Bead-by-bead instructions for the body have been added to make this even easier.

This hummingbird pattern is versatile. It can be used as an ornament, keychain, sun catcher, necklace, or trinket depending on your preference.

Materials needed: seed beads (11/0), beading thread, beading needle, bugle beads, stuffing material (such as cotton balls, saran wrap, or plastic bags)
