#PONY BEAD PARROT PATTERN FREE#

This woman does wonderful flat patterns and they are free for personal use. You can compare this Red Macaw Beaded Earring PATTERN 310 on Etsy to your image to see what a parrot made with Japanese Delica beads looks like.Īnother couple of FREE parrot patterns made in the same way as this one. There are gaps because this was worked with Czech seed beads that aren't as precisely cut as Japanese TOHO and Delica beads. Now, you have one needle on each side of 6 red beads and you are ready to start the next row = a solid red row of 6 red beads.

That needle will be exiting between a red bead and a black bead. Then, work the needle through the beads until it exits the 6th red bead added on that row. When you have finished working the second row of 6 red beads and 4 black beads, Just loop one more black bead to the last 2 black beads added (makes the bend at the of the beak). Pass the other needle through the LAST white bead and continue until you exit the FIRST red bead. Row 3) Whichever needle is on the right, add 3 red beads and 5 white beads. You should have one needle on each side of the 6 red beads. Row 2) Put 6 red beads on needle #1, then pass Needle #2 through all 6 beads, starting from the LAST one added. You should have one needle on each side of 4 red beads. Pass needle #1 through the LAST 4 beads added to needle #2. Row 01) Put 3 red beads on needle #1 and 7 red beads on needle #2. Start at the top and work down to the fringe. ☺įor extra fun not always found on the blog, like us on Facebook here and find us on Instagram here.So, this flat (2D) type pattern is usually done with twin needles. This activity has been out for several days now, is still out currently (dried up play dough and all), and gets some decent attention each day… A hit in my books.

Not only has this activity been fun and great for discussing colours and patterns, but it’s also great fine motor practice too! Fitting the tiny beads onto the tiny dowels requires some serious concentration. She realized that the stripes in fact made patterns, and ‘read’ each one out to me. Shortly after beginning the activity, I realized that the dough-filled pots allowed the dowels to sink down as she added beads, so I changed things up a little bit and just used a play dough pancake to hold the sticks up instead. (Just look at that little face… Makes me melt!) Of course she immediately realized that the colours on the dowels coordinated with the bead colours and began matching them up. After a squeal and cheer, the first thing’Mama, I want you to tell me what to do’, but when I asked if she really wanted me to tell her what to do or if she wanted to just play, she decided she was happy to just play.

When Gracen woke up, she immediately saw the little station I’d set out and was thrilled. Out came some homemade lemony play dough and the little pots we used for our flower garden yogurt parfaits, and voila. With my patterned sticks complete, I knew I wanted to stand them upright somehow. This time around, I chose to pattern the entire dowel, but next time around I’d probably just start the patterns in order to let her complete them on her own. While Miss G napped today, I spent a little bit of time catching up on my RSS feed while colouring pattern stripes on the dowels with markers. So since we really haven’t explored them all that much, I decided our beads and dowels would be perfect for it. I thought to myself, ‘she’s way too young to know what he’s talking about’, but sure enough she proved me wrong on the spot. Turns out, the answer was play with patterns! I was quite surprised by how early on Miss G grasped the concept of patterns… I remember being in the kitchen cooking dinner one night long ago and hearing Brad ask Grae about a pattern out in the living room. At the time, I really had no idea what we’d do with the pair, but I knew we’d figure something out. Next to them, we found tiny little wooden dowels that the beads fit onto perfectly. The other day while picking up a few craft supplies, Miss G absolutely fell in love with these heart-shaped pony beads.
