Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Seed Bead Rabbit Ring

Ready to get started? Follow these steps to create your rabbit ring:

Step 1
Thread three light pink seed beads and one light purple seed bead onto your string in order. Then, take both ends of the string and pass them through the last two beads, as shown in the instructions.

Step 2
On the right string, thread five light pink seed beads.

Step 3
As illustrated, take the right string and pass it through the two light pink beads at the bottom. This helps to hold the shape of the ring.

Step 4
Next, thread the string up through the two top beads, then pull it out through the light purple seed bead. Pull tight to secure the structure.

Step 5
Pass both ends of the string through one light pink seed bead and one red seed bead. The red bead will act as the rabbit’s nose.

Step 6
With both ends of the string, thread through one light purple seed bead and then one light pink seed bead.

Step 7
Thread both ends through two more light pink seed beads to finish the face.

Step 8
On the left string, add five light pink seed beads

Step 9
Thread the left string back through the light purple and light pink seed beads, as shown in the diagram. This secures the left side of the rabbit’s face.

Step 10
Thread additional light pink beads to complete the ring band, adjusting the bead count to fit your finger comfortably. Tie off and trim the ends, and your rabbit ring is complete!

Additional Tips

• Customization: Experiment with different colors to create a unique rabbit. You can replace light pink beads with any color you prefer.
• Adjusting Size: To make the ring fit different finger sizes, simply add or reduce beads on the band.
• Using a Beading Needle: A beading needle makes it easier to thread through small beads, which is particularly useful for intricate designs like this.
