How do you make beaded animals?

*Leather cording
*pony beads
*key ring

Cut about an 8" piece of leather cording. Bend in 1/2 and knot over the keyring at the center of the cord. (you will have two tails of cording hanging down from the keyring). Now, let your child be creative with threading the beads. They can thread the beads onto both tails, or thread a couple then knot, and continue on like we did. Make sure to leave enough cording to knot at the end. Have fun!
