Wristlets, Key Chains & Fobs

Wristlets, Key Chains and Key Fobs, Oh My! Now these little cuties couldn't be easier to put together and what a nice little gift these make. Here's what you need to get started: Ribbon or decorative fabric; Nylon Webbing (I used both 1" wide & 1.25" wide); Heat n Bond UltraHold; Key Fob Hardware (I purchased mine on Etsy - I used both 1" wide and 1.25" hardware); a Ruler; and a Scissors.
And viola' - an instant gift!




I made 2 different sizes: the larger is a wristlet, the smaller is a "regular" key chain.
