Animals are constructed by passing cord in opposite directions through a row of beads to make the pattern, with the addition here and there of a wing, an arm or a tail!

Beads needed are either 9mm pony beads, thread needed is any thin cord that will pass at least twice through the beads.  Once the kids get really clever they can try their hand at making the same patterns using seed beads with fine crafting wire!

Here are links to buy materials needed!  Pony beads (only choose the 9mm sizes).  Rat Tail Cord 1mm.  Rat Tail Cord 2mm.  These cords hold up well for a good result for these projects.

For great savings, take a peek at our Variety Packs that include materials and string already - they make up to 8 items.  Australian Native Animals Variety Pack ~ Animals Variety Pack.
