For the last class of the semester I decided to give my students the opportunity to make little key rings from fuse beads. They were all so happy to create tiny key chains from beads. They had great patience in placing the beads and the class was very relaxed. It was a wonderful craft for the end of the semester.

Lee-Kuo has been knotting since he was about 8 years old. He watched his mum make complicated patterns and animals and began knotting simple things like the examples below. Now he can knot incredibly complicated patterns and enjoys making them for friends.

Lee-Kuo made these dogs at his grandparents last year. He made one for his grandma and then decided to make a few more with any beads he could find. He can make them without any instructions, simply from memory. The smallest one he made was given to his aunt in America.
