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

Back to page one of the beaded 3D big head crystal bear tutorial.
Always Remember to pull tight on EVERY STEP.

|
Step 21: |
- Continue to:
Add
two pink crystals on the left (red) string, pass the other (black) string through the last crystal added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you used to add new beads on this step) through three old crystals
marked A, B and C.
|
|
|
Step 22: |
-
Continue to:
Add one pink crystal on the bottom (black) string, pass the other (red) string through the crystal added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you used to add new crystals on this step) through one old crystal marked
A.

|
|
Step 23: |
- Continue to:
Add
two pink crystals on the bottom (red) string, pass the other (black) string through the last crystal added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you used to add new beads on this step) through two old crystals
marked A and B.
|
|
|
Step 24: |
- Continue to:
Add two pink crystals on the right (black) string, pass the other (red) string through the last crystal added. Continue to pass the black string (the one you used to add new beads on this step) through two old crystals
marked A and B.
|
|
|
Step 25: |
- Continue to:
Add
two pink crystals on the top right (red) string, pass the other (black) string through the last crystal added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you used to add new beads on this step) through two old crystals
marked A and B.
|
|
|
Step 26: |
- Continue to:
Add one pink crystal to crisscross both strings through. You should have the bear head (without ears) after this step. Pass the strings until they meet and tie off.
|
|
|
Step 27: |
- Adding the eyes and ears:
Cut two pieces of short string (one for each side of the eyes and ears).
For the left eye and ear: Add one black crystal on the middle of one of the string. Pass one side (red) up through two old crystals marked
A and B. Add four new pink crystals on this same side of the string and continue to pass this same side of the string down through one old crystal marked D. Pass the other (black) string through two old crystals marked
C and
B. Tie off.
Repeat similarly in opposite direction for the right eye and ear.
Now you are finished with the head of the 3D big head bear.

Step 28: |
- The body:
Cut a new piece of string. Pass the string through one old crystal on the bottom of the finished head, marked with the red dot. (balance out both side of the string) Add one transparent crystal to crisscross both strings through. On the left (black) string, add one pink crystal and three gold beads, pass the same side of the string back down through the pink crystal you just added. On the right (red) string, add one pink crystal and three gold beads, pass the same side of the string back down through the pink crystal you just added. Add one transparent crystal on each side of the string (total of two). Add one last transparent crystal to crisscross both strings through.
This is the two front legs.

|
Step 29: |
- Continue to:
On the left (black) string, add one pink crystal and three gold beads, pass the same side of the string back down through the pink crystal you just added. On the right (red) string, add one pink crystal and three gold beads, pass the same side of the string back down through the pink crystal you just added. Pass both strings crisscrossing back through the transparent crystal they exited from on this step.
These are the two hind legs.

|
Step 30: |
- Continue to:
Add one pink crystal on the each side of the string (total of two). Add one pink crystal to crisscross both strings through. Add one pink crystal on the left (black) string and pass this string back through the pink crystal it exited from. Add one pink crystal on each side of the string (total of two). Pass the left (black) string back down through the old crystal where the string started off on step 28 (marked with the red dot). Tie off.
- Use a head pin to pass through from the bottom up through the inner insert bead and up through the head of the big head bear.
Cut away excess leaving 1cm of head pin wire to curl into a ring with a round tip pliers. (if unsure refer to step 80 of this tutorial) Add on a hook or jump ring to hang as a charm or pendant or make one more as a pair of earrings.
