Autumn Mouse Coaster Beading Pattern

This sweet little field mouse sitting on fall foliage will warm your heart and home this holiday season.  With this beading pattern, you'll learn how to make this adorable autumn mouse beaded coaster or frameable beaded art, perfect for the holidays - and a great beaded art project for beginner beaders.  This Mosaic Beadpoint Autumn Mouse can be made into a waterproof coaster with cork backing, making it suitable for both hot and cold drinks. Or, you can pop your finished beaded art project (without a cork backing) into a standard-size, ready-made 4" x 4" frame to add a bit of woodland whimsy to any corner.

This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, a word chart, a bead chart, and over 50 high-resolution, full-color photos, along with easy-to-follow step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
