Children love making designs with pony beads as they are large and easy for small hands to work with. Follow these simple instructions to make an American flag design. The beading stitch is a very easy wrap that does not require the use of a needle. Stars are not depicted in this pattern, but you can substitute white beads for some of the blue ones to include stars in your pony bead flags.
