Show your team spirit with a beaded football keychain made with pony beads. Choose your favorite school, college or professional team colors, or create your own combination to personalize the design. The finished football makes a fun addition to a key ring, backpack, sports bag or zipper pull. Make several for teammates and football fans, give them as handmade gifts, or use them as an inexpensive craft for school, club or team fundraisers.
