  • 3 yards of plastic lanyard
  • Plastic beads (1/4-inch diameter)
Instructions

  2. Thread a plastic bead onto one strand of the lanyard. Send the other strand through the bead in the opposite direction. Pull on both strands to tighten. Continue adding beads using the same method until the strap is as long as you would like.
