Tools Needed: Wire Cutter, Long Nose Pilers
Step 1: Cut a 14" piece of wire. String 16 Crystal 6mm Rondelle Beads on wire. Center the beads on the wire into a loop. Twist the wires together twice just below the beads to form and "Ear". Repeat to make a second ear.
Step 2: Hold all four wires ends from the ears close to beads together. String one Crystal Global Facted bead, followed by one 18mm white SUNBURST Bead. Pull the four wires taut. Spread two of the wires out of either side. These wires will form arms later on; the remaining two wires are for the body and feet.
Step 3: Hold the two body wires together and string on two Red 25mm SUNBURST Beads, one White 25mm SUNBURST bead, and one Crystal 25mm SUNBURST bead. Make sure the beads are nestled together.
Step 4: Spread the body wires apart. On each body wire, tightly knot one Crystal 8mm Faceted Bead. Cut off excess foot wire except for ½", Bend the ½" back against the 8mm Faceted Bead. Bend foot wires so feet are placed in front of mouse.
Step 5: On each arm wire, string 4 Red 10mm SUNBURST Beads, one White 10mm SUNBURST Bead, and one Crystal 6mm Faceted Bead. Make sure beads are nestled together. Tightly knot on the on the last bead. Cut off wire excess wire except for 1½". Bend the ½" back against the 6mm Faceted bead.
Step 6: Cut a 10" piece of wire. Tightly wrap one end of this wire twice around the body wires between the Crystal and White 25mm SUNBURST Bead, leaving a long tail of wire at the back of the mouse. Cut off any excess wire from the short end. On the long tail wire, string 30 Crystal 6mm Rondelle Beads. Tightly knot on the last bead.
Step 7: Cut a 5"piece of wire. String 3 Red 6mm Round Beads on the wire. Center the beads on the wire and twist wire halves together close to the bead.
Step 8: On each wire, tightly knot One Holly Leaf close to the round Beads. Twist wire together once more to form a holly sprig.
Step 9: Attach holly sprig to mouse’s tail by wrapping the sprig wires around the tail between the 2nd and 3rd Rondelle Beads (counting in from the tip of the tail). Twist sprig wires together several times. Cut off excess wire except for ¼". Bend this ¼" back against tail.
Step 10: repeat Step 1-9 five more times to make a total of six Chris Mice.
HAPPY BEADING
