How to make a wristlet key fob ring

Hey y'all and welcome to Sewspire!
Today I am here with our final sewing tutorial for 2017 in which I will show you how to make a wristlet key fob.
When I owned my brick and mortar boutique this style of key fob was one of my very best sellers. Everyone loves these and therefore they are the ultimate gift!
To make one fob you will need a piece of quilt weight cotton fabric that measures 4" x 12" and a like size piece of iron on Pellon interfacing. Plus, the key fob hardware set which you can find for sale at Joanne.com
www.joann.com/k...
I hope you enjoy the project and all of your handmade holiday gifts are well received! I will be back next week with a round up video to closeout our year as well as to provide more details about my vision for the channel in 2018.
Until then, please know the creative genius in me, celebrates the creative genius in you!
XO,
Andrea

Thanks for this tutorial! I've got SO much fabric I haven't touched in a while and am looking forward to trying this.

[@sarahuddleston6798]

Something that would be nice if you could put all the stuff that you’re using in the description box and where we can get it from thank you

[@KidOfMischief]

Thank you for the tutorial! I wasn't sure if I needed to add webbing/belting on the inside or if that would be too thick- the interfacing makes much more sense! I can't wait to make some for my friends!

[@jenniferjasso1279]

Nice work! Love these.. FYI I got the pliers and 42 key fobs for 16 dollars on Amazon.. Good deal for anyone looking to buy and make key fobs

[@rmcrms5]

These are fabulous! I ordered the tools on Amazon and made 12 key fobs tonight.

[@Sewspire]

Wow! That is impressive! Can you share the link for the Amazon pliers?

[@Sewspire]

Awesome! Thank you for posting!

thank you for the video, now I have Birthday and Christmas idea's...I want to take it one step further though, 'Before' crimping it together, I want to cut out their name in vinyl and iron it on the key fob...The gift card idea is great also...Thanks again...

[@TruthSeekerNC]

Thank you for this tutorial. I LOVE these type of key fobs. Now I just need some supplies! Merry Christmas Andrea!

[@Sewspire]

Me too Wanda! Merry Christmas to you!

[@pamketron]

I love these Andrea. I made some of these last summer for gifts. I did quilt down the entire strip before attaching the hardware on some of them. This gave some a different look. These make awesome gifts and I like your idea of attaching a gift card. Will be doing that for some of my gift cards! Thanks for the great idea. I have enjoyed these quick gift projects. Thanks for all you do! 🎄❤️Merry Christmas💚🎄 ✂️❌⭕️Pam

[@Sewspire]

Quilting would add a very nice touch to these. Great idea Pam. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas to you too! XO, Andrea

Love these! Do you mind sharing which Pellon Interfacing you buy? There are so many choices and I don't want to purchase the wrong item. Thanks so much!

[@Sewspire]

The 808 / 809 or Peltex 70 are ideal!

[@odelia5959]

Are you sewing a 1/4” stitch on both side?

[@Sew_What]

Hi there, Would using a bullet textured type material be suitable for these?

[@LizDavis2009]

Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for all of your videos, they are so much fun!! I made the Crossbody Messenger Tote Bag a couple of months ago out of some left over camo material I had. I added a couple of inside and one outside pocket. It has turned out to be my favorite go to bag! I was wondering if you could tell me what the pliers are that you used to attach the hardware on these. I can't seem to find them. Thanks and I look forward to more of your videos next year!!!

[@Sewspire]

You are welcome Liz! It has been my pleasure to share the tutorials and I am so happy you have enjoyed your messenger bag.

I want to make some of these as stocking stuffers. Should I worry about the hardware pulling off the material?

Clamp it down good and you will be fine!

[@mimig5269]

Hello What kind of pellon did you use please?

[@Sewspire]

Pellon 70 is perfect!

[@sophibeaty1444]

How do you get the key fob to stay on properly? Mine keeps slipping off the fabric and even used big sturdy pliers.

[@Sewspire]

It may be that your material is not thick enough for the prongs to get a good "bite". Try a thicker interfacing.

[@chriss9781]

Do you ever have an issue with the fabric pulling out from the hardware?

[@Sewspire]

Yup! I made an updated tutorial that helps with that.

[@cherrymalibu9322]

Thank you. :)

[@sarahuddleston6798]

Where can I find the pellon interfacing

[@Sewspire]

Walmart is my choice shop!

[@amandaknighton2229]

Hello! How would I make this with a different fabric on the inside?

[@Sewspire]

I would sandwich two pieces of material together with both long ends folded inward.

[@marysid59]

Can the key fob hardware be applied without the pliers

[@Sewspire]

Not what you might expect; but, the easiest way I found to apply it without pliers is to step on it with my shoe. Obviously put some paper between your shoe, the fabric and the floor to avoid dirtying the material.

[@LOVESTOWRITEKID24]

did u backstich at all??

[@Sewspire]

Always!

[@crystallikeice1416]

What kind of pellon interfacing did you use exactly? There is a lot to choose from!

Pellon 808 🙏

What size keyfob do I need? 1" or 1.25"?

[@Sewspire]

1"

[@janewolfe890]

what do you have wrapped around your pliers

[@Sewspire]

I bought those like that. They are designed to install the fob hardware. You can find them on amazon.

[@janewolfe890]

Sewspire oh ok the ones that I bought from Amazon in a kit for installing fob hardware are just plan metal but thanks

[@lpntexas]

what kind of pellon interfacing ? Is it the peltex 71 ?

[@Sewspire]

So sorry I don't know Laura. It was very firm. Next time I am in Walmart I will make a note of the type.

[@Grave_Hunter_of_Aus]

Sewspire hey have you got the name of it yet? Hoping I can find it in Australia 🇦🇺

[@donnahustedde6442]

Andrea. Love these. Could you tell me what number Pellon interfacing you used?

[@Sewspire]

I like the 809 Donna.

[@donnahustedde6442]

Thank you! Love your videos!

[@terrilivingstone2224]

Did you use lightweight or medium weight interfacing?

Either is fine 😊

[@brenn4063]

Pellon 70 works great!

You are welcome! A 90/14 is my preference.

[@dalittsabary-berti6944]

I like the Pellon 808 and 809 for the fobs.

[@dalittsabary-berti6944]

@@Sewspire Thank you!!!

[@lindamattson6281]

Love your tutorials. What weight of Pellon did you use for these?

[@Sewspire]

The mid weight fusible Pellon works great!

[@martharuiz4538]

What type of interfacing did you use?

[@Sewspire]

Pellon 808/809 or Peltex 70 is optimal for this project.

[@briannapowell526]

what do you use the interfacing for

[@Sewspire]

To add stability to the hardware.

[@normajean8105]

Thank you for the Video, I made a few of these using your directions, but can you tell us the name of those pliers Joann's does not carry them thank you

[@Sewspire]

I bought those on Etsy in a kit. Search key fob kit pliers on Etsy and you should find them.

[@JamieProcarione]

Does anyone know where I can buy the already made key fobs wholesale?

[@Sewspire]

Etsy or Amazon

[@Grave_Hunter_of_Aus]

Hey. Did you use the interfacing on the whole side or just the middle strip?

[@Sewspire]

You can interface the whole side or up the middle depending upon how stiff you would like it. The Pellon 809 works well for whole interfacing.

[@dorisosborne132]

Which type Pellon did you use.?

[@Sewspire]

I believe it is 809. The stiffer version would be nice too! 70 I believe.

[@dorisosborne9981]

Sewspire Thank you. I love your tutorials. I learn so much from you.

[@nanettehuse8213]

The Pliers that you’re using where can I get them and what exactly are they called

[@Sewspire]

I got mine on Etsy. Annies Attic I believe. Not sure of the exact name of the tool though. So sorry.

[@nanettehuse8213]

Thank you

I do wish I knew the exact name of those pliers 😭
