Description
Pattern Only. Jazz up a plain tape measure with this bird-themed design, for a unique and fun addition to your beading tool kit. The pattern includes UK birds: a robin, blue tit, sparrow, bullfinch, kingfisher and goldfinch.
This pattern consists of a bird-themed bead chart, word chart and the full instructions for you to create a complete beaded tape measure. The part-covered version is great for intermediate beaders or adventurous beginners with a little experience of peyote stitch – while the fully-covered version is ideal for intermediate-advanced beaders. Instructions for both are included
Previous knowledge of circular and even count peyote stitch is necessary and some experience of following charts would be helpful. Suitable for Intermediate/Advanced beaders.
The pattern requires a plain 5cm wide round plastic retractable tape measure. Metro brand works well. Why not purchase the materials to help you make this? Click here to find materials pack.
