The Little Beaded Book of Christmas Baking Bead Pattern

Some of the very first kits that ThreadABead created were 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 second book in this series is a book we have been so excited to make! A Christmas baking book! In this book there are 8 delicious family favourite festive recipes to try, including our very own special family mince pie recipe. This mince pie recipe has been handed down the generations and in our opinion are the best mince pies you will ever taste. Other recipes included in the book are; Whole Brandy Orange, Orange & Cinnamon Biscuits, Easy Christmas Cake, Quick Cheesy Festive Snacks, Christmas Spiced Nuts, Gingerbread Men and finally Grandad’s Yule Log 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 12 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 white in colour. Additionally, a scalpel or scissors and ruler is required along with a paper glue such as 2 in 1 Glue Pen or Quick Stix Glue Stick and a small piece of permanent double-sided sticky tape. A no tangle thread bobbin is also useful. The bead pattern supplied is 13 pages and includes 37 full colour photo instructions along with templates and pre printed pages for the book.
