Materials Needed:
Note: Links to product pages will open in a separate window.
You will need one connector such as a Lanyard hook, or any type of Key Ring.

Next, you will need 2 yards of cord for our mouse. There are lots of different types of cords you can use. We prefer a cord that is 2mm to 3mm thick because it helps your keychain critter keep it's shape better. Alternatively, you can use a thinner cord and weave a little wire or a pipe cleaner into your keychain critter to help it keep it's shape that way. Either way works just fine but you can experiment with it to see which method you prefer.

One good option is Suede Cord . Another good choice is Monofilament Cord or 2mm metallic cording. Other good choices would be jute or hemp cord, leather necklace cord, rattail cord, shoelaces, ribbon, paracord, or a strong jewelry cord like tigertail.

You will need 29 - White Pony Beads (or the color of your choice). As a variation you might like to use glitter pony beads or glow-in-the-dark pony beads in place of the white.

46 - Pink Pony Beads (or the color of your choice)

2 - Black Pony Beads for the eyes. (or the color of your choice).

1 - Hot Pink Pony Beads for the nose. (or the color of your choice).

Optional: For a stiffer critter you can include a little wire or a pipe cleaner with your cord to help keep it's shape
Beading Wire or Pipe Cleaners

Instructions

1. Find the half way point of the cord or wire you are using and use a lark's head knot to attach it to your key ring (shown in photo).

2. Begin weaving the beads onto the cord following the pattern at the bottom of the page. You can click on the image for a larger, better resolution photo.

3. After finishing the pattern tie a double knot in the cords at the bottom of your bunny, on the last row and apply tacky glue to secure. You can hide the knot inside one of the beads.

4. Weave your wire or pipe cleaner through your beaded bug keychain to make it stiffer and hold it's shape.

(Seed beads or E beads can be used in place of pony beads to create smaller characters.)

The illustration below uses green and blue to show you how each side of your cord is woven through the beads.
