Santa's sleigh
Recently we made reindeer and sledge, and earlier - Santa Claus and Snow-maiden. Now we will collect all these items into the Santa's sleigh.
Decorated Christmas tree
The New Year and the Christmas are coming, so today we will make a Christmas tree decorated with Christmas balls and garland.
We will need:
- for Christmas tree:
- seed beads #8 of three colors: white, light green and dark green,
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter,
- for Christmas balls:
- round beads of different colors of 8 and 10 ΠΌΠΌ in diameter,
- seed beads of the same colors as of round beads or just of a white color; these beads should be a little bigger than a threading hole of the round beads (I used seed beads #10),
- bead caps,
- wire 0.2 mm in diameter,
- for garland:
- drop beads #8 of two bright colors (I used drop beads of blue and amber colors),
- wire 0.2 mm in diameter.
Christmas bells
We continue making products of our "winter" series and today we will make Christmas bells out of beads and wire. These bells will be with fir-tree twigs on the background and with a bow-knot.
To make these bells we will need:
- size 8 seed beads of five colors: yellow, red, white, light green and dark green;
- three round beads 6 mm in diameter of garnet color;
- wire 0.2 mm in diameter.
Sledge
In order to make a beaded team of Santa Claus, today we will make a sledge.
We will need:
- size 8 seed beads of three colors (I used seed beads of pink, brown and green colors);
- a piece of wire 0.3 mm in diameter 1.7 m long.
As the base pattern for this sledge we will use our pattern of a rocking chair.
Snow-maiden
Today we'll do another product of our "winter" series and for the coming New Year holidays we will make a beaded Snow-maiden. It can either be used as a Christmas tree decoration, or in various combinations with other beaded Christmas figures.
We will need:
- seed beads #8 of seven colors: blue and white for clothes, beige for a face, yellow for hair and braids, turquoise for eyes and bows, one orange bead for a nose and two pink beads for lips,
- one white round bead of 6 ΠΌΠΌ in diameter,
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter.
Beaded candy
We continue making various beaded items using the technique of making beaded beads that we learned earlier. Today we will make a beaded candy.
For the each candy we will need:
- a 8 mm round bead;
- size 10 czech seed beads of two colors (for the tutorial I used seed beads of blue and yellow colors);
- two seed beads size 8 of a similar color to one of the colors of small seed beads;
- thin nylon fishing line (0,2 mm thick) and a beading needle.
Beaded Bead
Today we'll cover a round bead with seed beads, and so make a beaded bead. There are many different ways of making beaded beads, but we will use, perhaps, the easiest one.
We will need:
- a round bead 8 mm in diameter;
- czech seed beads size 10;
- thin nylon fishing line (0,2 mm in diameter) and a beading needle.

Little cat in the parallel weaving technique
Our site is intended primarily for newcomers to beading. Today, therefore, we will make one more very simple product - a cat in the plane-parallel technique of weaving. This cat is well suited, for example, for teaching beading to children.
We require the following materials:
- seed beads #8: grey for a body, one orange bead for a nose and two green beads for eyes;
- 50 cm of wire 0.3 mm in diameter.

Bellflower
To make the beaded bellflower you will need:
- seed beads #11: blue (you can also take light blue or lilac-colored beads), white, yellow and green,
- wire 0.2 mm in diameter,
- green thread for the winding of stems.
I wove some flowers out of blue beads and the others out of lilac-colored beads. So the bouquet of flowers has turned out more bright.
