Welcome to another tutorial!
I got a little carried away with making beaded goldfishes lately, as you can see, that I have decided to make this tutorial to show you how to make a smaller and simplified version.
This method does not require you to purchase too many beads in different sizes. A lot easier to follow because it only used 2 sizes of white beads, 2 sizes of orange beads, black beads for the eye, and red beads for the mouth. I have also changed the design of the fins and tail section. This design is much smaller and uses less materials. Ideal for people who want to make a smaller fish, and on a budget.
If you have already learnt how to make the goldfish, skip to the fin and tail section to see how it is changed. Fin Section 6:40 and the Tail Section at 18:33.
The Chinese consider the fish symbolises abundance, fertility, health, happiness, creativity, good luck, intelligence, strength, endurance and transformation.
These make a great gift for anyone just starting a business or moved into a new house. Used as wall hangings, either side of painting or curtain poles. They can be displayed on its own or even better as a pair. Great for decorating the home during the Lunar New Year Celebrations.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I have one more beaded tutorial up my sleeve before I move onto my next exciting project!
