You can make these cute little ladybirds with size 8 seed beads
Cut a piece of wire about 15" (38cm) long.
Now add 2 red, 1 black and 2 more red beads and slide them to the middle of the wire.
Put 1 red, 1 black, 1 red, 1 black, 1 red, 1 black, 1 red beads on to one wire.
Next pass the other end of the wire through all the beads in the opposite direction so the wires are crossed through the beads as shown.
Pull the wires up until you have the beads sitting in the centre of the wire like this.
To one wire add 4 red, 1 black, 4 red beads, cross the the other end of the wire back through these beads.
Pull the wires up until the beads sit like this.
For this row add 1 red, 1 black, 2 red, 1 black, 2 red, 1 black, 1 red.
This row 4 red, 1 black, 4 red.
Now 1 red, 1 black, 1 red, 1 black, 1 red, 1 black, 1 red.
Now 2 red, 1 black, 2 red.
Last 2 rows 4 black then 3 black.
Snip the wires down to about 2cm and roll them up with the tip of your round nosed pliers.
