As we all remember tomorrow is September 11th a day that shall not be forgotten. This is a very simple craft idea that your children can enjoy helping you craft. As you construct this pin tell them what 9/11 means to your family and what happened on that tragic day.
Supplies:
- 6 Safty Pins, Size Four
- 1 Safety Pin, Coiless 2-1/4″
- Red, White, and Blue Pony Beads
- Number Beads
Instructions:Each row is a size 4 pin with pony beads strung on it. Open pins and string beads following the picture above provided. Start at the top with column 1 and work down. You will have 6 beaded pins.
Open up a coiless pin. You’ll need to open the pin out to a wide angle to get the beads around the loop. Beginning with the beaded pin on the far right, thread base loop of the beaded pin onto the coiless pin, push around loop to the other side of the pin. String on a white pony bead then the 2nd pin from the right followed by an “1″ number bead. Continue until you have threaded on 6 pins and 5 letter beads, following pattern above from right to left. Close coiless pin.
