Never lose a key again. D-I-Y Project

Have you seen those cute little furry key chains linked to purses? Adding a little flare to basic handbags. Maybe you seen it hooked to key chains because we all know how easy it is to lose a key. Well I have the perfect  D-I-Y project for you.



Things you'll need

  1. A fluffy boa the color of your choice.
  2. A chain from a necklace. Or you can buy a plain chain from hobby lobby or select Walmarts.
  3. A key chain clasp from hobby lobby (or just use the side of a necklace with a wide clasp).
  4. Pearl head clothing pins.
  5. Glue. (Hot glue gun, gorilla glue, or E6000)
  6. Styrofoam ball of your desired size.
  7. Scissors.
  8. Jewelry pliers(for linking chains/clasp together).

How to:
  1. If you didn't use a necklace connect the clasp and chain together. 
  2. Stick the clothes pin through the last chain link.(Not the side with clasp) 
  3. If your ball has a tiny opening place glue into the space and proceed to stick the pin with chain attached into the Styrofoam ball.
  4. Glue method make a glue trail around the ball stopping to lay boa in place.
  5. Pin method lay boa on ball pinning every inch until the ball is covered.
