Since a few weeks ago I wanted to share with the community another creation with beads, specifically my desire was to make a pendant, this is probably my tenth creation of this type. Although, this time, I have been inspired by a classic video game that is part of the childhood of many people in the world.

Mario Bros tiene muchos personajes conocidos e importante en la historia del juego y sus productos, por eso he decidido recrear a Toad. Este es un simpático hongo que posee los característicos colores blanco y rojo en su cuerpo. Para realizar este personaje, primero observé un patrón, pero requería usar mucho material y otras técnicas, así que he diseñado mi propio patrón o guía, también he utilizado materiales reciclables, es decir, alambre o hilos de cobre; principalmente, por tener el tamaño adecuado y una excelente flexibilidad.
Mario Bros has many well-known and important characters in the history of the game and its products, that's why I decided to recreate Toad. This is a nice mushroom that has the characteristic white and red colors on his body. To make this character, I first observed a pattern, but it required using a lot of material and other techniques, so I have designed my own pattern or guide, I have also used recyclable materials, that is, wire or copper wires; mainly, for having the right size and excellent flexibility.
- 60 centimeters of copper wire, use several dozen black, white and red beads.
- The method applied to make each line of beads is similar to what I have shown in other occasions, that is, we insert a line of beads in the thread, and then the ends of the thread must cross inside the following lines of beads. But always trying to keep one end of the thread to the left and the other to the right.
- The trick or method to achieve the shape is to insert the colors in the correct way, so each line would serve to shape Toad's head. At first, insert a set of 6 black beads, then add another set, but with 6 white beads and 1 black bead on each side. This second set is the one that will be used to make each end of the thread cross.
- Now we will add 2 lines of beads, each one will be formed by 8 white beads and one black bead at each end.
- The next line will be formed with 10 beads, but we must keep 2 black ones at the sides, and we will also place 2 black beads in the center (these will be the eyes). This sequence will be repeated, although we must add another black bead at the ends.
- This segment is important, as it will be the beginning of the top of Toad's head, and we will increase the number of beads, specifically we will use 14 beads (black and red).
- In this way we will continue the process, the maximum number of beads we will use will be 17. Although everything was going well, it became complicated to use a greater number of beads, since the two wire ends could not be introduced inside the bead lines.
- In the last three segments that required more beads, it took more than 30 minutes to insert the copper wires. But finally the goal of shaping Toad's head was achieved.
Me encantan realizar este tipo de colgantes, ya que puedo usarlo en mis llaveros o en mis bolsos. A pesar de que requirió tiempo y existieron complicaciones, también fue divertido realizar o rediseñar el patrón para adaptarlo a la cantidad de materiales que yo poseía.
I love to make this kind of pendants, since I can use them on my keychains or on my bags. Although it was time-consuming and there were complications, it was also fun to make or redesign the pattern to fit the amount of materials I had.
