Rooster and the full chicken family

We continue our series of beaded chickens. We have already made a young chicken and a hen. To get the full chicken family, today we will make a rooster. This chicken family can be an original Easter decoration, as well as a wonderful gift.

To make a beaded rooster I used:
- size 8 seed beads of six colors: orange, red, green, yellow, black and gray-pink;
- two 6 mm sequins;
- a wooden egg (you can also use a plastic egg);
- thin nylon fishing line (0,2 mm thick) and a beading needle.

Chicken family

Today we will learn how to make a mother hen for the young chicken that we made earlier.
To make this hen I used:
- Czech seed beads of #8 size of four colors: white, red, black and grey-pink;
- transparent pink sequins of 6 mm in diameter;
- wooden egg (you can also use a plastic egg);
- nylon line of 0.2 mm in diameter and a needle for beading.

Young chicken

To make a beaded young chicken we will need:
- Czech seed beads of three colors: yellow (of #10 size), red (also of #10 size) and black (of #8 size);
- white sequins of 5 mm in diameter;
- nylon thread and a needle for beading;
- rubber ball of 25 mm in diameter.

Easter Egg decorated with beads in the technique of brick stitch

Today we will make one more beaded Easter Egg. This Egg can be an original Easter gift. For making it we will use the technique of brick stitch.
We will need:
- size 8 seed beads, I used seed beads of orange, green, yellow and light-blue colors for the middle part of the egg with illustration and besides that seed beads of light-green and light-lilac colors for the tops of the egg,
- wooden or plastic egg, I used the egg of 55 mm in height and 40 mm in diameter,
- nylon thread and two beading needles.

Easter Egg decorated with beads in the square stitch technique

Today we will make one more beaded Easter Egg. For making it we will use the square stitch bead weaving technique. This technique is very simple, but is quite time-consuming for implementing, because the egg is completely covered with beads and the beads are plaited in one by one. But this technique allows you to get neat rows of beads that lie one above the other and you can make a variety of patterns on the resulting canvas. However, for the first time we’ll do without patterns and just braid the egg by colored rows of beads.
We will need:
- size 11 seed beads, I used seed beads of five colors: orange, yellow, green, purple and pink,
- wooden or plastic egg,
- nylon thread and a beading needle.

Easter Egg decorated with beads in the netting technique

Today we will make an Easter Egg decorated with beads in the netting technique. It will be an original Easter gift that you may give to friends and family.
We will need:
- size 11 seed beads of two colors (I used yellow and brown colors),
- wooden or plastic egg,
- nylon thread and a beading needle (instead of a nylon thread you can take a fishing line 0.2 mm in diameter).
