Poodle

We have already got a few tutorials on beaded dogs on our site, but there are so many dog breeds that I can't stop making them.

Today we will make one more dog, a 3D poodle.

We will need:

- size 10/0 seed beads of two colors: the main color and black color. Out of the main color beads we will make the dog's head, ears, body, legs and tail. You can choose any color you like as the main color. It can be white, brown or apricot color and even light blue as mine. Out of black color beads we will make a nose and eyes, so we need only three such beads;

- wire 0.2 mm thick.

A mouse with a piece of cheese

 

Today we will make a composition of two beaded things. They are a mouse and a piece of cheese. For making them we will use the technique of 3D beading on two segments of wire.

We will need the following materials:

For making a mouse

- size 8/0 seed beads of three colors: white (the main color), pink (for paws and tail) and black (for nose and eyes);

- wire 0.2 mm thick.

For making a piece of cheese

- size 10/0 seed beads of three colors: yellow (the main color), golden (for cheese "holes") and brown (for cheese "crust");

- wire 0.2 mm thick.

Monkey - the sign of the 2016 year

We continue our seasonal series of beading tutorials on winter and Christmas beadworks. As you know, the 2016 year is the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac. We already have a tutorial on a flat beaded monkey in brick stitch on our site and today we will make another monkey, in the technique of 3-D beading on two segments of wire.

We will need:
- size 10/0 seed beads of four colors: red, pink, black and white;
- wire 0.2 mm thick.

Beaded monkey in brick stitch

Holidays are coming sooner than you think! Maybe, it’s time to think about Christmas? As you know, the next 2016 year is the year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac. That's why today we will make a beaded monkey. It is a simple beadwork that can be made rather quickly if you have some experience in brick stitch bead weaving. This monkey, for example, can be used as a Christmas decoration or you can give it to your friends and family members as a Christmas gift. Everybody for sure will like it.

We will need:
- size 8 seed beads of six colors; I used seed beads of brown, pink, white, gray, red and black colors;
- nylon fishing line 0.25 mm thick and two beading needles (as usual in brick stitch, you can do with one needle only).

Bull

Today we will make a beaded 3D bull with a bell on its neck.
We will need:
- for the bull - size 8 seed beads of four colors: gray, black, dark-gray and brown;
- for the bell - size 10 seed beads of two colors: yellow and green;
- wire 0.3 mm thick for the bull and 0.2 mm thick for the bell;
- thin nylon fishing line and a needle for cross-linking of the finished beadwork (if necessary).
