Doberman lovers can carry a little reminder of their favorite furry friend everywhere they go with this beaded dog keychain. Made with pony beads and cord, the pattern captures the distinctive look of a Doberman while still making a fun dog or puppy craft for anyone who loves four-legged companions. Make yours in traditional Doberman shades or choose your own colors for a one-of-a-kind beaded pet.
Attach the finished dog to a key ring, backpack, bag or zipper pull, or make one as a handmade gift for a Doberman owner or dog lover. This pony bead puppy also makes a fun summer camp, classroom or group project and can be adapted to school colors for a dog mascot or made in quantity for fundraisers.

3. After finishing the pattern tie a double knot in the cords at the bottom and apply tacky glue to secure.
4. Three or four beads can be strung onto the end of each cord as a finishing touch (This is optional and not included in the bead count in your material list.)
5. Weave your wire or pipe cleaner through your beaded doberman dog keychain to make it stiffer and hold it's shape.
(Seed beads or E beads can be used in place of pony beads to create smaller characters.)
