Materials:

Fancy pony beads

Alphabet beads to spell name or message

Stretch cord

Instructions:

Measure the distance around the wrist and allow some extra to knot. Draw a line the distance of the wrist measurement plus 1/2". Place the alphabet beads toward the center of the line spelling out your message. Add an equal number f pony beads to each side of your message to determine the number of beads you will need.

Thread the pony beads on one side of your message onto the stretch cord, add the beads that form your message being careful to have them all facing the same way so your message can be read.

After the message has been strung continue adding the pony beads. Knot the end tightly and trim the cord. Work the cord knot into the hole of the nearest pony bead.

These would make great friendship trade bracelets.
