Instructions:

Paint wooden blank. Let dry.

Use tacky glue to secure a row of eleven white pony beads 1/2" from side edge of wooden blank. Glue them side-to-side with no space in between. Glue another row of 11 beads 1/2" from the other side. Let dry.

Cut plastic drinking straws in half. Split each piece in half lengthwise. Put a dab of glue in each bead on your wooden blank. Place one of your straw pieces in the first bead. Push 13 white beads onto the straw. Place a dab of glue inside another bead and add to top. Trim straw. Continue using pattern show above. Repeat for other side. Place a dab of glue on the sides of the top beads to hold them together.

For more support, glue a piece of cardboard to the insides of the beads.
