If you’re familiar with making a simple bead circle, you’ve got all the skill you need to make this toy! The double hole beads make crossing your strings a breeze and assembly couldn’t be safer or faster.

Check out our easy tutorial below!

4. Take your lighter and melt the knot. Thread your crafting needle on to the one string end, pushing your needle through a bead on either side of your knot. This bead will hide your knot. Pull your needle and string through and gently pull your fused knot under the bead. Trim your ends then melt them with your lighter.

5. Take your second string and thread your crafting needle onto it. Push your needle through one of your double hole beads on the round you just created. Once through, thread on 5x 15mm beads. Find the next double hole bead on your round and push your needle through it. Continue threading 5x 15mm beads and weaving your string through the double hole beads on your round until you meet up with your string.
