Give a child a pile of beads and a piece of cord, and half an hour later they are holding a ladybug that stands up on their desk. That is the quiet magic of 3D bead weaving, and this book teaches it from the very first bead.
Inside this book:
- 40 complete animal projects, arranged from easiest to hardest. Ladybug, butterfly, turtle and penguin at the beginning. Dragon, unicorn, peacock and red panda by the end.
- Exact bead counts for every single project. Never add some beads. Every colour, every quantity, every row, in a table you check before you start.
- Visual pattern maps that show each row bead by bead in the real colours, so a child can see the animal before they build it.
- Numbered steps and Checkpoints that say exactly what the animal should look like at each stage, so a mistake gets caught at row four instead of row twelve.
- A full-colour photo of every finished animal, plus a Bead Tip and a Creative Challenge for each project.
- Clear beginner lessons on cord, tension, colour changes, shaping and finishing, with simple diagrams.
Built to be finished, not abandoned. Project 1 teaches the cross-weave. Project 4 teaches a flat base. Project 10 joins a head to a body. By the time your child reaches the dragon, they already know every technique it needs. Nothing in this book arrives without warning.
Screen-free, and quietly educational. Counting, sequencing, colour recognition, pattern reading, spatial reasoning, planning and patience, all disguised as making a fox.
Perfect for ages 8 to 12, and younger crafters from about six can manage the beginner animals with an adult helping. Ideal for rainy days, school holidays, homeschool craft time, sleepovers, and grandparents looking for something to do together.
Finished animals stand on a shelf, become gifts, or turn into keychain charms. There is a bonus section on designing your own creature from scratch, nine designer challenges, and an achievement page to fill in at the end.
All you need is beads, cord and a pair of scissors. Scroll up and start with the ladybug.
