Hello there, welcome back to our little adventure of creating beaded alphabets. If you missed the beaded letter 'S and A', you can simply check them here and here. In this adventure, who says we can't explore different sizes of beads? If that is so, unlike in the previous beaded letters, I chose seed beads this time around to create the letter B, and oh my gosh! I love the outcome. It happens to give me a perfect size that my son would be able to hold very easily, and aside from that, it won't take up much space in the storage.

Step 21:

Step 22: Repeat steps 1-21 to make the other half of the B.

Step 23:

I brought the two halves of the B together, cut a new fishline, put 1 bead, and used it to join the two half parts. I continued the process until it went around, and we had our B.

Whenever I finish my work, I like to take some photos of it outside for clearer pictures, but it has been raining over here since yesterday, which made the outside very dull; below are some of my outside photos, regardless of the rain and I hope that you enjoy them.馃槉

Thank you so much for your time; what do you think about the new size of the beads? Like always I will love to read and respond to your comments.
