March 2012 Beaded 3D Banana Project.
	You can find a variety of Free Arts and Craft Project here, including beading tutorials and other project. This month's project is a 3D beaded banana fruit charm, made with brown and yellow Japanese glass seed beads using right angle weave Beading technique. Great as earrings, pendant or simply as a charm.

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