Rainbow Pony Bead Bracelet

Supplies

• 2 pipe cleaners
• Large green button with 4 holes
• Pony beads four of each color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

Instructions

• Thread one of the pipe cleaners through a hole in the button. Thread the other end of the pipe cleaner through the hole across from it on a diagonal (kitty corner).
• Thread the other pipe cleaner through the remaining two holes in the same fashion as the first.
• Separate the ends of the pipe cleaners so that there are two on the left and two on the right of the button.
• Thread beads onto one of the pipe cleaners in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Repeat the step on the second pipe cleaner.
• Repeat the previous step until all four pipe cleaners have beads on them.
• Twist the ends of the two pipe cleaners together where the beads end. Continue twisting until you reach the end of the pipe cleaners. Repeat on the other side.
• Close the bracelet around your wrist by twisting the ends of the pipe cleaners together. You'll want about an inch of leeway but can trim off any remaining excess.

I originally made this project for Spoonful. Spoonful has since closed and the instructions were taken down. I am putting the instructions here until such time that Spoonful projects are redirected to a new home. At that time I will remove the instructions and link directly to the project on their site.
