Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newbie to the craft scene, these little creations promise hours of creative fun. So gather your beads, unleash your imagination, and let these charming bead people come to life with ease!

You'll need 2 pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems).

Bend one in half, and cut one into thirds.

I made a simple little dress template,

then traced in onto my fabric with a fold at the shoulder line.

Slide that little dress onto the folded pipe cleaner,

leaving enough space at top for your bead head plus a little loop for hanging.

Insert the shorter piece of pipe cleaner.

and glue the dress together and the head on.

I used Tacky Glue to glue the head on, and hot glue for the dress.

Then it's time to pick some beads.

I don't have a lovely organized bead stash, I have bead soup.

Using tacky glue, glue on beads for hands and legs.

I painted on a simple face, hot-glued a button on her dress, and added an embroidery floss hanger.
