How to Make a Leather Key Fob

Let’s be honest. DIY is not always the cheapest. Sometimes (read: lots of times), it will cost you more to make something than it will to just buy it. Today’s project though…today’s project is NOT one of those times. This project will actually cost you LESS than the store bought version! That’s because we are crafting with leather – and it turns out that you can buy a sheet of leather for not much. $3.99 to be exact! Join me for a quick tutorial on how you can make a leather key fob using a piece of leather and a few crafty tools.

And if you love this quick tutorial, you should probably head over to CreativeBug where my newest class will give you even MORE tips on how to make a leather key fob! In the class you’ll learn how to add a monogram to your keychain and you’ll get an up close view of how I like to stitch the leather together!

STEP THREE: 

Use a needle and embroidery floss to sew in and out of the holes. This is a great time to add a fun contrasting color to your key fob! Once you’ve stitched all the way around, go back and stitch in the other direction! When you’ve come back to your starting point, tie off the embroidery floss and trim off any excess. Last, you’ll just need to thread on a keyring!

    Your key fob is really adorable, and I bet getting leather or needlework keychains would look great with it. My sister and I love the crafted aesthetic, so we’re looking at ways to bling up our purses with some. We’ll be sure to consider trying our hand at making some, for sure, though we may end up buying keychains, as you said that can be cheaper.

    Chronic sinusitis is a disease that can affect your nose, throat and the area around your eyes. It’s caused by a blockage in one or more of your sinuses. Sinusitis makes you feel as though you have a head cold or flu-like symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue and fever. Additionally, Chronic Sinusitis Treatment Tacoma WA can also affect other regions of the body, causing pain and stiffness in the joints, neck and shoulders.
