Beaded Kiwi Charm | DIY Mini Fruit Keychain 🍈

Description:

Get ready to create one of the freshest and cutest bead projects ever — a 3D kiwi slice! In this tutorial, I’ll show you step by step how to make a round beaded kiwi using the circular weaving technique. We’ll be working with 3 mm seed beads and fishing line, but you can easily adapt the design for any bead size you prefer. The process is simple yet fascinating — each row brings the fruit to life, forming a perfect miniature kiwi with a realistic texture and shine. This adorable beaded kiwi looks almost good enough to eat! 🍃 You can use it as: • a keychain charm🍈, • a bag or backpack pendant, • or a cute handmade decoration to brighten your craft corner. To give it a fuller, rounder look, I’ll show you a trick: fill the inside with a small piece of a plastic bag — it helps keep the shape firm and perfectly 3D. This little detail makes a huge difference in the final result! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced beader, you’ll enjoy this relaxing process. The kiwi pattern is easy to follow, but it also teaches great techniques for future 3D beadwork — like how to shape, stabilize, and balance round objects using circular weaving. Once you master it, you can use the same principle to make other fruits — oranges, lemons, watermelons, and more! 🍊🍉 ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial: — How to weave a perfect round shape using the circular technique — How to switch bead colors for a realistic kiwi look — How to fill and close your 3D beadwork neatly — Tips for creating smooth curves and balanced symmetry 💡 Materials Used: • Size 8 seed beads (you can also use 10/0 or 11/0 for smaller fruits) • Fishing line or strong beading thread • Scissors and a tiny piece of plastic for filling This beaded kiwi is not just a cute accessory — it’s a relaxing, meditative craft that helps you explore color harmony and design balance in miniature bead art.
