credits to SourKandiCastle on youtube for making the base part of these! all i added was the bottom part so you can add beads inside to make them shakers! the first 15 steps of this tutorial are the same as the video if yall would rather go and watch that! its just the last pics that show you how to add the bottom part onto it this is the last of the photo tutorials i posted onto my insta (@bubble.ow0) - ill be making a forum post for yall to ask for other photo tutorials!
Step 1
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) materials needed for the ghost shakers! pony beads : - 2 black - 2 pink (optional) - and a shit ton of white (and a handful more for the inside!) and about a wingspans length of stretch covered cloth cord (i use 1mm) NOTE: please use cloth covered stretch cord for this! i have noticed some people using crystal string and bc of the tension needed on the bottom it tends to stretch out and become lopsided!!
Step 2
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) first, start by adding three white beads onto your string, and tying them together like this! make sure to tie it tight!
Step 3
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) then, after putting your string throug hthe white bead next to it (shown in pic) you are going to add a white bead onto your string and put it through the next bead, as shown
Step 4
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) repeat that twice, and then thread your string rhrough the first bead we added , as shown (shoull end up with this triangle!!)
Step 5
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) next, add three white beads onto your string, and skipping over one of the white beads, to the next point in the triangle, thread your string through that white bead, as shown
Step 6
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) repeat that twice, and then put your string through the first three white beads we added on this row, as shown
Step 7
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) then, after adding one white bead, thread your string through the next three white beads again
Step 8
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) repeat that twice, then threading your string through the first white bead we added on this row, as shown make sure everything is still tight! this is when itll start to curve a it, and thats okay!
Step 9
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) now you will have 6 (six) white beads that are going to be out points (arrows pointing them out) add three white beads onto your string, and thread it through the next white point, skipping over a bead (in the middle)
Step 10
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) so, for the eyes, youre going to flip your work over, and look at that triangle we started with - where there are two beads at the bottom, is where you will add the eyes below it, in these spaces (reference arrows) (this photo is a step behind, so dont worry about having more beads that in here)
Step 11
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) so, still on the first row of 3 beads connecting the 6 points, you will add two black beads where your eyes should go (as pictured) it will be one white bead, a black bead, and another white bead for these points and thread your string into the first two white beads of the first point you made!
Step 12
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) now you will notice how we are basically just building an xbase cuff, so yuo are going to continue adding three white beads between the points (you should still have 6) - and this is optional but if you want to add little blush points, youll add them on either side of the black beads, as shown
Step 13
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) remember to keep everything tight! after doing that next row, you should have something like this, the beads will start curving in on each other at this point!
Step 14
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) from here you are going to repeat those steps, of adding three white beads between the 6 points, adding another row, fully white!
Step 15
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) and then repeat that another two times! on the outside you should end up with this! and this is where you are going to tie off your string, but not cut it off yet! note : this is where the youtube video ends, and where my part of the pattern begins!
Step 16
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) to start on the bottom cover, you are going to thread your sting to he end of the last row of three white beads, add a white bead, and skipping over the next bead below, thread your string through the next three white beads and repeat this all around the base
Step 17
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) once you get around the base, thread your string onto the first white bead we added onto that row! now you will add two beads onto your sting, and skip over the three beads on the base, to the next white bead we put between them, as pictured another angle shown above!
Step 18
(text in photo above, please reference pic!)] once yuoure around the base a second time, youre going to thread your string through the FIRST white bead in those two we added, as shown
Step 19
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) then add one white bead onto yuur string, and skipping over the next three white beads, go through the next three (refer to the photo and arrows!!)
Step 20
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) repeat that twice, and as usual thread your string up into the first white bead we added! this is when you add your beads! these will be inside the ghost and are what make the noise!
Step 21
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) now once yuou add your shaker beads, we can close up the bottom! add a white bead onto your string, and skipping over again, thread the string through the next pointed white bead, as shown and repeat this twice
Step 22
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) and now, once you tighten the string, you can go ahead and tie it off!!
Step 23
(text in photo above, please reference pic!) and enjoy your silly little ghost buddy! you can add more rows to make them longer or shorter, and experiment with colors! i hope you have un with them :)
