Thread the Baker's Twine through a large-eyed needle.  Thread the following onto the twine:  one small bright colored wood bead, two unfinished wood beads, one painted bead, two unfinished wood beads, and one yarn pom-pom.  We alternated different colors of poms and beads for a fun, whimsical look.
