Miyuki Delicas flamingo bead weave in Miyuki Delicas

Bead weaving is the must-try technique of the moment—don’t miss out! And when the pattern is a flamingo, it’s impossible to resist!
You can add a brooch pin to the back so you can pin it to your clothes, or attach a magnet to the back to use it as a magnet.
One last tip: use it as a pendant! If you thread it onto an open ring and a chain, you’ll have a unique DIY necklace.

Tips before you start

• This project is made entirely using the brickstitch technique.
• In this tutorial, we’ll explain three essential brick stitch techniques: end-of-row increases, beginning-of-row increases, and multi-bead increases.

Feel free to read our technical guides to learn bead weaving. Discover how to do brick stitch with a needle, how to start a brick stitch project, and many other techniques.

You can find the weaving charts to make a beaded parrot and a watermelon. Once again, thank you to Christelle from Clapiottes et Loupiotte for this wonderful tutorial and her explanations on brick stitch.
