Final Result

Materials

• 2 x 12mm beads
• 30cm beading wire (24 gauge)
• 40 seed beads
• wire cutters
• round nose pliers

Step 1

Cut wire into 2 x15cm lengths. Holding the wires together, use the round nose pliers to curl the ends. Thread both wires together through the two 12mm beads and push down to the curled ends. To form one ear separate the two wires and thread 20 seed beads onto one. Bend the wire in the middle so you have 10 beads, the bend, and the other 10 beads. Wrap the excess wire around itself a few times and cut off the excess. Repeat for the other ear. Spread the ears to make the bunny look cute. To make a pendant, wrap some wire around the base of the ears and make a loop.
