🦎 Pony Bead Reptile Keychain Set — 5 Patterns (PDF)
5 keychains • pony beads 9 × 6 mm • cord only, no needle • 20 pages • A4 + US Letter
Lizard, gecko, frog, snake, turtle. One length of cord, two ends, and a handful of pony beads — the cord does the work, so there's no needle to thread and nothing sharp on the table. Made at a kitchen table in an afternoon. ✨
