Key to My Heart

I have been making these for yrs. and always loved the simplicity of them. Some pony beads , a key ring , leather cord or other weaving cord is all you need. Every time I make these I am asked to make one for a friend or one of my children's friends. They can be as long or as short as you would like but keep in mind what keys will be going on the key ring. You don't want something to long with your car keys on it.

Fold Cord in Half

Place thru key ring

Pull thru loop & tighten

Do this 2 times / you'll have 4 strips

Thread 1 pony bead onto 2 middle strips

Thread 1 pony bead onto 2 outer strips

Thread 1 pony bead of diff. color onto 2 middle strips

Thread 2 pony beads onto 1 outer strip each side

Thread 1 pony bead onto 2 outer strips each side

Thread 1 pony bead onto 2 center strips

This is your top decoration


Take Concho and thread all 4 strips thru top

Pull all 4 thru bottom of Concho

Now thread as many pony beads as you would like
onto each strip and knot. Trim any extra off.

You can secure the Concho with a hot glue gun or
Super glue.
