New Key Fob - I have made many of these for other people but this one is for me. I love being able to have my keys on my wrist especially when trying to take groceries into the house. The design is from DigiStitches and this one was made in a 6x10 hoop. The font is called Wedding Bliss and is from 8 Claws and A Paw Embroidery Fonts. The hardest part is turning the design right side out!!!!!! Thanks for taking a look!!!

Very nice! I too love the idea of hanging my keys on my wrist. I need to make on of these, although I will probably do it on a regular machine. Love the hardware, can I get that at Joanns?

I get my hardware on ebay or etsy, Etsy has some mini's that are 1 inch wide and rounded on one side. The others are 1.25 inch. You can also get the webbing there
Crafters vision is another place to order

I know you can get key fob hardware on Amazon also. This design was very easy ITH. Takes me about 6 minutes or less to stitch out and about twice that to turn it right side out - lol!!

It is the turning that turns me off! I really want that do dad that Nancy or the quilt lady has.

The webbing is like stiff interfacing right?
by bevintex 29 Apr 2014
if you don't want to use fabric you can make them out of webbing,look on the crafters vision link for more info. You can personalize them with names

I use a chopstick to turn something like this - just the thing!! If you make it on your regular sewing machine - you could use webbing (like what is used for a narrow handle on a kits duffel bag).

The material? The fabric I used (the top) was part of a jelly roll - of greys and blacks. The polka dot was from a fat quarter bundle. It would be pretty in purple!!
