Step-by-Step DIY Seed Bead Cow Ring Tutorial

Thread both ends of your beading cord through two orange seed beads. These will be the cow’s nose and should be centered on the thread.

Next, take both ends of the cord and thread them through three white seed beads. Pull the cords tight to position the beads directly above the orange beads.

Thread both ends of the cord through the following beads:

• One black seed bead (for one eye)
• Two white seed beads
• One black seed bead (for the other eye)
  This forms the middle section of the cow's face.

4. Finish the Top of the Face (Step 5)
Pass both ends of the thread throughfour white seed beads. This completes the cow’s face shape and ensures the head has a rounded look.

5. Create the Ears (Step 6-7)
On the right side of the cord, thread twoblack seed beads. Loop the cord back through the first black bead to form the cow's ear. Repeat this step on the left side for the second ear, ensuring the cow’s face has balanced ears.

6. Secure the Face and Adjust Shape (Step 8)
Gently pull the cords to adjust the beads and secure the cow's face. Make sure the beads are tight but not too rigid, allowing flexibility for the ring.

7. Bead the Ring Band (Step 9)
Now, start adding beads to form the band of the ring. Depending on your finger size, thread an appropriate number of white seed beads onto each end of the cord. Test the size by placing it around your finger to ensure a comfortable fit.

8. Finalize and Tie Off (Step 10)
Once you’ve added enough beads for the band, tie a knot with the cord to secure the ring. If possible, hide the knot by tucking it into one of the beads for a clean finish.
