[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cord for Pony Beads

[minh ha]

Greg,

For pony bead projects, people usually use satin rattail cord which is
2 mm wide and it works really well. I found 100 yard rolls of satin
cording on Amazon for 5 dollars each and they come in a variety of
colors.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
