The Little Tale of Peter Rabbit Beaded Book 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 fifth book in this series is the Tale of Peter Rabbit. In 1902 Beatrix Potter, an English writer and illustrator, created a series of some of the most beloved children’s books. Over the last 115 years the popularity of the story from the Tale of Peter Rabbit has not diminished and as the book fell out of copyright in 2014 we are now able to bring you this delightful story in beaded form. This book contains the full story of Peter Rabbit along with a small selection of some of the wonderful illustrations drawn by Beatrix Potter. This book would be ideal as a new baby, christening or children’s present (obviously beadwork is not suitable for children, but it would will make a lovely heirloom gift to treasure). Of course, as many adults have such fond memories of Peter Rabbit it would be a gift they would also adore! As usual with ThreadABead featured patterns we give detailed instructions, and, in this pattern there are 28 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 15 delica colours in total the finished beadwork is approximately 3.5mm x 3.75mm. 1 x 4mm Crystal AB 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 28 Step by step instructions along with templates and pre printed pages for the book.
