Build A Key Chain with Bind-It-All

Welcome back to yet another

quick idea tutorial!

Today we are going to be 

building a key chain made

from O-Wire Scraps.

If anyone knew me as of

right now I waste nothing when

it comes to crafting in which

I find it hard to toss those

single O-Wire scraps out.

The shape of them alone reminded

me of a key chain loop and

I thought BINGO!!!

I will make a key chain.

Here we go!

There are no set supplies really

for this project except

for your O-Wire and

Bind-It-All. These are

some of the supplies that I used.

Feel totally free to make this

project your very own.

I cut my pieces out ahead of 

time and went ahead and gave

them some embellishment.

Here we see the front and 

back of this key chain.

Make sure to adhere tap on

first and punch whole.

We now have back and front

adhered.

Now we are going to place

key chain element in zip lock bag.

We are going to stitch this element

inside. I hand stitched but if you

have a sewing machine that

is just so much better. You don't 

have to use zip lock bag. It

can be anything translucent that

can be sewn through.

After stitching all around we

are now going to use our

Bind-It-All to put the O-Wire

loop on. Make sure it is looped to

where the seam of O-Wire is on the back.

Here we have finished product!!!

I made the one for my daughter

ahead of time to show that you

can add as many as you want.

My personal key chain is going

to include family. Just key moments

in which I want to look back on.

Again, please make this your

own and let your imagination run

with it.

Here are a few more detail pictures.

Well, I quite enjoyed this even

though it gave me a few

challenges in the beginning. LOL!

It was very well worth it.

Please if you give this project a

whirl share with us. We

love to see what you all

create. 

Thank you for stopping by!!!

Let's Jazz Up Those O'wires!

Good Morning from sunny Saudi Arabia! Well, its morning here... may actually midnight for you guys... but you know what I mean! ;) Its going to be HOT today... its already over 40 degrees and its only mid morning so I will just stay indoors in the aircon and play in the scrap room!!

Thought I would pop by and have a chat about o'wires... I mean, what scrapper can have something so convenient for attaching things to and be able to leave them alone? Obviously ribbons are the first thing to head for, they look so lush all bunched up on the o'wires, but there are other things we can use for a different sort of look.

Beads, I love beads, the only thing you have to remember when scouting about for them is to go for the largest holed beads you can find, because we still want to be able to turn the pages of our book.

Jump rings are brilliant too, you can use them to attach chains and dangle stuff off the chain.

For this version, I only had bright yellow wooden beads which weren't really going to go with the book, so I painted them black and then heat emboosed a pattern on them in bronze and they look fab with heavily inked covers.

Jump rings and rik rak for tieing tags and things to the o'wire.

You can also thread your beads onto wire and attach them to the o'wires that way. This means you can get away with using beads with smaller hole in the centre. You can see a stunning version fo this on Lea's blog with her Twilight book (which is divine and I understand why her daughter made off with it like a bandit)!!

Chain is my favourite, I love to thread beads and odd bits onto the chain and cut it into varying lengths and then hang the entire thing from the top o'wire.

So, hope this has spurred you on to trying something other than ribbon to decorate your o'wires!!
