[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pony Beads

[Theresa Taylor]

They are similar, but much more pronounced in being circles and the hole is 
very distinct. Some teens put them on the draw strings of their sweat shirts 
and so this shows you how big the hole can be. They still secure them with a 
knot at the end. Many key chains are also made with pony beads and you can 
find free patterns for different animals such as dragons, birds, cows or 
whatever. They attach the keychains to their back packs and they are pretty 
popular. Often simple string is used...so the supplies to make these 
creations is fairly easy to find at a local store.
