her work a real handmade spirit that people love.
She ordinarily sells her patterns on Etsy where her designs have a devoted following. For John Bead, she is creating special projects that we are sharing at no cost and we hope makers will enjoy this little gift from her bench to theirs.
We selected Jayne to be our newest designer because Cylin beads are now available at Ben Franklin stores in Hawaii. Our collaboration is perfectly timed! Now our Hawaian frineds can shop local! Ben Franklin Crafts stores are conveniently located on three islands to serve their customers. Their craft stores have everything and anything on a crafter’s wish list.
We are thrilled to welcome her and introduce her upcoming designs. Get ready for pieces that feel bright and joyful. Follow Jayne on Instagram @beadcrumbshawaii and see where she takes this next chapter with us.
