Wood Burned Key Rings

I'm back with another edition of 'what can I do with the pack of 100 keyring chains I ordered?'

This time, we're reaching for the pyrography tool.

I've made some wood burned dog things in the past that turned out well so I thought I'd give them another go. I bought a pack of little wooden discs which may have been a little bit too small but I'm committed now.

I found that using the pyrography tool worked best for long haired, fluffy dogs as it doesn't give enough precision for short haired dogs. I tried a few but wasn't happy with how they turned out, with the exception of the pug. He came out ok, if a little bug-eyed.

Once I'd drawn the dogs I just needed to drill a little hole in the discs and attach the key ring chain, and now they're good to go.

Sweet Treat Keyrings

I recently bought a box of 100 key ring chains to start building up my stock. I want to do more craft fairs throughout the year, rather than just Christmas ones, so I need to make more non-Christmas items.

I've made donut keyrings before so I thought I'd continue with that theme and make some other sweet treats. I started with these felt ice lollies, featuring a real lolly stick.

Then I made some ice cream cones. This was a great little project because these treats can really be any colour so it gave me a chance to use some of the other colours in my felt stash, rather than the neutral colours I use all the time for my felt dogs.

For the ice cream cone I added some stitching detail with my sewing machine. I'm really pleased with how that turned out. I also really like this style of decorating with the sequins and beads.

 And finally I made a few cupcake keyrings, decorated with bead sprinkles.

So that used nine of the key ring chains. Now to think of something for the other 91...

Heart Eyes Emoji Key Ring

I was a little bit late to the Whatsapp game as I only got it last summer, but since then I have been all about the emojis. So when I wanted a quick felt project to do I knew just what to make.

I wanted to start with a simple design so I went with the heart eyes emoji as it only has 3 additional elements; two hearts and a mouth. I cut these out of felt and stuck them to a yellow circle using UHU glue.

 Between two circles of yellow felt I put a wire ring which had the keyring attached. I stitched the two circles together and just before I completely closed them up I filled the felt with stuffing.

I think the keyring is really cute and I love how quick it was to make, it only took an evening.
I can't wait to make more of different emojis. Smiley poop emoji keyring anyone? Which emoji is your favourite?
