Those badge holders made a few years ago, weren't they made from poney beads?

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.
