Bead Man

To make a bead character, you will need:

- 2 pipe cleaners (length: 30 cm)

- a mix of colored wooden beads from 0.5 to 2 cm (ref. 10454)

- 1 round wooden bead Ø 2.5 cm

- 2 googly eyes Ø 8 mm

- a tube of glue

- a paint marker

Thread some beads onto 2 pipe cleaners of 30 cm to create the body of the character.

Leave about 18 cm on the left to create the character's arms later.

Separate the 2 pipe cleaners on the right side and thread some beads to create the character's legs.

Leave about 2.5 cm free at each end of the pipe cleaners.

Fold the ends of the pipe cleaners over themselves to create a rounded tip.

Thread one last bead onto the folded end and then bend the whole thing to form the character's foot.

Repeat the same process to make the second leg.

To make the first arm, bend the right pipe cleaner as shown in the photo next to it.

Thread some beads and finish the arm by bending the end of the pipe cleaner.

Create the second arm using the same technique and then point the two remaining ends of the pipe cleaners upwards.

Thread a natural wooden bead Ø 2.5 cm onto the 2 pieces of pipe cleaner and then bend them to secure the character.

Decorate the character's head using googly eyes Ø 8 mm and paint markers.
