After a good celebration, you might find yourself with a whole bunch of plastic bead necklaces. This simple craft is a cute and easy way to make use of these beads. They are made just like balloon animals, by twisting the necklace into the right shape.
Steps
-
Find the two beads melted together on a bead necklace. Give it a tug to break it and then snip of the two "bad" beads with the melted sides.
- Cut a string of beads thirteen beads long and one two beads long. These pieces will be the body and the ears.
- Twist four beads together behind the second bead on the long string to make a little square.
- Do the same thing to the other side of the long piece, so the two squares are right next to each other.
-
Wrap the two beads behind the first bead on either ends, making the ears and completing the dog.
Warnings
- The beads can be a choking hazard. Make sure to keep them away from small children and pets.
