Top Arts & Crafts Main Page Next "Sitting Pretty" Cat Bead Safety Pin CraftThis is a fun bead craft project for older kids. When you're done, you'll have a beautiful bead safety pin with a picture of a sitting cat. Can be made with plastic or glass beads. Color Grid Chart (the numbers at the top represent each of the 14 small pins):
Materials Required:
*** Note: All small and large safety pins should be the same color. Instructions: First you attach the appropriate beads onto the small pins, and then you attach the small pins onto the large pin. Each pin will hang down vertically from the large pin creating a picture of a cat in front of a red heart. 1st small pin: To create the first small pin, you want to attach the beads starting at the top of the color grid chart (the pin will be attached upside down). For the 1st pin, slide the beads onto the pin in the following order:
Attach the appropriate beads to the other 13 small pins using the color chart. For example, the beads will be added in the following order for the 5th pin:
Now attach the small pins to the large pin: Using a small screwdriver, loosen the spiral coil on the large pin (pry it apart - refer to diagram below). Ensure it is loose enough to slip the small pins onto the large, then around the coil to rest on the opposite side (where the diagram below says "attach"). This will ensure the small pins don't fall off and also allows you to attach the pin to a garment.
Slide the pins onto the large safety pin starting at column 1 (on the color grid). Slide the coil part of the small pin onto the large pin (the coil part is referred to in the above diagram as the area marked "open here"). Attach all 14 small pins. Using the screwdriver or pliers, press the coil area of the large pin closed. Now pin this to your favorite garment or hat!
