FIRST LAYER Step 1a: From START point, thread the beads as shown on your left and right hand thread.

FIRST LAYER Step 1b: Tie a simple knot twice and cut the excess thread. First layer is completed.

SECOND LAYER Step 1 : Start your beadwork as shown in the pictures above.

SECOND LAYER Step 2 : For blue thread, string 1 D & 1 E, then cross both thread with 1 D. Pass blue thread through an existing bead as shown.

SECOND LAYER Step 3 : For red thread, string 1 E, cross both thread with 1 D. Pass red thread through an existing bead as shown.

SECOND LAYER Step 4: For blue thread, string 1 E, cross both thread with 1 D. Pass blue thread through 2 existing beads marked as “*”.

SECOND LAYER Step 5: Cross both thread with 1 E.

This is how it looks like after finishing step 5, view from top.

SECOND LAYER Step 6: This is bottom view. Bring right hand thread through 3 beads as shown in the picture above. Now both threads meet with each other and you can tie a simple knot twice. Cut the excess threads. At this step you have completed second layer.

Step 7: Thread 1 F onto a 40mm Eyepin (eyepin will be given for FREE if you purchase our polymer clay doll head), follow by second layer and first layer. Finally, insert the doll head on top of first layer and make a simple loop similar to the earlier version tutorial -> Free Tutorial: 3D Beaded Polymer Clay Doll ~ Most Popular Version
