  Step 1

  First, gather all your supplies

  Out of your 56 beads:
  16 of one color for the body
  2 of another color for eyes
  2 heart shaped beads for the wings (same color as body)
  10 of two colors for the larger pair of wings
  8 of two colors for the smaller pair of wings

  (The cord pictured is way more than 2 yards :P)

• 

  Step 2

  Cut 2 yards of your cord and fold in half

• 

  Step 3

  Tie the cord onto the key ring

  The picture is pretty crappy, but I believe it is called a half hitch..?

• 

  Step 4

  Thread 2 of your body-color beads onto one side

  Thread the other cord through the opposite way (see picture)

• 

  Step 5

  Pull tight and try to center the key ring over the 2 beads

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat steps 4-5 to add the next 2 rows
  Colors:

  1) eye, body, eye
  2) body, body, body

• 

  Step 7

  String 10 wing color beads (alterating colors) onto one side

• 

  Step 8

  Go through all 10 beads again to make a loop

• 

  Step 9

  Go through the first 3 beads on the top another time and string on 1 heart shaped bead

• 

  Step 10

  Now go through the three beads from the body on the bottom (like on the top) and pull tight

• 

  Step 11

  Repeat steps 7-10 for the opposite wing

• 

  Step 12

  Repeat steps 4-5 to add 2 more rows to the body
  Colors:

  1)body, body, body
  2)body, body

• 

  Step 13

  String 8 wing color beads (alternating colors) onto one side

• 

  Step 14

  Go back through all 8 beads to make a loop (just like for the top wing

• 

  Step 15

  Repeat steps 13-14 to make the opposite wing

• 

  Step 16

  Add 3 more rows to the body
  Colors:

  1) body, body
  2) body, body
  3) body

• 

  Step 17

  Tie off the ends and sinp off the extra cord (I triple-knotted it)

• 

  Step 18

  Make more and give them to your friends! :D

  I made the navy, yellow, and orange one first

  Then the purple, yellow, and pink one

  And I made the pink, purple, and light pink one for the how-to ;D
