Materials:
6x9mm Translucent (clear) Pony Beads
Clear Plastic Lacing/Rexlace
Clear Straws
Suction Cups with hooks
Scissors
Ruler
Hot Glue Gun (optional)
Construction:
- Cut the required length of plastic
lace.
- Fold lace in half with ends even.
- Starting at the top of Row 1 on the
pattern, string the beads onto the lace ends. Work from the top of the row
down.
- Slide the beads down to the fold
leaving a 1/4 inch loop of lace showing.
- Tie a square knot in lace ends against
the bottom bead and pull the lace ends tightly to make the knot as small as
possible.
- Grasp the loop at the other end and
carefully pull the knot up into the last bead.
- Trim the ends close to the knot and if
desired add a drop of hot glue.
- Stretch the loop and slide it onto the
straw.
- Repeat these steps for each row of
beads.
- Reinforce the straw by cutting a
second straw down its length and insert it into the first straw. This is
recommended for large projects.
- Cut the required length of lace for
the hanger and thread it through the straw.
- Bring the lace ends together and tie
an overhand knot pulling the ends tightly.
- Trim the ends and pull the knot into
the straw to hide it.
