This keychain is perfect for the fish lover in the family. Make this fun fishy keychain with a little bit of cord and pony beads. It is perfect for fishermen and makes a great summer camp craft or school team mascot. Fun and easy to make, this key ring is great for your key ring, to share as gifts, or to make for fund raisers.
If you make this project please share your photos with us. With your permission we'll add it to the page and credit it to you.
Chenille stems were originally developed for cleaning tobacco pipes, which is where the familiar name "pipe cleaner" came from. Their flexibility and fuzzy surface eventually made them a favorite material for all kinds of craft projects.
2. Begin weaving the beads onto the cord following the pattern at the top 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. Three or four beads can be strung onto the end of each cord as a finishing touch (This is optional and not included in the bead count in your material list.)
5. Weave your wire or pipe cleaner through your beaded fish 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.)
