October 2010 Beaded 3D Cupcake Project

You can find a variety of Free Arts and Craft Project here, including beaded project and other project. This month, I would like to feature the instruction on a beaded 3D cupcake made with Japanese glass seed beads and long bugles, using right angle weave beading technique.

Beaded 3D Cupcake

The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.
