Materials Needed:
    Note: Links to product pages will open in a separate window.

    You will need one connector such as a Lanyard Hook Lanyard hook, or any type of Keyrings Key Ring.

    Next, you will need 3 yards of cord for our mouse. There are lots of different types of cords you can use. We prefer a cord that is 2mm to 3mm thick because it helps your wildlife keychain critter keep it's shape better. Alternatively, you can use a thinner cord and weave a little wire or a pipe cleaner into your keychain critter to help it keep it's shape that way. Either way works just fine but you can experiment with it to see which method you prefer.

    One good option is Suede Cord Suede Cord . Another good choice is Monofilament Cord Monofilament Cord or 2mm Metallic Cord 2mm metallic cording. Other good choices would be jute or hemp cord, leather necklace cord, rattail cord, shoelaces, ribbon, paracord, or a strong jewelry cord like tigertail.

    You will need Black Pony Beads  108 - Black Pony Beads (or the color of your choice).

    White Pony Beads  40 - White Pony Beads. Glitter Pony Beads or Glow-In-The-Dark Pony Beads would also work well for the white portion of your skunk.

    Optional: For a stiffer critter you can include a little wire or a pipe cleaner with your cord to help keep it's shape
    Jewelry Wire  Beading Wire or Pipe Cleaners  Pipe Cleaners

Instructions:

Connect your cord to your keyring with a Lark's Head knot.
1. Find the half way point of the cord or wire you are using and double knot it onto the keyring. You can also use a lark's head knot (shown in photo).

Begin stringing your beads
2. Begin weaving the beads onto the cord following the pattern at the bottom of the page. You can click on the image for a larger, better resolution photo.

3. After finishing the pattern tie a double knot in the cords at the bottom and apply tacky glue to secure.

4. Weave your wire or pipe cleaner through your beaded skunk keychain to make it stiffer and hold it's shape.

(Seed beads or E beads can be used in place of pony beads to create smaller characters.)

The illustration below uses red and blue to show you how each cord side is woven into the beads. Your cord, of course, will be all the same color.
