Hello there, welcome πŸ€— once more to my little corner of the Internet. Have you ever seen a beaded lollipop/candy before? I bet if you have, either way, come along and let me show you one.

A few months back, my son had difficulty pronouncing the C for Candy 🍭 in his phonics song; he could only say "ca ca" without putting the "ndy.". Fast-forward to about a week ago, a video of a beaded candy popped up on my screen while I was searching for a particular song on YouTube. I couldn't just resist its cuteness, so I thought of adding the candy to my son's bead collection. Even though he is now able to pronounce the letter C and the word candy, I still wanted to make this for him.

In my today's #creativesunday I invite you to join me in making a sweet-looking candy/lollipop, as we usually call it here in Nigeria.

The material used:
to make this sweet-looking candy I used red and white seed beads, 0.3 fishline, and scissors.

Step-by-step process
The process is quite simple and not time-consuming, so come with me and let me show you how.

Step 1:
I started by cutting a 100 cm fishline, putting three red and two white beads interchangeably on the fishline, and then crossing both fishlines with the sixth bead.

Step 2:
I passed the right fishline through the next red bead, put three white beads on the left fishline, and then crossed both fishlines with one red bead.

Step 3:
I passed the right fishline through the next red bead, put two red beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one white bead.

Step 7:
Here, I put four beads on the left fishline and crossed both fishlines with the fourth bead.

It did not only look like candy, it feels like candy, but it will definitely taste like bead lol.
