Fabric Key Chain

 

It’s time to face the facts, my darling daughter is finishing up Driver’s Ed and will be receiving her driver’s license in a few days  …..ouch…….   I know. 

I want to surprise her with something special and after running across this great tutorial on how to make a Fabric Key Chain from the Idea Room, I knew I had to make one! 

 {I did say one. Right?}

I knew I had enough scrap fabric and ribbon to make one, I just needed to find the hook.  I found this one at Hobby Lobby.

At the last minute I decided to add one more layer by glue on the pink poke~a~dot ribbon. {I used fabric tack glue} 

I love the way this fabric key chain turned out! 

And it was sooooo easy!!!!  I just want to make a 100 of them.  {if I only had the time}  I will definitely be making one for myself….. maybe one for fall,  one for Christmas, one for Valentine’s Day, one for Spring!??!?!?!?!  Just LOVE them. 

Did I mention how easy they were to make?  {it took longer for me to photograph, upload and edit, and to write this post!}

 

One last thing……

I had a few of readers had asked about the Camera Bag that my mother made my daughter

  3. I bought one off Etsy a couple of years ago & still love it! I thought it probably wasn't too hard to make, but I really don't know how to sew very well! I hope you have more fun making a bunch of them ~ they're also a great gift idea. I'm sure your daughter will love it! What a great gift for a new driver!
