PDF beading pattern · 3D beaded cat figurine, approx. 4 cm / 1.6 in · Beginner · Step-by-step diagrams · Instant download — no physical item shipped
Four centimetres of cat, made entirely from seed beads. No wire armature, no glue, no stuffing — the beadwork holds its own shape, which is what turns a pile of beads into something that sits upright on a shelf and stays there.
The proportions are what make it work: a round head, a round body, tiny triangular ears and a tail curled off to one side. The face is three beads — two black eyes and a pink nose — and that's all a cat needs.
It's a beginner pattern with proper diagrams, which is rarer in beadwork than it should be. Every round is drawn with its thread path, so you're never guessing where the needle goes next.
Small, cheap in materials, and finished in an evening or two. Also the kind of thing people make in a colour to match their own cat, which is exactly why it gets made more than once.
