Airplane
Today we will make a beaded airplane - a product that looks complicated but in fact is quite simple, as it consists of various parts, each of which is done with an easy weaving technique that we’ve already used earlier.
We will need:
- seed beads #8; I used seed beads of seven colors: green, blue, light-blue, red, brown, grey and yellow;
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter (it is desirable the wire to be reasonably rigid, in this case the wings would be better keeping the shape);
- thin fishing line and a needle for cross-linking of finished object.
A bracelet of bugle beads with stone-like beads
Today we’ll do a bracelet that make up a kit with earrings we've made earlier.
We will need:
- size 3 bugle beads of orange color,
- size 10 seed beads of yellow color,
- stone-like beads about 6 mm in size (I used dark-brown faceted stones of 6x5 mm in size),
- a clasp for a bracelet,
- nylon thread and two beading needles (instead of a nylon thread you may use a thin fishing line).

Tulip
To make a beaded tulip we need:
- seed beads #8 of yellow, green and brown colors,
- bugle beads #3 of green colors (instead of the bugle beads you can take ordinary seed beads),
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter,
- green thread for stem winding.
I’ve made a tulip out of a large seed beads, but you can use seed beads of a smaller size, for example #11.
Chinchilla
To make this little beaded animal we need:
- seed beads size 8 of grey, black and pink colors;
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter;
- thin nylon fishing line and a beading needle for cross-linking of finished figure.
We will use a 3-D beading technique that is well known to us. The upper tiers of beads will form the back of the chinchilla, and the lower tiers of beads - its tummy.
