Personalized embroidered keychains

• How to Make personalized embroidered keychains
• Personalized embroidered keychains another super
  easy project. So easy, in fact, you would
  possibly find it boring... especially so if your
  home appliance is capable of embroidery. Mine
  isn't then I had to stitch each name in small
  pieces of Aida cloth.
• To be honest, I had these names sewn many weeks
  ago with the intention of using them for
  personalized fabric journal covers. After
  completing only one, I simply got lazy to try to
  to more. Hence, these appliques were put aside
  for a few other uses. Which brings us back to the
  key chains...
• If your machine can embroider, you do not need
  these appliques. But if you've got to form them,
  I suggest you employ a backstitch alphabet
  pattern to stay the letters small. Cut the piece
  to size and fuse with interfacing to stabilize
  it. you'll take a glance at this and this for a
  few alphabet patterns if you would like.
• Let's start the tutorial now, shall we?
• Requirements
• 6" by 4" printed cotton fabric
• 6" by 3" stiff fusible interfacing
• 4mm eyelet
• 1-piece key chain part (sorry, I don't know what
  to call it!)
• 1 3/4" key ring or large jumpring
• optional beads, charms
• embroidered name on Aida scrap, if using
• How to
• Prepare all of your materials. If you haven't
  installed an eyelet before, don't be intimidated.
  it's super simple. alittle packet of eyelets
  accompany the needed tools.
• Center your interfacing to wrong side of cloth
  such 1/2" on both long sides will remain
  uninterfaced. Fuse.
• Fold in the uninterfaced 1/2" on both sides.
• Fold shorter sides to the center and press well.

• With applique side up and following the
  manufacturer's instructions, install the eyelet
  on the middle right side, about 1/4" from the
  sting.
• Insert hoop through the eyelet. pack up by
  attaching the key chain part. Embellish with
  charms and beads if desired.
• Go on and try it! I'm off now to think of more
  gift ideas...will be back soon!
