Cut two 4 ft. pieces of plastic craft lace. Tie them on a key ring so the same
colors are opposite each other; (fig. A).
Fold strand 1 to opposite side leaving a small loop; (fig. B). Fold strand 3 to opposite
side leaving a small loop. Hold strands in place with one hand.
With your other hand, weave strand 2 over strand 3 and under strand 1. Weave strand 4 over
strand 1 and under strand 3; (fig. C) Pull tightly, stretching the cord slightly to
secure. Continue until you have about 3" braid. String 3 pony beads onto each strand.
Tie off securely and trim.
