Free Instructions: Tiny Bee Honeycomb Home

Follow our step by step instructions to make your own cute little honeycomb home for your tiny bee! Did you know our tiny bee charm is a charity charm? The little bee charm we have used is our charity charm! For every multi pack of our tiny bee charm we sell, we donate 50% of the retail value to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust (Learn More) You could make two honeycombs to make into earrings, or add a jump ring and add to a chain. Or attach it to some card to make it in to a lovely handmade card…. Or simply hang it up somewhere decorative!

Materials Needed:1

Tools Needed:

  • A pair of sharp Scissors (SCIMX)
  • A pair of chain nosed pliers (BEECN-1)
