Instructions

Preparation

Gather all materials in a clean, well-lit area and organize your workspace.
Cut a piece of elastic cord about 12-15 inches long for the fish design.

Creating the Fish

Thread beads onto the cord to form the body of the fish, using multiple colors to create patterns.
Choose 6-10 beads for the body depending on the desired size.
Add extra beads at each end for the fins and tail, leaving 2-3 beads free at each end.

Finishing Touches

Tie a knot at both ends carefully to secure the beads in place, ensuring it's tight.
Thread the end of the elastic through a keyring or keychain clasp and secure it with another knot.
Trim any excess cord if necessary.

Notes

Customize colors, add charms for embellishment, and experiment with cord lengths for different fish sizes. Store your keychain in a small pouch or box to prevent tangling.
