We are always looking for every holiday, than to please ourselves and our loved ones. And a very original and relatively inexpensive gift will be a keychain made by own hands.
From what you can make a key chain yourself? Such a keychain can be made of such materials as: leather, polymer clay, satin ribbons, chain with beads, buttons, metal and, of course, beads .
Let's consider several master-classes on making keyrings.
How to make a charm with satin ribbons?
- It is necessary to take two thin ribbons 2 m long and fold them in half.
- We twist them as shown in the picture. In order not to be confused, we number the tapes.
- Tape 3 up.
- We put tape 1 on top of tape 3 and draw it into the loop formed between tapes 3 and 4. Tighten and get a square. To get a keychain round company, you need to tighten more tightly.
- The view from the back should be like that.
- Lower the tape3 (which is the top) down.
- Tape 2 (left) to the right, and then tape 4 (bottom) - upward.
- We put tape 1 in the loop, which was formed by tape 3 when lowering.
- And again tighten. We continue to weave as well, until we get here such a keychain that we tie the remaining ribbons to the ring.
How to make a keychain from polymer clay own hands?
It will take:
- brown, yellow, light green polymer clay;
- toothpick;
- cord for a keyring and studs with a loop at the end;
- Super glue.
Stages of work:
- Cut off a piece of brown clay and roll out of it two identical balls.
- One ball is flattened more, the other is weaker, so that it looks like the top half of a bun.
- We make yellow and green beads. From the yellow cut out a square (it will be cheese), and from the salad we will sculpt a thin leaf of lettuce.
- We put cheese on the bottom half of a bun, on top of a lettuce leaf and cover everything with an upper bun.
- We make small indentations in it and put in them a fine crumb of yellow clay (sesame).
- We make a hole in the middle of the cheeseburger, bake it at the right temperature according to the instructions.
- In the hole we insert the carnation, fill it with glue, attach the cord for the key fob. The cheeseburger is ready!
How to make a key chain from the skin with your own hands?
It will take:
- leather;
- glue for the skin;
- key ring.
Stages of work:
- Cut out of the skin a piece of rectangular shape and, having retreated 2 cm from the top edge, we draw a straight line.
- From the bottom to the drawn line, cut the bottom part into strips.
- Cut another piece of skin 2 cm wide, spread it with glue from the wrong side and fold it twice, iron it to glue well.
- We pass this strap into the key ring and glue its ends together.
- The upper part of the leather with fringe is smeared with glue and apply the strap on the ring, as shown in the picture.
- Skin with fringe twist around the strap on the ring and hold, until it glues well.
- Bright key chain made of leather is ready.
Gifts made by own hands are always interesting and give pleasure not only to the recipient, but also to the donor.
