This tutorial is the way I like to make key fobs! It is most definitely not the only way, but people seem to like them so I just keep making them! Please feel free to share this tutorial with your friends…I really appreciate the visitors here!
These are such a quick sew and make the cutest gift…especially when you give it with a car trash bag! If you haven’t made a trash bag yet, check out that blog post! Here are the items you need:
- 5″ x 10″-12″ fabric (length is personal preference)
- interfacing the same size as your fabric
- 1.25″ key fob hardware
Start by ironing your interfacing onto your fabric.
Fold the fabric in half and press to make a crease down the center. Open it back up and fold each side into the center.
I drew a line down the center so you could see it, I don’t usually do that! 
Fold the entire thing in half, making sure to line up the edges. Topstitch down the open side first then the closed side.
Now it’s time to attach the hardware! Start by trimming each end, remove any interfacing peeking out and straighten it up.
Fold it in half~I like to use a clip to hold it while I work!
I have these pliers that work perfectly for key fob hardwarehttps://ilikebigbuttons.com/collections/key-fob-hardware-tool/products/key-fob-hardware-pliers. However, you can use regular pliers too…just use a thin cloth so you don’t leave any grooves in the metal when you clamp! Give it a gentle clamp first, that way you can make sure it’s straight, then clamp it all the way down. Your key fob is done!!! Wasn’t that an easy project?!?!
Now let’s talk about the adorable fabric I used! This was a preorder fabric that I was asked to sew up for promotion and it is from LMB Fabric and Notions https://lmblilymboutique.bigcartel.com/products. The good news about this is that the preorder has started rolling in…which means that retail will be available soon!!! You can join the Facebook group to find out when products will be available! https://www.facebook.com/groups/158658384765426/
~Happy Sewing~
