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. This is page 2 of the full online beaded cupcake tutorial pattern.

Beaded 3D Cupcake

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

Back to page 1 of the full tutorial!

Step 26: Putting the cupcake together:
  • Take one long head pin.
  • Add in the cupcake cup that you just made with the long bugles.
  • Add in an insert bead (around 5mm) you can measure which size of insert bead works best here.
  • Add on the pink cupcake top.
  • Add on a red bead to be the cherry (size up to you) on the cupcake.
  • Using a wire cutter, cut away excess head pin, leaving only around 1 centimeter of head pin wire.
  • Using pliers, bent the remaining 1 cm of head pin wire at an 90degree angle.
  • Using round tip pliers, bent and curl the head pin wire from tip inwards to achieve a circle ring.
