I've always loved cute and quirky key covers, so I thought I would make a set of my own!

Instructions

  1. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 162946 img 3133

    Gather all your items together. Once you open the sugru packet, you only have 30min to sculpt it, so make sure you have an idea in your head before you start.

  2. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 163058 img 3147

    Cover the top part of your key with sugru.

  3. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 163129 img 3145

    Poke through the hole on your key. You can use a straight pin, exacto knife, or anything else sharp.

    Add little cat ears to the top of the key. I did this by forming little triangles, and then smoothing them in to the surface at the top of the key.

  5. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 163346 img 3148

    Make a little heart (or whatever shape you desire) out of the other colour and place it in the middle of the key. Make sure to press down a bit so that the sugru bonds, but not too hard that it ruins the shape of the heart.

  6. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 163501 img 3150

    Take a pin or knife and carve little whiskers next to the heart.

  7. Small 109260 2f2015 06 09 163538 img 3149

    Let sit for 24hours. It will harden into a rubber. Be careful what you set it on, sugru bonds to most surfaces. I set my keys on the sugru packets, then peeled them off when it was dry.

    Add to your keyring and enjoy all the cuteness!
