Instructions

  1. Small dscf1288

    This keyring is thought to contain the key (when you can't loop a ring around it cause it's broken or something) so the first thing you need to do is some measuring. Create a rectangular pattern (mine is 11x16 cm) and draw a straight line in the middle, wide a little more than 1cm (or wider, it depends on the zipper you're going to use). Make sure to leave a couple of cm at the edges.

  2. Small dscf1290

    Now, using your pattern, cut two pieces of felt.

  3. Small dscf1291

    I had to shorten the zipper a bit before sew it in place, cutting the excess.

  4. Small dscf1296

    I sew few stiches to replace the bottom stop.

  5. Small dscf1297

    You can place the zipper now. Lay one piece of felt (right side down) on your working table and place the zipper on it, then place the other piece on top (right side up), so that you can see the zippen showing in the opening.

  6. Small dscf1300

    Pin the zipper at its ends and sew all along the opening. Make sure to poke the needle through the front piece of felt, the zipper and the inner piece.

  7. Small dscf1301

    Draw a key now! I googled for some inspiration..

  8. Small dscf1307

    Embroider a smiley mouth and two eyes with black thread and adjust a bit the silhouette, if needed. I also added blushing cheeks with make up.

  9. Small dscf1313

    Place the key on the front piece of felt and sew it in place (sew through just the front piece).

  10. Small dscf1315

    The key looked a bit lonely, so I decided to add some little spirals. I drew them of the wrong side of the front piece to have a guide while sewing..

  11. Small dscf1318

    ..then I took colorful threads and embriodered them all around the key.

  12. Small dscf1319

    To finish fold your pouch in half and close it sewing all around it (make sure to sew all the 4 layers) with a blanket stitch.

  13. Small dscf1320

    Put a ring in the pull tab.

  14. Small dscf1326

    And you're all done.
