Spool Keychain

After spending my first week of break wandering aimless through craft stores...I started buying things just because they were on clearance...even if I didn't have a craft for them. My first purchase was a little bag of wooden spools. After getting them home, I came up with this

A cute little spool key chain! Its just as simple as it looks! Grab a bag of these- they come in different sizes...I got the one that was on clearance at the time.


Then get your materials and your hot glue gun


I used bakers twine for my string, and hot glued the end, and wrapped it around, securing it with hot glue as I went.


Then I hot glued the end of the string up- I thought it looked cuter that way!



I could have screwed the eyelet screw into the spool, but my hook was a bit wide for such a small spool. I went ahead and just filled the middle with hot glue, and simply hot glued it in place! Add the keyring and you're done!

Here from Sugar Bee Crafts! So cute! These look like they would make great charms as well

Very cute, I think every crafter should have one to use as their emblem either as a key chain or a charm like Lani suggested.

These are so sweet. And I love that you used baker's twine. Would be cute charms on a bracelet or necklace, too!
