15 Days to Mardi Gras
The History of the Mardi Gras Bead Dog

As a Mardi Gras tradition in New Orleans, carnival krewes throw beads and other trinkets from floats. Often, the beads become tangled and broken. For years, children have enjoyed twisting the broken beads into animal figurines.

The most popular animal to make is the dog. Various groups like Cub Scouts and Brownies make the little bead dogs and sell them for fundraising activities.

In the spirit of this tradition, Haydel's has created a rendering of the old time bead dog, jazzed up for the 21st century.
