3D Beaded Panther Head!!

This Instructable will show you how to make a 3D beaded pink panther head

- For this Instructable I will be using Faceted Round beads and Bicone beads, you can use different beads if you would like

2. String

• Approximately 5/6 Ft.

- Fishing line (6/8 Lb.) works best for 3D projects as it is very strong and thin enough to pass through the beads multiple times
