I’ve
done the Alternating Up and Down Buttonhole in #5 perle (red), #8 perle (blue),
#8 Kreinik braid (gold), and two strands
of cotton floss (yellow). It was difficult at first until I figured out that the
first of the two stitches goes toward the center and the second goes away!
Using
the same threads, I added some beads for the beaded version of the stitch.

I am glad you find the 'grid' useful.
The Up and Down Buttonhole stitch is one where you need to concentrate; the Alternate version even more so! Then add beads and you need to think of nothing but what you are doing! However hard this stitch is, the result is always worth the effort. Your samples are looking great.
