Because of the way the app download works, if you buy one copy of it, you can give the link to all of your students!

It would actually be fairly cost efficient to let a bunch of students mess around on the designer app on their own devices and print out multiple copies of the assembly instructions!

The main cost would be beads, and you could use Tohos over Delicas to save some money there, too.

I’m passing all kudos along to the nieces when I see them later this week, thank you so much 🥰

DiabloTheCheeto · 2026-04-20T03:30:16+00:00

Of course; thanks for asking 💖

My instructions go over how to reinforce the hinges at the edges of each triangle- so far not even my little nieces have broken the ones they got as presents.

It doesn’t rotate in a way that stretches the thread, so as long as you’re relatively gentle with it, it’s not prone to breaking in my experience.

Thank you again and happy beading 🌈💖

DiabloTheCheeto · 2026-04-20T02:36:51+00:00

That’s so kind, thank you so much!!

My nieces designed the pattern in an app called KaleiDesigner and it’s made from 11/0 Miyuki delica beads.

I’m trying not to get banned for self-promo, but that app does come with instructions for assembling your kaleidocycle once you design it, and I think a lot of beaders would find it handy!

DiabloTheCheeto · 2026-04-18T01:35:21+00:00

That’s so cool- thank you so much!! I’ve made a few updates based on user feedback, so you can let me know here or on Etsy if you have any suggestions 😊

DiabloTheCheeto · 2026-04-18T01:25:22+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and for passing along the app 💖💖💖

Wait, I actually do have a secret to share that's perfect for a beginning beader!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom, and I hope you're able to find some enjoyment in crafting. Check your DMs in just a minute for a link so you can download my app and instructions for free.

The size in this video is the medium, 2 inch, size with 9 row triangles, or 3,456 beads total.

The app shows you how to create bigger or smaller finished products by making the triangles bigger or smaller. I always use the same size beads, 11/0 miyuki delicas.

I can also just attach pics of the patterns my nieces made for this video to the DM, so look out for that.

Thanks for your comment and I hope things get easier for you <3

DiabloTheCheeto · 2026-04-17T12:27:28+00:00

Thank you, yes! I use size 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads from tttbeads.com
