When We Can't Catch A Live Bird, We Bead A Penguin 🐧

avatar

There is this bird in my neighborhood; every time we pass by it, my son always points and asks me to look. He loves this bird so very much that I wish I could give it to him, but since I can't fly high and catch this bird, I have decided to give him a beaded penguin as a little part of his second Children's Day present.IMG_20250520_151437_760~2.jpgIMG_20250521_174704_630.jpg

So guy, come along and let me show you how it all went down.

Materials used:
Blue, white, yellow, red, and black seed beads. 0.3 fish line and a pair of scissors.

Step-by-step process:The process is straightforward and not very time-consuming.

Step 1:
I put 6 blue beads on a 100cm fishing line and then crossed both fishing lines with the sixth bead.IMG_20250519_183051_233.jpg
Step 2:
I put 4 blue beads on my left fishline then crossed both fishing lines with the fourth bead.IMG_20250519_183423_683.jpg
Step 3:
Here I started to introduce the white color to form the chest and its stomach. I passed my right fishing line through the next bead, put two white beads and one blue bead on my left fishline and then crossed both fishing lines with the third bead.InShot_20250520_164639881.jpg
