Halloween Pony Bead Creatures

 

By: Hands On Crafts for Kids

Pony Bead Halloween Ghost
Have fun making this fun Halloween ghost!

You Will Need:

  • 67 white pony beads or 67 magic beads
  • 2 blue pony beads
  • 4 yds. cord or ribbon
  • 1 key ring or lanyard hook (optional)
Instructions:
  1. Find the half way point of your ribbon or cord and double knot it onto the key ring or join two cords together and attached to the ring at the knot.
  2. Begin weaving the beads onto the cord following the pattern. For each row, you will thread the number of beads specified by the pattern onto one end of the cord. Then thread the other end of the cord through the same beads starting at the other side. When you finish each row, you will have one string coming out of one end and the other coming from the opposite side. The arms are formed by stringing 6 white beads onto each of the two strings and looping back through the last bead before continuing the center rows.
  3. After finishing the pattern, tie a double knot in the ends of the cord and apply tacky glue to secure the knot.
