Keys are easily lost in a purse, and a big red tassel is a stylish way to make them stand out. I added a picture pendant of my daughter to the key chain. You can customize it with your own photo.
Show off your sporty pride with this fun keychain The added pendant allows you to customize this look with a photo of someone you love participating in sports, or any favorite photo you may want to add. The suede tassel ensures you'll stay stylish and never lose your keys. Make this keychain for mom and make one for yourself for a matching gift set
Wrap the ultra micro fiber suede in red around a card. We used a card that was approximately six inches long and the suede wrapped around it 18 times. Cut the cord on one end of the card so you have 18 strips of suede. Bundle the strips of suede together at the fold. Slide the suede through the two sterling silver heavy closed jump rings and make sure they are at the top of the fold.
Wrap the bundle together with bead cord to create your tassel. Make sure to leave a tail of bead cord when you start wrapping, so it's easier to knot at the end. Start wrapping approximately 1/2 an inch away from the fold. Wrap the bundle enough times to ensure it is secure and then knot your beading cord toward the center of the bundle so the knot isn't visible. Cut the ends of the suede so that the ends are all the same length.
Cut two lengths of the silver-plated medium rollo chain. One should be five links long and one should be 12 links long. Attach the crystal cal and jet crystal soccer ball charm to the shorter chain using a 925/10 silver-filled 6mm open jump ring. Attach the picture pendant you created in step one to the longer chain using an open jump ring. Attach the ends of these two chains to one open jump ring and add it to the closed jump rings at the top of your tassel.
Attach a 27mm nickel plated split ring to the two closed jump rings at the top of the tassel and your keychain is complete
