Welcome to Bead Soup

Each brick stitch can be purchased separately or as a set. There is our favorite. I Witch I Were A Princess, Drac, Frankie and Is Is a Cat or a Pumpkin. All four brick stitch are approx 2”x1.5 “ and are done in size 11/0 Delicas.

Each brick stitch character comes with a color and word chart and enough Delicas to make one character. You will need to know the basics of brick stitch to be able to work this pattern because instructions are not included.

Your character can easily be made into a zipper pull, hung from a lobster claw or used as a bookmark (bookmarks can be found on the bookmark page). The decision will be up to you.

Our sample was created with 6lb Fireline and a size 10 beading needle. They are not included in this purchase. We did not experiment with other thread and/or needles but are confident that substitutions can be made.

This purchase is for a kit only. Please note there are no step-by-step instructions nor is there a finished fox included in this purchase

Each of these brick stitch characters can be purchased one-by-one or as a set of four. There is also the option to purchase all four and get a mystery bag of Halloween charms and Halloween themed clasps and other findings that you could use to make keychains etc. Each mystery is different and not exactly as shown in the picture. They will be packaged in the off-white muslin bag as shown in the picture

What’s better than one parrot….two parrots and that’s what you’ll find on this 17 row star. You will bead the same image on the front as you do on the back.

As with all of our stars you will need to know the basics of peyote star making because with this purchase you will receive a printed pattern that include a word and color chart but no step-by-step instructions for starting and sewing your warped squares together. Those instructions can be found with our one Mini Star found on our Peyote Star page.

Our sample was made with 6lb Fireline and a size 10 beading needle. We did not experiment with other beading thread and/or needles so we can not guarantee the outcome if you decide to use something other than what we used.

You will receive enough size 11/0 Delicas to create one Pair of Parrots star. You will also receive stuffing to fill your star.

Please note this purchase is for a kit only. You will not receive a finished star with this purchase.
