Take two of your 6-inch pipe cleaners together and make sure they are even. Slip the bead you want to use as your head over both pieces. The parts of the pipe cleaners sticking out of the top of the head are going to be the hair, so adjust the position of the "head" bead on the pipe cleaner accordingly. Do you want short hair? Keep the head towards the top. Long hair? Move the bead down a bit.

From the bottom, slip one bead (such as a large, plastic "pony" bead) over both pipe cleaners. This will be your neck bead.

Take the third pipe cleaner and find the center, placing it just underneath the neck bead. Make sure the both sides are even!

Twist it the third pipe cleaner around the two pipe cleaners once. This pipe cleaner makes the Beadlin's arms.

Under the arms, slide your "body bead" or spool to make the trunk of the Beadlin'. I like to use a craft spool because it is a nice surface on which to later attach clothes, but a larger bead works just as well.

Begin beading the arms and legs as you wish. To end each of the limbs, just fold over the tip of the pipe cleaner and wrap it around the last bead.

You can further accessorize your Beadlin's hair by adding more beads to the pipe cleaners that sprout from the top of its head!

And just like that, you have a cute Beadlin'! After you have made your basic Beadlin', you can choose to bump it up by adding ribbon, beads, buttons, anything to make cool clothes.
