Starting and Ending Keychains | Nini Knots

Hey guys! In this video, I teach you how to start alpha pattern keychains, and two ways you can finish them! I also give a fun trick on how to make a fluffier tassel! I’m very sorry that my clipboard was wobbling a little in some shots and that the angle changes, I didn’t realize this until I started editing, but I’m definitely taking notes for the future! :)
I really hope this tutorial is helpful, let me know in the comments if you used this to make your own keychain, or any other thoughts you have! Feel free to also comment any future video suggestions!

That means a lot, thank you so much!

[@emmaj6623]

Thank you so much for the video! I finally found the perfect way to end my key chains

[@wenyanzou1603]

I love this video! One question: How do you do the ending (the one on the snoopy keychain) with and uneven amount of strings?

[@niniknots8885]

Thank you for watching! And the Snoopy pattern had 14 base strings, so I split them evenly in half with 7 on each side!☺️ For patterns with uneven base strings, I just let one side have one more string than the other. It is uneven but it’s very unnoticeable in the finish! Hope that helped!

Hallo Nini! Nice To See You On This Video 😊❤

[@ttariq5]

Omg your video was amazing, loved it. I don’t really like fast time lapses because I need something more in depth as I’m a beginner. I was wondering if you could make a video doing it from start to finish? ❤️

[@niniknots8885]

ttariq5 Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you liked it! And that’s a good idea! I’ll definitely consider doing that, thanks for the suggestion!☺️💞

How are your bracelets/keychains so straight? They are so cute. Btw, im first😂

[@niniknots8885]

Haha thank you for your comment! It really just takes lots of practice and even knot tension!💞

[@gamerk3937]

On the edges I do back-forward or forward-backwards to keep the sides straighter!

[@keirahaddow2549]

Hii, i’m a beginner so i don’t know what to do with the strings on the sides (the ones of starting a colour) Other than that this was super helpful thank you!!

Hi there, great tutorial, thank you! I was wondering how you added the felt to the back? Is it okay to iron felt onto the embroidery floss?

[@niniknots8885]

Hi! I'm not sure ironing felt onto floss would work, but I used fabric glue from Hobby Lobby! :)

[@airamaerodriguez8390]

In next video , can you do the name keychain using that method pleaseeeee

[@sina2133]

Thank youuu⭐👌🏽

[@imanel-bawab6406]

do the base strings show in the first method? i'm a beginner so my base strings are a different color so I don't get confused and want to try and hide them except for the tassel

[@nfade9462]

What do you do with the working string hanging off the side at the top left once you’re finished?

[@niniknots8885]

I tuck it behind the pattern and cover it when I glue on the felt back! :) Hopefully that made sense!

[@Jasmine-qg8kj]

what kind of white thread were you using for the base strings? (brand)

[@niniknots8885]

Jasmine They were J and P Coats! :)

[@Jasmine-qg8kj]

@@niniknots8885 ok thanks!

[@user-yj4bb5ux3r]

How the keychain example does not come out to you twisted, to me it comes out really twisted and I make the same knots as you!

[@niniknots8885]

It does take a lot of practice to get knots even and straight-looking, I’m sure you’ll get it!

[@ikizagirl]

Any idea how to end the bracelet with a keychain hook? Meaning i want both ends to have hooks on them

[@Hxya971]

Do you keep the leading string at the end or what?

[@charlisoftie6896]

Where do i get this key chain? WHat do i have to serch to find it

[@niniknots8885]

You can search “D-Ring Swivel Keychain Hooks”, the link to the ones I bought is in the description too!☺️

[@nullsnaggle5198]

Question what size of d clip do you suggest for 8 base strings?

[@frei8194]

can i do this with one of those round key rings?

[@magdelinechin5491]

Just found your video. Very informative. May i know the size of cord and type. Tks

[@mhv7006]

Which thread are you using

[@SKAORIH]

What type of yarn do you use?

[@vtheb1299]

hi! nice video but it would be so helpful if you included metric measurements too. I can't follow any of your numbers...

[@lorenakiew8847]

What brand of strings are you using and where did you get them?

[@niniknots8885]

I'm using DMC floss! I usually get my floss from Hobby Lobby or Walmart! :)

[@anahio8643]

where do you get your strings from? :-)

[@detectivesanto2953]

Can you use yarn to do this ???

[@athzirys5185]

am i the only one who can’t wrap it around at the end?

[@niniknots8885]

Athziry Sanchez That part can be a little tricky! Definitely takes some time, maybe have a second person hold the keychain and help you wrap it around?
