A Brick Stitch Graph Paper refers to a type of writing paper that looks like a regular grid resembling a brick wall and is used to create patterns for various beadwork handicrafts and embroideries.
Alternate Name:
This tool is perfect for DIY creators that make their own jewelry - bracelets in particular - and artwork with recurring patterns. Additionally, this lined paper can be used for geometric patterns and illustrations that require symmetry - whether you prefer to work with beads and decorate different items with small objects made out of plastic, wood, or glass or you are an expert with a thread and needle and want to make an intricate embroidery design you will later bring to life, it all starts with a precise pattern that is hard to create without a graph paper intended for this purpose.

There are different sizes of beads used by people that love to work with their hands - use a size chart for the objects at your disposal to know exactly what size your beads are and whether the graph paper has to be increased or decreased in scale. Once you have determined the size is right, look at the shapes depicted on the paper - brick stitch may be suitable for cylinder beads or round beads which will impact the eventual look of the pattern you will make. Use different colors for various elements that will comprise the illustration you are working on and experiment with the lines and contours to make sure the image is clear and easy to interpret especially if you are making a pattern for someone else to translate into reality.
