Beaded Wild Animals

From tropical fish to sea animals, you'll find a tempting array of truly beautiful and clever animals perfect for key chains, pins and pendants.

In the spirit of her playful and popular first book, Totally Beads, Sonal Bhatt presents children with a delightful collection of more than 20 beaded animals, fruits, sea creatures, and even people. Bright, colorful, and utterly appealing, they’re great for adorning clothing, decorating book bags, wearing as jewelry, giving as gifts, or just showing off. And best of all, each vibrantly illustrated and carefully explained project is fun to make and well within the ability of kids trying this craft for the first time. A thorough introduction presents all the basics, from stringing to knotting, right at the start. Youngsters age 7 and up (pre-teens too!) will love fashioning a ladybug, butterfly, bat, seahorse, mermaid, bunny, grapes, and much more.

From penguins to anteaters, butterflies to kangaroos, witches on broomsticks to wizards with magic wands, these charming beaded projects are colorful, challenging, and original. The appealing variety features creatures of the sea, air, forest, and, of course, the imagination. Some--including a fun honeybear holding a hive with a bee on top--are beautifully lifelike, and they make great toys, hanging ornaments, jewelry, or display pieces. The detail on each one is amazing too: a red-bearded Viking sits in a dragon boat, carrying his shield and holding oars to row. Best of all, they’re easy to craft, with all the information on techniques and materials thoroughly outlined in photos and diagrams, and accompanied by professional tips.
