We are super excited to have in stock this brilliant key fob hardware! We have quick and super simple tutorials. These are TWO WAYS to make a 5-minute wristlet key fob. These gorgeous stylish key fobs are AMAZING scrap busters!
We have a great selection of key fob hardware to choose from in ALL the colours! We’ve also got a brilliant bundle for you where you grab a pair of pliers and 12 assorted key fobs at a discount!
We show you how to make these key fobs in two ways:
- With interfacing in the middle
- With waist shaper
If you have scraps of waist shaper left from your dressmaking projects this is a perfect way to use them up! The waist shaper key fob is a little firmer than the interfacing, however if you have lots of scraps and fancy a bit of franken-piecing… you can iron all of the scraps of interfacing together!
