Materials:

• 2 1/2 yards plastic lacing
• 1 lanyard hook or keyring
• 41 brown pony beads
• 19 red pony beads
• 9 purple pony beads
• 9 yellow pony beads
• 9 blue pony beads
• 6 clear pony beads
• 6 tan pony beads
• 6 green pony beads
• 5 white pony beads

Special Instructions: Construct area A first. Then, insert lacing through point A to point B. Make feathers from the outside edge in, using just one end of the lacing on each side. When you get to the middle, work upward with one string, and add a lanyard hook at the top, then work the string back down. Finish by weaving the excess lacing through rows in Area A. This is really easier done than it sounds.
