Pony Beads are larger than Seed Beads, but smaller than Crow Beads.  They get their name from the pony and mule trains that brought these beads to Western North America. These beads were available to the Native Americans of the Plains before the introduction of Seed Beads.   Crafters find them easy to string on various materials like thread, elastic, or wire. Their size can range from around 3 mm to 5 mm in diameter.  Crafters commonly use them to make bracelets, necklaces, keychains, and even intricate bead weaving.  Due to their size and ease of handling, both beginner and advanced crafters will find them easy to use.
