Pony Bead Crafts

Pony bead projects all need three things to complete the craft.

A hook of some sort. (This will allow you to hang your finished design from a backpack, a belt loop, a purse, a binder, or anything else that you care to hang it on!)

Pony beads. (Beads come is several sizes and colors.)

String (You can use a twine, a plastic string or embroidery thread)

To make a pony bead craft start with a hook or ring. Take your string and fold it in half. Take the middle of the string and tie it onto your hook with a knot. This will attach the string to the hook. Put the appropriate number of beads on each row by stringing the beads. Then thread the opposite string through that completed row going the opposite way that you did with the first string. Continue to do this with each row. Knot the string when you are finished with your pony beads craft. Keep the string a taut as you can with each row of beads.
