🔥🔥🔥 Decided to post the pattern I made for making the Flint Bonpyre / Firestarter Kandi mask! If u make it, credit would be appreciated :3 (Pls tag me if u do it, I would LOVE to see it!!!)
I included all the instructions in the pics! But feel free to DM me if u have any questions! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm no professional, but here it is! A handy guide to how I make my little bead buddies! I'm not always the best at explaining things, but I hope this is at least a little helpful! Have fun everyone! :]
This is a tutorial for my cat cuff kandi design! This tutorial assumes you already know how to make a basic x-base cuff. If you don't, there are many tutorials for that on YouTube. Instructions under the cut!
Create a 2 x tall x base cuff using the following pattern. It isn't essential, but I like to use glow in the dark beads for the eyes so that the eyes will glow in the dark! The cuff being made in this tutorial uses 2 different colors to make an odd-eyed cat, but you can also use the same color for both.
Pull the string through the top bead of the eye, then add 5 beads to it and pull it through the bead at the edge of the eye as shown. I like to use black to represent the "eyeliner" a lot of cats have, but you could also use the same color as the fur for a more subtle look.
Pull the string through a few beads in the x-base and back through the same bead it was coming out of before, but in the opposite direction.
Continue putting 5 beads and pulling it through the corners of the eyes.
Once again, pull it through a few beads so it is coming out of the corner bead in the opposite direction than before, and continue adding 5 beads and pulling through the corners. Then, tie it off and cut it.
Pull a string scrap through the bead at the top of the eye, and make sure both sides are the same length. Then, add 5 black beads to BOTH sides of the string.
This is the hard part, and it's hard to photograph, too, so sorry about that. Pull only ONE side of the string through the bottom bead of the eye, then tie the two ends of the string together. Use a quadruple or quintuple knot because this part is under a lot of tension. Cut the ends of the string and pull it until the knot goes into a bead and is hidden.
Do all that stuff for the other eye, too.
Tie a string scrap below the center bead of one of the eye edges, then pull it up through the center bead and add a heart bead for the nose. Pull it through the next center bead, tie it off, and cut it. If you want, you can also put a bead between the eyes on top using this same method - it adds additional stability and a decorative touch, but is not essential.
Tie on another string and pull it through some of the edge beads so it comes out as shown, then add 9 beads.
Pull the string through as shown to make the first ear. Then, pull it through the beads on the edge until it comes up above the second eye, add another 9 beads, and pull it through to make the second ear.
Once you tie it off, it will be done! You can scroll to the top of the post to see it, I've hit the image limit.
read the stuff below before starting to avoid mistakes, also follow steps in rows from left to right ->
Start with a length of string about twice the length you want your tail to be since you’re folding it in half, and add a little extra just in case. Repeat the first 5 steps for however many bones you want in your tail, make sure to put a clear bead (or whatever colour u started with) in between each bone, and at the end, make sure to double or triple knot it so it won’t come undone. Steps 6-12 are for the END of the tail.
WARNING!!! U'll need scissors or a really good idea of how long to make ur string, so always get help from a cg or a friend if you can't use scissors while little, okay? Tutorial under tha cut!!!
Hi fellow tinies! Do u wanna make cute kandi stars to put on your necklaces, cuffs, stuffies, walls, whatever!? Of course you do! Why else would you be here!!! You can do this with almost any bead shape, but pony beads are what this tut is for and will get u the best results!!! Disclaimer plz don't worry about my dirty desk that I've carved holes in ok thank u I love u let's do this!
STEP 1: BASE
Start by putting ten (10) beads on a string about the length of ur fingertip to ur elbow! You want to have extra cus it's better to cut off too much then not enough!!!!
Then, pull it TIGHT and tie it off right at the end! Leave most of the extra to one side, but give yourself a little on the end to be able to tie off with at the end! (Don't be like me and cut off ur extra like a dummy)
Now you've got your base! It should look something like this, but if it doesn't then ur beads just need a little finagling! Move em around with your fingers until they look like this!
If you want, you can call it there and have an itty bitty star, but if you want more shapes, more colours, then move on to
STEP 2: GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINTS
You need three beads for each star point! Put three beads of whatever colour u want on and then thread it on the next bead over! Always skip one bead, like pictured!!!!
Repeat for each point, and pull tight after each thread to force the beads in place!!! (Fun sidequest: Stop after the second point to get a little animal!!!)
Now that you have your star, make sure to tie it off securely! Tie ur ends together to finish it up!!!
STEP 3: YOU DID IT!!!
Cut off your extra thread, and if you have the room, try to hide the ties in the beads!!!
You now have a kandi star!!!! Use this to make whatever u'd like!!!! I hope you had fun, and stay safe out there everybody! I love you, and I wish you a happy day!!!!!
