Instructions

  • The pattern for the Flag Day Holiday Key Chain Craft is available to print out for your use by clicking the following link: Flag Day Holiday Key Chain Craft Pattern.
  • Cut a piece of paracord that is about 2 ½ feet long. 
  • Wrap tape around the end of the paracord on each end. This will make it like a shoelace
  • String the first row of pony beads as shown on the pattern from WTN. Push these beads halfway down the paracord.
  • String the second row of pony beads on the end of the cord to your left according to the pattern.
  • Take the end of the paracord to your right and string it back through those beads. Gently pull the cords until the two rows of beads are sitting snuggly alongside one another. 
  • Repeat this for each row of pony beads until all 7 rows are finished.
  • Tie a split metal key ring to the end of the left cord to hold it in place.
  • Then tie the two ends of the paracord together with a square knot (shown on the WTN pattern). Cut the ends of the paracord to be about 1 inch long. 
  • Using a candle lighter, touch the ends of the paracord to the flame until the end melts just a bit. This will keep it from unraveling. Help younger kids with this step.
  • Place a drop of glue on the square knot you tied to help prevent it from coming undone.
  • Happy flag day (June 14) for those in the U.S.!
