[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pony Beads

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I was poking around on the internet and found that they have lots of  
patterns with supply  lists of what and how many pony beads you need.   They have 
the amount of cord and suggested cord size to make larriette s  suggested 
number of beads were something like 50 in total so I don't have any  idea of 
how large this thing is.  The bummer was how to put the beads  togeth was a 
picture and not in words.  I would love to get these patterns  in words for 
the blind and build a library for the blind and visually  impaired.er

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.
