Hi.

It is a privilege to share this little creativity of mine through this contest.
I could call it DIY or craft.
I would be showing, with this post step by step how to make a little beaded key holder for.

It is a little bit technical, but no worries, it is still craft and creativity. And I would try to be explanatory enough.
to make this, you need:
Beads (Not sand beads. Bigger size)
Fishing line or simply line
Stopper
Cutter
Flat nose pliers
Ring coil

Steps:

  1. It is a short sequence of cubes, so we're starting with four beads in a line with the fourth bead interlocking the rest together.
  2. You should get something like a rhombus or square shaped structure at first.
  3. Since it a sequence of four as mentioned earlier, all result of the lined bead must equal four. Starting with the interlocked bead, add two more beads to a side then interlock with another to the left. This adds up to four.
  4. The result of the above should give a structure looking like a double rhombus
  5. Pass the line through the hole of the other top bead at horizontal. At this point, you can decide to change bead colour to give it a design.
  6. Since the line is through two beads, it has to be completed by two more beads. Don't focus on whatever structure it is giving for now; add a bead to the side of trend (left) then interlock with one again.
  7. Tighten the line and it would give a confusing shape of half ball. (Not the destination 🌝)
  8. Pull the line through the three beads you can see arranged close to each other. Since it's three beads, add one which would also act as in interlocking bead.
  9. Hold the line in a tight fist and now you should see a small beaded cube. But we are not stopping here. We're going up. Start with the previous interlocking bead, add two beads.

  1. Following the side of trend (left) add your interlocking bead to seal and begin another one atop.

  1. Pull the line through an adjacent bead close to the last interlocking bead; then add one bead and interlock with one again. (Don't forget the trend.
  2. Repeat step 11 to get the third wall atop.
  3. Get your fourth wall by pulling the line through the following adjacent bead and the closeest next bead. Seal the three with a bead as the interlocker.
  4. Tighten your fist on the line and now you have a cuboid beaded keyholder…still in the making. It should give a structure as the picture labelled 14. Optionally you can switch colours to add to its beauty and you can continue upward depending on how long you prefer.
  5. Get your ring coil and pull it through the fishing line. Then run the line through the four prominent beads atop.
  6. Get your stopper and pull the two sides of the line through it. Yes, the stopper would serve to interlock
  7. Using your pin down the stopper and this would prevent falling off or dismantling of the work
  8. Cut off excess line using the cutter and you have a little beaded key holder
  9. Add your keys. (Car keys, home keys, store keys…)

Here we go 😪🤧
I hope you enjoy the process by the time you take your time to try it out later anyways.
