The Little Beaded Book of Christmas Jokes Bead Pattern

Some of the very first kits that ThreadABead created was our mini beaded books. They have always been very popular but we have never been able to release them as an online pattern due to the process of making the book and the software required to do so. To assemble them was also very time consuming and due to this we have not been able to keep up with demand for suppling the books we already have, so as a result, despite having so many ideas for beaded books, we have never really added to them, but that is no more! Our new style of beaded books come with pre-printed pages so you can make the books yourself. Each book has 28 pages and are simple and quick to make, taking around 3-4 hours to bead and assemble each one. Our first book in this series is a book we have been wanting to make for so many years, a Christmas joke book! On each page there is a festive joke, some corny – just like you would expect in a traditional Christmas cracker! Of course, Santa finds these jokes hilarious, and that is why you will find him laughing away on the front cover of the book! As usual with ThreadABead featured patterns we give full detailed photographic instructions and, in this pattern,, there are 37 detailed steps, making this pattern even suitable for beginners to beading. This bead pattern is made using Japanese Miyuki size 11 Delica. Odd Count Peyoye is used but full detailed instructions are given, and no previous knowledge of the stitch is required. Please note the pattern may not work with any other size and type of beads. There are up to 10 delica colours in total the finished beadwork is approximately 3.5mm x 3.75mm. 1 x 4mm Gold Plated Bead is required as well as a small amount of thin card, ideally green in colour. Additionally, a scalpel or scissors and ruler is required along with a paper glue such as Pritt stick and a small piece of permanent double-sided sticky tape. A no tangle thread bobbin is useful. The bead pattern supplied is 17 pages and includes 37 full colour photo instructions along with templates and pre printed pages for the book. Now also with our own super duper Word Chart Included!
