* 2.5 Yards Thin Wire
* 1 Lanyard Hook
* 79 Red Pony Beads
* 152 White Pony Beads
Instructions:
Fold your wire in half to find the center. Use a half hitch (see detail left) to secure it to lanyard hook. Then, lace beads using the pattern to below as a guide. You basically add a row of beads to one side of the wire, slide the other side through, and then straighten and tighten each row. After completing the last row of beads, string a few extra beads onto one of the ends of the wire. Then tie it to the other end of the extra wire, making a small knot. Cut any excess wire and then cover the knot with the extra beads you strung. Also, it's fun to experiment with other colors besides red and white.
