The wire could be pushed down into stiraphome and make it look like he is sitting on the snow!

Hi Joyce.
No, I’m not using pony beads. I have some nice glass beads, not sure of the size, but I thought they’d be nice for the penguin. I think the hold is a bit smaller than a pony bead hole. But I’m happy with how it turned out.

Terry’s idea is interesting, but my wire is too thick for my crimping beads. But I’ll give some thought as to something like a branch my penguin could be sitting on. Ice, right?

Crimping bead is the word that she is looking for.

How about adding some green or brown beads and making a branch and then at each end, use a clamp bead on the edge of each piece of wire.
I can not think of the right name for the bead. You use a beading tool and squeeze the wire inside the bead, like when you end memory wire bracelets.
Hope someone else can explain it better. I never learned how to do it!

I just remade my pony bead penguin using wire instead of string, and it came out nice. However, the bead holes will only take 2 strands of wire, so I can’t tuck the ends of the wire into the beads. Can I twist the ends together to hold them, then curl up the ends, or is there a better way?
