Pom Pom Key Chain Tutorial
Key chains are a fun way to add a personal touch to your keys or bag. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a cute pom pom key chain in just a few simple steps.
What you'll need:
Pom-poms of your colour, choice, amount
Key chain ring
Scissors
Darning (big) needle
Glue (i used fabric glue)
Extra wool strands (about 30cms long)
Step 1: Attach the Key Chain Ring
Thread a few pieces of yarn through the key chain ring. How many depends on how many pom-poms you want to attach. For example if you want to attach 6 pom-poms you'll need 3 strands of wool.
Plait the wool for a few centimetres to secure it to the key ring, then wrap some wool around the bottom of the plait and secure it in place with some glue.
Step 2:
Once glue is dry, we can start attaching the pom-poms. Choose one of the strands of wool attached to the keychain, and thread it through the needle. this can be tough considering the thickness of the wool strand - but make sure to trim the end and press it down in between your fingers to make it as flat as possible.
Carefully open the pom-pom to find the string holding it together. Thread the needle under and through the string to secure it to the pom-pom.
Tie in a double knot and glue in place.
Continue with the rest of the pom-poms in the position you like.
Step 3: Finishing Touches
Fluff up the pom-poms and trim any stray strands to make it look neat.
I added a tassel to the end of mine, and glued it in place, to ensure it is very secure.
There you have it! A simple and adorable pom pom key chain that you can make in no time. Get creative with different yarn colors and sizes to make a variety of key chains to suit your style.
