Do you know Rudolphe, the famous red-nosed reindeer who lights up the magic of Christmas? Perles & Co invites you to make your own miniature version of this emblematic character, in Miyuki Delicas 11/0 beads, using the Brick Stitch technique! With this tutorial, you'll be able to transform your Christmas reindeer into a unique brooch to accessorize your festive outfits or a mini decoration to hang on your Christmas tree, adding a festive, hand-crafted touch to your decor.
Brick Stitch is a bead-weaving technique in which the beads are assembled row by row, stacked like bricks to create geometric patterns. This technique is an ideal way to add a handcrafted touch to your accessories and wardrobe.
