Chameleon Beaded Bead Tutorial | Small

Hey beautiful! In today’s beading tutorial I will show you how to make the small version of the Chameleon Beaded Bead series. This design incorporates two hole bead shapes: Irisduo and Mobyduo, plus 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Please see below for the full list of materials, and links to places you may purchase them.

Materials List (1 Beaded Bead)

✔ 10 – Mobyduo Beads

✔ 5 – Irisduo Beads

✔ <1g – 15/0 Seed Beads

✔ <1g – 11/0 Seed Beads

✔ 3 ft – 6lb./0.006″ Fireline, or other beading thread

✔ 2 – Beading Needles, Size 10-11

✔ Scissors

Chameleon Beaded Bead Sizes

If you’d like to make a slightly larger version of this Chameleon Beaded Bead, simply follow the same steps in the tutorial, but increase the Irisduo beads to six, and adjust the other bead quantities, accordingly.

Also shown in this image is the largest version, which includes the two-hole lentil beads.

Idea: Make a necklace out of Chameleon Beaded Beads of graduated sizes. Use the largest size in the middle, and have the beads get smaller on either side.

Chameleon Beaded Bead Inspiration

Thanks to a wonderful viewer, Michelle, who asked me to create and share a beaded bead pattern. This particular design uses shapes that are more complex, but I hope to be able to share other beaded bead tutorials in the future, which incorporate simpler single-hole shapes, as well.
