Celebrating Memorial Day: Pride Pin

This is an easy version of this fun craft. The size will vary depending on the size pony beads that are used. Younger children should use the larger size beads.

Project Supplies:
Safety Pins
Pony Beads
18" Satin Cord


Variations:

Use red, white and blue for the USA pin. Use yellow for a parent that has gone to war. Use blue and yellow for cub scouts. Use green for girl scouts. Use brown for brownies.

Project Instructions:

Cut satin cord into 18" lengths. Fold in half and half hitch to a safety pin by placing the folded end down through the pin and drawing the cord ends down through the folded end loop. Diagram at right shows how a key ring will look with cord half hitched to it.

String the top bead onto both cords and push up to the safety pin. Lace the first row of three beads onto one cord. Lace the other cord through the same beads in reverse order. Pull both cords snugly. Continue with the next row of three beads until you have laced the five rows.

String the bottom bead onto both cords and push up to the last row. Tie off. Trim cords.
