This adorable crocodile pony bead keychain is such a fun little craft! Grab your pony beads and make your own cute croc to clip onto your backpack, purse, or keys!
Supplies:
- pony beads
- matte beads (for body)
- black aurora borealis (you can also find these on Amazon, or you can use a plain shiny black bead, glittery black bead or a different color altogether)
- pony bead lacing – I used the color “frost.” You will need one piece that is 66″ (5.5 feet) long.
- keychain
- gaff tape *optional* this is the tape I use to hold the keychain clips on to my table while make the keychains. This tape is very strong but does not leave behind sticky residue etc.
