Get udderly creative with this delightful pony bead cow keychain made with beads and cord. Forget sophisticated artistry. This is pure, unadulterated fun, a project that summons a smile with every pony bead threaded onto the cord. The image of the cow is already imprinted in my mind: a plump, friendly face, speckled with mismatched spots, and ears that perk up with a hint of mischievous curiosity.

This little cow is incredibly practical too. Attach it to your keys for an instant pop of personality, adorn a backpack to make it uniquely yours, or use it as a cheerful zipper pull or fan pull. Make one as a thoughtful handmade gift for a cow lover, use it for summer camp or group crafts, or make several for farm-themed events, giveaways and fundraisers. If you're looking for free pony bead keychain patterns, this cow is a fun addition to your collection of farm animal keychain pattern crafts.
Note: For your convenience and to assist you in being able to locate the material required for this project, some or all of the materials listed may be linked to other websites or contain affiliate links. All links in the material list will open into a new window so that you don't lose this pattern page.
Materials Needed:

Helpful Hint: If the end of your cord frays easily, dip it into a little melted wax and smooth the end with your fingers. The wax helps prevent fraying and makes the end stiffer and easier to thread through the beads.

Instructions

Start a pony bead cow keychain by attaching the cord to a key ring with a lark's head knot.1. Find the halfway point of the cord or wire you are using and attach it onto the key ring using a lark's head knot (shown in the photo).

3. After finishing the pattern, tie a double knot or surgeon's knot in the cords at the bottom. Add a small drop of craft glue to the knot to prevent it from coming untied during use. Let the glue dry, then trim away any excess cord.

4. (Optional) Weave your wire or pipe cleaner through one of the widest rows in the middle of your beaded cow keychain to make it stiffer and help it hold its shape. Three or four beads can be strung onto the end of the cord as a finishing touch.
