Materials:
- 6lb Fireline thread for brick stitch and K.O. nylon thread for fringe
- 11/0 seed beads (white, grey, black, and a bright color for the eyes)
- 6/0 round seed beads (white)
- 4mm Bugles (white) Bugles can be replaced with 3 seed beads each, which I did when making this pattern with 15/0 seed beads, instead of 11/0.
- 26 GA wire to wire wrap the larger bead which connects the head, torso and pelvis (don鈥檛 use anything thicker, your beads will break!)
- Heart in the chest cavity is optional! (Just replace it with grey)
Design uses brick, square stitch, fringe, and wire wrapping. So keep an eye out for those changes! I have marked where they are so it鈥檚 easier to see.
Refer to images of the completed skeleton if you have questions, or leave a comment and I will get back to you!

Hi there! I love these guys!! I’m excited to make them but I wanted to know what size bugles you use? I am not terribly familiar with them and there seems to be a bunch of different sizes available online. So please let me know. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello! That’s a good question. The bugles I have are 4mm, don’t go any larger than that! Please send me a pic if you make them! 馃榾
These look fun to wear thank you
I’m a newer beader and these directions, although free, are a little vague for me. So, just to clarify, I’m using wire in place of beading thread? Also, do I start from the head down? I know these may seem like stupid questions, but like I said, I’m a novice beader.
Hi Janina, it’s okay. Everyone has been there (a beginner) and this is a rather advanced pattern! The wire is to wire wrap the larger bead that connects the head, torso, and pelvis.
How do you attach the wire?
Hey Winona, the larger bead that connects the head, torso, and pelvis is simply wire wrapped.
These are super adorable! Thank you for sharing the pattern. I can’t wait to make some!
