Looking for guidance on how to make beaded crochet projects look better

I got myself stuff to do it earlier in the year because I want to make beaded amigurumi keychains, but I haven’t been able to find anything that gives advice on how to make it look neat… I’m aware that if I just practice I’d probably improve naturally but I would still like some advice or to find a tutorial or something that could maybe help me along the way.

I’ve watched a few that tell you how to do beaded crochet but ya know how there’s tonnes of videos about how to do invisible joins and decreased and all the other things that makes an amigurumi piece look neater? I haven’t been able to find anything similar for doing beaded amigurumi/3D pieces.

I’ve been crocheting for a number of years now but I’m an absolute beginner working with beads. Does anyone have any hints, tips and/or advice?

Do you have a specific pattern you are thinking of? Or are you creating your own? I think practice is always good. If you have a picture of what you have in mind, maybe I could find some resources.

I’d like to make a beaded moon keychain (not a flat piece). I’ve not seen any patterns for a beaded one though. I was just going to follow a non-beaded pattern and just add beads.

When you do it, make a video for help for others. :wink:
