Steps
- Cut a length of cord, find the center, and mount on key ring or lanyard hook with a lark's head knot - or - fold cord in half and tie an overhand knot, leaving a loop for hanging.
- Row 1 - String beads for the first row onto the right cord, then slide the center. Weave left cord, from left to right, through beads.
- Row 2 - String the second row of beads on right cord. Weave left cord, from left to right, through beads. Continue stringing on right cord and weaving left cord through beads to complete project.
- Row 3 (arms, legs and wings) - String all beads for each appendage on one cord. Bring beads for outer row out a little way on cord, and then bring bead for next-to-last row out. Weave the cord back through bead to next-to-last row and pull to tighten. Bring beads for next row out and weave cord through them. Continue until leg, arm, or wing is constructed.
- Beginning at the body, pull cord through, one row at a time, to tighten cord and bring leg, arm, or wing up to body.
- When beading is complete, tie cord ends in 1 to 2 overhand knots to secure beads. If beads are added to ending cord, tie another knot to secure added beads.
