Hot glue guns were originally developed for industrial use, not crafting. Hot-melt adhesives offered manufacturers a fast way to bond materials without waiting for a liquid glue to dry. Smaller, easier-to-use glue guns eventually brought the same idea into homes and craft rooms. Hot glue works a little differently from many familiar adhesives: the glue stick is melted inside the gun, applied while hot, and forms its bond as it cools and hardens—one reason it became such a useful tool for projects that need to stay put without a long drying time.
1. Find the halfway point of the cord and double-knot it onto the key ring.
2. Begin weaving the beads onto the cord, following the pattern.
3. After finishing the pattern, tie a double knot in the cord. Apply a dot of craft glue to each knot to secure them.
4. Three or four beads can be strung onto the end of the cord as a finishing touch (optional).
Seed beads or E-beads can be used in place of pony beads to create smaller characters.
