welcome to a sleepy creative

Running out of thread in the middle of a project is completely normal! Here’s how I add a new thread and hide my ends so nobody can tell, whether you’re working on flat peyote, brick stitch or a 3D beaded animal.

New to 3D beading? These are my 5 easiest patterns for a first project, from a simple beaded ball to tiny animals, with tips so your very first piece turns out cute.

Everything you need to start making 3D beaded animals: the supplies, the basic shapes and how I build little creatures bead by bead, explained for total beginners.

A free condensed pattern for my little 3D beaded chicken, so you can make your own if you take it step by step.

My beginner’s guide to reading circular peyote patterns: how the rounds, counts and step-ups work, with a free PDF version to keep next to you while you bead.

A little life update: what I’ve been up to, what’s changed on the blog, and what’s coming next.
