Stretch, the Ostrich
Materials:
4 yards ribbon, cord or plastic lacing 1 lanyard hook
84 tan pony beads
67 brown pony beads
29 white pony beads
2 translucent goldenrod pony beads
Black sharpie marker or craft paint to draw on eyes and nostrils
Note: You don’t begin with a lanyard hook.
It is added where indicated by the star. Lace the hook on just as
you would a bead. Also, follow the string path carefully around
the wings.
Special Instructions for the feet: Lace 16 tan
beads on one strand. This will be for the leg. Next, lace on 2
beads and go back through the first bead of the two. Lace on 4
beads and go back through the first two beads. This will complete
the foot, then continue weaving back up (two beads at a time) to
form the leg.
