Ball Point Pen
Yarn or other multi-colored yarn
Tacky Glue
Pony Beads, Sparkle
Wooden ABC Beads
Using as little glue as possible, place a very thin bead of glue near the tip of the pen and up about 1" on to the barrel.
Starting near the tip, wrap yarn tightly around pen without leaving any gaps. Add more glue as you go.
You can change yarn colors but it is much easier to use multicolor yarn.
When you reach the end, trim and secure with a little dab of glue.
Cut three 12" pieces of yarn.
Knot the three pieces together near one end. Braid and end with another knot.
