This Instructable will show you how to make a 3D beaded pink panther head

Gather Materials

You will need :

1. 57 Beads

  • 54 Pink Beads (Rounds or other)
  • 2 Yellow Beads (Bicone or other)
  • 1 Pink Bead (Bicone or other)

- For this Instructable I will be using Faceted Round beads and Bicone beads, you can use different beads if you would like

2. String

  • Approximately 5/6 Ft.

- Fishing line (6/8 Lb.) works best for 3D projects as it is very strong and thin enough to pass through the beads multiple times

3. Scissors

4. Nail polish

  • If you don't have any nail polish you can use a permanent marker
  • Red works best but any color will do

5. A Permanent Marker

  • You will need a black permanent marker

Fold String in Half
