Instructions on making the glass and pearl beaded 3D candle craft:

Step 1: Bead the basic patterns

1st, snip off a piece of 0.3mm tiger wire (about 90cm), slide 4 4mm red faceted glass beads to the middle;
2nd, cross one end of the wire through the last glass bead and tighten up;
3rd, slide a red glass bead onto each wire, then cross both wires through another glass bead and tighten up;
4th, repeat above beading pattern until you've beaded a proper length as shown;
5th, slide a 4mm transparent glass onto one wire, while 2 beads onto the other wire, then cross the left wire through the glass bead on the right wire as pictured.

Step 2: Make the bead stitches

1st, thread one wire through 2 4mm transparent glass beads, then cross both wires through a 4mm red glass bead and tighten;
2nd, thread the wire on the left through the red glass bead on the premier pattern, then add 2 red glass beads to the other wire;
3rd, cross both wires through another red glass bead and tighten up;
4th, thread the left wire through the red glass bead on the premier pattern, add a red bead on the other wire, then cross both wires through another red glass bead and tighten up;
5th, repeat above stitch pattern, until you come to the ending line, slide 3 beads to the wire and cross the left wire through the last red glass bead and tighten up;
6th, make the stitches along the way until you've finished 14 to 18 rows. (you can decide the length according your need)

Step 3: Sew up the fringes

1st, slide a 4mm red glass bead to one wire, then thread the wire through the red glass bead in the symmetrical corner;
2nd, cross both wires through another red glass bead and tighten up, your beaded patch would be like what is shown below;
3rd, thread each wire through the next red glass bead on the line respectively, then cross them through another red glass bead and tighten up;
4th, repeat this stitching pattern to sew up the fringes;



5th, thread the wire along the glass beads on the bottom in case of slack;
6th, trim off the excessive wires in the end.

Step 4: Add a green glass drop bead

1st, thread a 10mm white pearl bead through a 7.0cm headpin, then thread the headpin through the inner space of the candle;
2nd, thread a 12x8mm green glass bead through the headpin, and twist a small loop in the end.

Step 5: Bead pearl stand for the candle

1st, snip off a piece of tiger wire, slide a 8mm red glass pearl bead and 3 8mm white pearl beads onto it;
2nd, thread the left wire through the last white pearl bead and tighten;
