Greg,
I have gotten the beads for the kits I am selling. I had ordered narrow
grosgrain ribbon, but it is too thick and I have used other things, but it
does show on the outer edge of each row, so color is a consideration.
The hole in the beads are 4 mm so you nead something thinner then 1/4'
wide. They do have grosgraine ribbon out there 1/8" wide, but not a large
color choice. I have several more pony bead classes planned for September &
October and I will be looking for 1/4" ribbon grosgrain, but not sure if
that will work well. I was hoping to find the grosgrain as that has a
little more thickness to push through the beads.
If all else fails I will use my stand by curling ribbon and advise folks to
get and use #16 blundt tip needle[plastic canvas needles] This ribbon will
fit in the eye of this needle.
If you plan on making a few of these progects you can pick the ribbon up at
a card shop in any color you can imagine. Be sure to get the I think it is
3/16" size. You can find this ribbon in large cones, too.

What is a good material for general pony bead projects? I know that you can
use ribbon for example, but I want something that will work for a lot of
projects and not have a rainbow of colors or do I really need that?
Greg
