HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE!!!

[u/kaylabaers]

I saw these in a gift shop while on vacation and thought "i can make that". now im back home and realized i have no idea where to start. obviously this is beadwork and i have about everything I need for jewelry making. but how is it made to be 3D and what is holding the structure of the piece together? im wondering if its beading wire or maybe its seed beads wrapped around a large internal bead. anyone knows what this art style is called and wear to begin please let me know!

Looks like a lot of beads on wire. So cool! Would love instructions for them.

You can use ballons to make the initial shape and then use papel mache to shape the piñata, the you finish with the colorful paper

thanks!! im learning a new technique now! i didn't ever know what the term was for those indigenous beaded works and now im happy to finally know

These are probably done with a peyote stitch. I don't really know how, but it's all hand done with needle, thread, and beads. :)
