Hello 👋 DIY community, welcome and please, join me again as we continue our little adventure of beading Alphabets.
A friend told me once, "Never underestimate any DIY project thinking it's going to be a walk in the park until you are finished with the project." Hehe
While I was beading this alphabet, I made a silly mistake of making the upper side and the downside seven rings instead of five. This turned the result into a very wide "H" instead of an "I." lol 😂 until I went back to rectify the mistake. As I say, we don't give up.
I thought that this beaded letter would be the easiest of my letters, but it turned out it took a bit longer than I imagined due to the mistake above. But then the challenges we see along the line of DIY are what make the result a bit more fulfilling, knowing you did not give up along the line.
Today, this alphabet is dedicated to a hiver who has a special place in my heart. She is simply an awesome human being. She is very popular in this community; her warm comment alone is enough to brighten up your day and encouraging enough to make you put in your very best in your subsequent projects. But before I reveal this angel in the human body, let's get to beading her a beautiful letter, "I." 😊
For this tutorial, these are the materials I will be using;
Pearl beads, scissors, fishline, and measuring tape.
Step-by-step process;
Step 1;
I started by cutting 60 cm of the fishline and beading the middle of the "I" by making six rings of beads.
Step 2;
Here, I added 2 beads to the right fishline, then crossed both lines with 1 bead to make the line turn, as you can see below.
Step 3;
I added two rings of beads to this part of the bead.
Step 4;
I simply passed my fishline to come out at the bead marked with green, then added two rings of beads.
Step 5;
I cut a little fishline, inserted it on the bead marked with green, and then added two rings of beads.
Step 6;
I cut another little fishline, inserted it on the bead marked with a green, and then beaded two rings to complete the part.
Step 7;
I simply repeat steps 1 to 5 above to bead the other half of the "I." As you can see below, I had excess fishlines I left uncut that I'm going to use to join the two parts of the "I"
Step 8;
I began to use my excess fishlines to join the two half parts of the "I" by putting a bead to the lines and crossing the beads. At some point, it started to look like a rat lol
It took a little while to finish joining the two sides but at last, we have our letter "I"
Hello 
What do you think guys? Which one is your favorite? The big white pearl beads or the small green seed beads.
This is the eighth letter I'm beading for my son for his learning material. You can find the previous ones here, and if you tell me your favorite letter, I will be happy 😊 to give you a shout-out when I bead it.
