1. Cut a 6 ft piece of wire or cord. For cord find the halfway point on the cord and loop it onto your key ring or ornament hook as suggested in the illustration below. If you are using wire fold the wire in half and with one side make a couple of loops around the other side. See illustration below.
2. Thread your beads onto your wire or cord, according to the pattern guide below. If you need a larger view just click on the image and it will open into a new window.
3. Using a 2 ft piece of cord or wire, make the antlers according to the pattern below. The illustration is done with a lot of space so that you can see how it is done but you will pull as much slack out of your wire as possible so that your antlers will stand up properly.You can click to enlarge this image also.
If you used cord tie a double knot in the end of the cord and apply a dot of craft glue to each knot to secure them. If you used wire, twist together and tuck ends into the nearest bead.
Insert an ornament hook into the loop at the top and hang!
Seed beads or E-beads can be used in place of pony beads to create smaller reindeer.
