1.   In a colorful, toy-filled child-care center, Mrs. Clinton chatted with children and joined them in stringing beads onto necklaces.

2.   Now, I have a hard time visualizing a group of cons sitting around a table making small talk while they string beads or make flower arrangements.

3.   Then, using flexible wire, string a few beads of complementary colors and textures.

4.   When the paint is dry, the beads can be strung together with dental floss or fishing line to make a necklace.
