Key chains

It is simple to make and all you need to have are alphabet beads, strings, and split rings.

Directions:

  • Cut a piece of string about 12 inches long.  Fold the string in half and wrap the doubled string around the split ring. Then bring it back around and put it through the string loop.
  • Pull the string tight so it wraps tight around the split ring.
  • String the beads on with words like, “best dad” or “I love dad” or “Daddy’s Keys.”
  • Tie the end of in a double knot, and snip off any extra string.
