It's Monday Mix-Up Madness again. Have we got a mad mix-up for you!!!

100** Key Fob Hardware with Split Ring

You are purchasing 100 30mm Key Fob Hardware with 25mm Split Ring, we received miss-sized product from our manufacturer and are selling it at a major discount. The Key Fob Hardware as pictured is slightly smaller than that used for 1.25" cotton webbing. It can be made to work but it is a tight fit. It can be used with 1.25" cotton webbing if done right or easily with fabric wristlet.

**Please note this hardware is 30mm (1.18") instead of 32mm (1.25") and you may need to do a little adjusting, but will turn out great.

How to make a Fabric Key Fob Hardware Wristlet Tutorial

Supplies:

Pair of scissors
Sewing Machine
Iron
Pliers (duck taped ends)

10"x1.25" Fabric strip (of your choosing)
Coordinating color thread
1.25" cotton webbing (depending on Key Fob Hardware Size)
Heat N Bond or Fusible Tape
Key Fob Hardware set (1.25")

Instructions for 1.25" Key Fob Hardware (adjust accordingly if using 1" Hardware):

1)  Cut a 10" section of Cotton Webbing and Fabric strip, create a 10"x1.25" strip of Fabric and a 10"x0.75" strip of Heat N Bond.

2)  Center and Iron Heat N Bond to wrong side of Fabric strip.

3)  Remove backing and on each side fold 1/4" seam over and iron.

 4)  Turn finished Fabric Strip right side up and iron to Cotton Webbing making sure to center it.

5)  Stitch along the edge of your Fabric strip, securing the edge onto the webbing.  Work slowly, keeping close to the edge.  Go the whole length and around the ends of the fabric strip for added stability.

6)  Fold the Cotton Webbing in half, right sides facing out and match up the ends.  Stitch the ends together with a 1/4" seam allowance.  Trim any loose threads.

7)  Tuck the sewn seam ends into the Key Fob Hardware, making sure that the Cotton Webbing is in there evenly and not hanging out one end or the other.

8)  Using your pliers wrapped in duct tape or a scrap of fabric to protect the metal from getting scratched, squeeze the Key Fob Hardware closed a little at a time.  I like to go back and forth a couple times so that I don't over crimp one side too much.

9)  Add the Key Ring and Yay!!! You are done.  Good Job!!!

How to make a Ribbon Key Fob Hardware Wristlet Tutorial

Supplies:

Pair of scissors
Sewing Machine
Iron
Pliers (duck taped ends)

Ribbon (make sure it's narrower than the Cotton Webbing)
Coordinating color thread
1.25" cotton webbing
Heat N Bond or Fusible Tape
Key Fob Hardware set (1.25")

Instructions for 1.25" Key Fob Hardware (adjust accordingly if using 1" Hardware):

1)  Cut a 10" section of Cotton Webbing and Ribbon of your choosing.

 

2)  Iron Heat N Bond (10" by thinner than ribbon) to Cotton Webbing making sure to center it, this is not a necessary step but it makes it easier to sew the Ribbon on especially with embroidered ribbon.

3)  Iron the Ribbon to the Cotton Webbing.

4)  Now sew up one side of the Ribbon and down the other.  The Ribbon is attached securely to the Cotton Webbing now.  Trim the edges so that they are even.

5)  Fold the Cotton Webbing in half, right sides facing out and match up the ends.  Stitch the ends together with a 1/4" seam allowance.  Trim any loose threads.

 

7)  Tuck the sewn seam ends into the Key Fob Hardware, making sure that the Cotton Webbing is in there evenly and not hanging out one end or the other.

8)  Using your Pliers wrapped in duct tape or a scrap of fabric to protect the metal from getting scratched, squeeze the Key Fob Hardware closed a little at a time.  I like to go back and forth a couple times so that I don't over crimp one side too much.

 

9)  Add the Key Ring and Yay!!! You are done.  Good Job!!!
