Beaded Grumpy/Silly Bird Pattern PDF • 3D Seed Bead Tutorial | Peyote Stitch Keychain DIY

3D Beaded Grumpy / Silly Bird Pattern – PDF Tutorial
For those who like silly eyes as much as I do, here's an addition to the beaded bird collection: the grumpy & silly birds! In the thumbnails, we have a silly chicken, a silly mallard duck and an angry mallard duck. But you can turn them into many other birds by adjusting the color ways (pigeon, seagull...)
The finished piece is approximately 1.18" (3cm) tall (depending on your beads as well), and makes a perfect keychain, phone charm, monitor buddy or decorative trinket. ♥

This pattern mainly uses circular peyote stitch. This pattern is best for advanced beginners - if you've already completed a couple of my patterns, you'll be okay with this one! While it's suitable for beginners, it does require patience and attention to detail if you do not have any experience. The tutorial is beginner friendly & includes diagrams, photos and detailed written instructions to guide you through each step, making it accessible even if you're new to beadwork!
