Materials Needed:

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 1mm to 2mm 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 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 or glow-in-the-dark pony beads in place of the white.

You will need 46 - Pink Pony Beads (or the color of your choice). As a variation you might like to use glitter pony beads in place of the pink.

You will need 2 - Black Pony Beads for the eyes.

You will need 1 - Hot Pink Pony Beads for it's nose.

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

Instructions:

Connect your cord to your keyring with a Lark's Head knot.

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 boy 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 red to show you how each side of your cord is woven through the beads. It opens to a larger image if you click it.
