Pony Bead Bracelet

Digging into a bucket of pony beads always reminds me of summer camp. So when we decided to dedicate this Craft Lightning week to Camp Crafts, and create camp-inspired crafts that can be made in 15 minutes or less, I knew I would be whipping up a simple pony bead bracelet. This one is easy to make, and includes knot-tying, which is another camp staple!

Pony Bead Bracelet

To make this bracelet, you only need 2 supplies: cord and pony beads.

Start by cutting about a yard of cord, folding it in half, and tying a knot in the folded end.

Add a single bead on both strands of the cord.

Then add a bead on each side.

Now add another single bead, on both strands, and tie a knot to secure.

Repeat the process, adding two beads, then one, then a knot. Two beads, one, knot. over and over until your bracelet is the right length. Then fold the rest of the cording over to tie a BIG knot.

Cut the excess cord, and tuck the knot into your loop from the beginning to close the bracelet.
