Beading Information

Can I Sell the Beadwork Made From Your Patterns?

I am an independent artist and a small business owner who has worked very hard to create the beading kits, patterns and designs that you see. I am happy for you to sell any items you make using my tutorials, I ask that you credit me as the designer when displaying the work. This could be on the price tag perhaps. Please do not mass produce them (eg more than 30 items the same).

When sharing photos on the internet, please credit me as the pattern designer. Share the love!

What is a Virtual Workshop

Virtual classes are taught via Zoom and just like a regular beading class, but over the internet. They are a live class and not pre-recorded, so you will be able to ask me questions, speak with your classmates and see live demos.

Why Are You Called Pinkhot?

People often ask me about my brand name ‘Pinkhot’ and where it came from. It’s silly really but basically I love hot pink shades. I thought ‘Pinkhot’ it was a fun play on words as red hot = exciting, in demand! So I simply joined the two words together…

Shopping Information

I Haven’t Received my PDF Pattern!

There will be a link to your download in your confirmation email. Please double check your spam folder and the email address used to place your order. If you still have problems, please do drop me an email.

Are PDFs Downloadable?

Many of my beading patterns are available as a physical printed booklet tutorial OR as a digital PDF download of the instructions. If you choose the digital option, then your pattern will be emailed to you automatically and will always be available to you to download from your account, if you are signed in when you place your order.

Do You Ship Internationally?

Yes we ship all over the world except to the EU. For postage and packing rates please visit the Shipping page. For US customers, all duties are taken care of for you.

I live in the EU, why can’t I place an order?

Due to EU laws that make it very difficult for a very small business like mine, I am no longer allowed to sell to customers in the EU. It makes me very sad. You can read about the reasons why here.

I have plenty of ways you can still get involved, like my YouTube channel, with plenty of free tutorials. I also have a lovely Facebook group – The Pinkhot Bead Room, where you can find beadalongs and more. I hope you will join us there!
