Step 2: Let's Make the Arrangement to Make the Key Holder!

  • Draw a peacock shape on a mount board as shown.

  • We are using different colored stones to paste on these objects.
  • Now stick different bead laces around the stones to give it an attractive look. We have to repeat the process for all the colored object.
  • Paste these designs on the key holder.
  • Now use the golden color beads to decorate the peacock key holder.
