Dear Susie,
Looking at the websites, this is the method that appeals most, perhaps
with a wooden bead at the bottom for weight, but the pony beads would work
well. Except I'd like to try the 1/8" dowel first, as I like the idea of wood.
But it requires a trip to A.C. Moore, or Michaels, (for non Americans, these
are very common national craft supplies stores)and cost comparisons of the
various materials.
