The "key" to life today, is celebrating. Hubby and I are celebrating our anniversary by just enjoying a quiet day.
Awww, so sweet HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both! I’m sorry I’m a bit late in replying, but I hope you two enjoyed yesterday! 💕💕💕
I have been making these for years. So much fun. For my female friends who jog or walk alone, I also added a referee's whistle...just in case they found themselves in a precarious situation...
I Got A Key That will look nice on there. An I can find my key easier with my key on there. They are both very nice. Was great to get to watch this morning.
Good morning, Cathy! Yes, they make it much easier to find keys inside my purse. I know exactly what you mean!
Watching again!😊
Hi Marie... we are getting spoiled today. Thanks for this great tutorial. Have a great day and sending hugs... see you later
Good morning Ginette! Well I’m glad you feel spoiled, I have to share the love with all of you! Sending hugs, dear lady!
Very cute! I think I will make one in purple for my niece in Florida.
Good morning Kathy! Oh, you’re using my new favorite color! I’m sure she’ll love it! Have fun sewing!
Love the nails beautiful color.
Thank you! ♥️
One key to life is caring for others. Marie, you must have an excessively large & heavy key. 💕
YOU are just so very SWEET! Hugs to you!
Greetings Marie from Melbourne Australia. Lots of key fobs coming up. Thank you for making it look so easy.
Good morning Margaret! Well, I guess it’s evening where you are, ha ha. I’m glad you like the key fob idea. Happy sewing!
A KEY fob is a great way to use up scraps.
It certainly is, SIL!
Have a good day
You too!
Good Morning Sister In Law. So Nice To See You.
I like it with the wording on the outside thats nice. Both ways are pretty thou. Both of them are very nice.
Thanks!
These key fobs are so cute. I think my Grandkids may like these. Thanks and have a great day.
You’re very welcome, Janet! I bet your grandkids will love them, I’ve made some for our grandkids, too!
What a great, fast and easy key fob project. Thanks
Good morning Lucy! Yes, they’re definitely quick and easy. I can’t think of an easier gift that people actually use. In my book, it’s a definite “win”.
The key to happiness is using your scraps 🇦🇺🖐💜
That is absolutely the key to my happiness! I love it, Anita!
Thank you taking your time so I could understand. ❤
Glad it was helpful! I hope you have a lot of fun making these. They’re a fun and quick project, and I have made so many over the past few years. I want to get them out and people seem to love to receive them. Happy sewing!
I have the hardware for both types of key fobs. I should make a bunch for the this years church craft fair. They would work up fast.
Good morning Richard! Yes, that would be a great thing for your churches craft fair! I’m sure you could whip them up in no time, with all your sewing experience. Have fun!
Beautiful fabric for key fob.
Thank you Sylvia!
These are excellent I do have to hold my hands up and say I did run with your idea the day you showed the key fobs for your craft fair 😉so my challenge for today is to piece together my tinyest scraps to make one for myself Yeah!!! huge hugs and loves 😃
Good morning Jo! I figured that you would use the tiny scraps. It’s funny, because when I pieced my three squares together, I thought of all my little crumbs and how pretty they would look and you came to mind. It’s almost like I KNEW what you would use before I even put the video out there. Enjoy the rest of your day!
I love that 😘 haha well it was a challenge I'm not going to lie as I folded it in, those hundreds of seams bulked out so almost scorched my fingers (this is where those clips came in lol) I will do a couple more though because I loved the look 💖💕💖
@@111shoge Ouch! I scorched my fingers with steam a few days ago trying to get really close when I was making a lanyard. I suppose that the scrappy key fobs would be a project that need a lot of steam and a good hot iron.
Such a great quick project. As you say great for those little gifts. Watching you sew is a pleasure and I always find a useful tip.....tweezers....why didn't I think of that...a great little tool. Thanks Marie!
Hi Daphne! At first I almost didn’t make a video about them, since I knew it wouldn’t be a long video. But then, I figured that a lot of people might find it useful. There are so many different ways to make key fobs, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring and show everyone the two methods that I use. As far as tweezers go, I starting using them years ago because unless I get acrylic nails (which
I do now), I don’t have any fingernails with which to grab the thread. I also struggle with severe dry skin, so that even if I am able to grab the thread, it catches on the dry skin of my fingertips and unthreads the machine. The tweezers are great because I can fit them in around the small spaces of the sewing machine and they work as my fingertips. I love them!
@@MariesScrappyCreations On the list. Tweezers!
✅️📝 I bet you'll love using them! In fact, the more I use them, the more I realize how handy they really are.
I’ve recently decided to make some key fobs, and whodathunk you post your tutorial
??!!!?!! 😝❤️😀
Good morning Rachel! Isn’t that funny how that works out? I used to tell Robin (rsislandcrafts) the same thing. I would be making some thing and boom, then she would have a video for it. I told her she must be psychic, ha ha.
love the key chains , great video
Thank you Linda, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I was given a key fob by a quilt friend and I love it.
Key fobs I would never have thought of for scraps. Cute idea.
Thank you! Yes, I love that they make such a useful item out of such a small
piece of leftover fabric and cotton batting!
Thank you for your great video and explaining it so nicely, i will definitely make them.🙋🏼♀️❤️
You’re welcome 😊 I'm happy you enjoyed my video. I hope you enjoy sewing some! Thank you for your comment!
Made one with you today! I love it!
That's great!!!
I love these key fobs!! I can make up a ton of these and give them out for the holidays. Thanks for sharing!!
You’re very welcome, Laura! Yes, they could be made up very quickly. They take such little fabric, so they’re a great scrap buster. Happy sewing!
I’m going to make one for my car key. Looks amazing
I hope you have fun!🧵🪡💕
I do like the key fob holders. They are quick and easy. I have the hardware so I'm going to make up some. I enjoy learning new things! I still have to get some tweezers for the sewing room, I forgot about that. It's a wonderfully helpful tip. ☺️ Thank you for sharing it with us and have a great week!
Hi Amanda! Yes, quick and easy. Well, it sounds like you’re all set to go if you have all the hardware. Yay!! I’m sure you have scraps, ha ha! Yes, tweezers are a lifesaver in the sewing room, imo. When I bought new ones for the first aid kit, I took the old ones into my sewing room. I always try to have them in a first aid kit for splinter removal, or whatever.
I've seen that little bit of dimension lost in the fold called 'turn of cloth: TOC.' KEY. Turn key. Skeleton key. Piano key. Keyword. Donkey!
Good morning Sarah! Turn of cloth, that is perfect and I can see why they call it that. Thank you for the lesson, as I had never heard of it, although I knew it had to be a “thing”. I love your word games, perfection!
Hi Marie - Thank you for the key fob tutorial! Quick and easy little gift idea. Will make a great stocking stuffer. I have have a few "suprise me" gifts to make to. These might be perfect! You have a great week!
Good morning Marie! You’re very welcome. I’m glad I was able to help you out. I agree, they would make a great stocking stuffer, too! I hope you have fun sewing this week.

I love your KEY fobs.Such a useful project. Thank You so much
Hi and thanks so much for watching and for commenting. I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful!
Great videos. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you enjoy my videos! Have a great day and happy sewing.🧵🪡
Great tutorial Marie thank you for showing the key fobs ❤
You’re welcome Gisela! Hope you’re doing well and thank you so much for watching!
Love your tutorials Marie! Thanks for another cute gift idea!
You are so welcome! I'm glad you liked this video!
Love the key fob and your red polish.😊
Thank you Donna! My nails are a really dark pink, but they certainly look red on camera. My nails got trimmed a little too short this time, but oh well, they’ll grow. Have a great day!
Marie,
First I LOVE this project! Second,I noticed you have the same issue I have with my sewing machine sitting in my sewing table with some gaps around the edges of the machine. I wanted to share a tip that helped me cover those gaps.
Dollar tree has clear plastic chopping mats in a pack of 2 for $1.25. They measure 11x17 and are the thickness of template material. I laid the mat on my sewing machine and table and marked around the presser foot, and feed dogs then used a Xacto knife to cut out the hole to allow them to work properly. I taped the chopping mat to my sewing table/sewing machine with painter's tape, and it works great to keep my chain piecing from getting caught up in the crack between my machine and the table. Just thought I'd share this little trick in case you find that to be an issue for you too. Have a great week!
Hi Suzanne! Thank you, I'm glad that you like the project.
I love your idea! I actually just bought some of that cutting board stuff the last time I was at Dollar Tree, because I needed it for templates. I think I'm going to have to see if there's such a thing as white or clear painter's tape so I can try to cover the edges. My sewing machine isn't level with the sewing table, there's a little bit of a gap, so it would go down from the sewing machine to the table at a slope. I still love this idea. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I'm going to see if I can make it work for me.
@@MariesScrappyCreations I had the same problem with my machine sitting just slightly too low as well. So I added a little rubber non slip pad under the machine (this also reduced some vibration noise I was dealing with) that raised it just enough to be level with my table. It took some fiddling but now it sits just right. I also put a rectangle of Styrofoam that came in a package behind my machine to fill the gap there because my machine is much smaller than the table opening. The table was a gift from a friend so i made it work for me. Necessity is the mother of invention lol.
That's a great idea. But actually, my machine bed is a bit taller than the table so it would slant downward to the table. I have a fairly thin mat underneath my sewing machine, but that has to stay there. About a month or so ago, my cat got up on top of my sewing machine and when she jumped down, she pushed off with her legs and dumped my machine on the floor and it split into 4 pieces. I'm very lucky that it evwn works. But anyway, that's why I have that mat underneath it, so it can't slip as easily. Thank you so much!
These key fobs are going on my to do list to make for friends for Christmas. Thanks for the idea.
You're welcome Carol and I hope you have fun sewing them. They work up quickly, and like you say, they will make great gifts
I have some pretty keys to go on the key fobs.
🥰🥰
thanks for this tutorial! i started sewing again just recently and this is definitely a fun project to do to make gifts for my friends and family! i love both styles as well ❤
Oh, this is a perfect project for a new sewer. Yay for you! I hope you have a lot of fun making these for your family and friends and I’m sure they’re going to love them! Have fun and happy sewing!
Thanks Marie. I never made a KEY FOB before but I am ready to try it. Thanks for the tutorial. Love your channel.
You're always ever so sweet, Terie.. thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my channel and I really enjoy all of our interaction!
Great little gadget. I Subbed from Blissful Off Grid Homestead. I teach Arts & Crafts and this will be a handy addition to our small class projects. If/when I use it, I will Shout Out your Channel. 💜💜💜 AuntieEllen
Ellen, that sounds so exciting! I would love to hear about a class project, if you do end up using them. I’m so glad I was able to help you out. I need to go catch up on Susan‘s videos and see what she’s been up to. Her and Rob are always busy around the Homestead! Take care and have a great week.
@@MariesScrappyCreations I just posted a quick Video on How to use those tiny scraps to make a Wreath with scraps I usually put out for Bird Neats💜💜💜 AuntieEllen
@@GQUATTRADITIONZS I will have to watch that! I just subscribed to your channel. I thought I had done it a week or 2 ago, but when I went there, I realized that I had not. I fixed that! 🥰
Thanks for the key fob tutorial...I immediately made one out of sharkteeth fabric to go with a birthday gift today. Cool! 🦈🗝
Well that worked out perfectly, didn’t it? Yay!
Thank you for another awesome tutorial, and I can’t wait to try the thread trick to avoid the bird nest!!!❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome and I'm happy you learned a trick 🙂
I just made 20+ key fobs for each member of a group I belong to.
Good morning Janet! That’s wonderful, I’m sure they love them! I made so many for the craft fair this past summer. That’s when I got the idea to make a tutorial about them. Happy sewing!
My husband is a master in loosing or misplacing keys, so I made him a key fob out of a safety vest material and reflecting ribbon.
That is a great idea, Gundi!!! Thank you so much for sharing that! I'm sure he loves it!
New to your channel. New subscriber. Love your teaching style. Thank you for sharing your gifts
🙏🏻❤️🙌
Thanks for subscribing! I am so happy that you found me! I try to keep things fun and interesting. We just started a new tote bag tutorial (part 1 was this past Sunday). it’s funny that you commented on this exact video, since today I am sewing key fobs, lol. Have a great day and I hope to see you tomorrow morning for the live streamed What’s Up Wednesday. I do that every Wednesday at 10 AM Eastern standard time.
Thank you for your reply 🥰
You're welcome 😊
Oh how I could have used this a few years ago when I was making them for my quilt guild! This is an easier, and dare I say, less expensive way to make these than I did. I used a strap material that I sewed a braid on which certainly cost more than scraps and fabric. They were beautiful and very sturdy, but I do like these better. I also like the idea of using the key ring versus the key fob hardware. I will have to make myself one using your technique.
Hi Nancy! I know quite a few people who have made them the way you described. I just didn’t want to have to buy anything unnecessarily in order to use up my scraps. You know me, I have to use scraps, ha ha. I’m glad I was able to help you out, though. Let me know how they turn out. Take care!
Another channel tip for key fobs. Put E600 glue or hot glue inside the key fob hardware to secure the fabric inside the hardware (end where fabric goes in)before clamping it down. It’s extra security and that way u don’t have to hold on to the fabric when clamping it down!
Hi Janice! Thank you! I actually just bought some Gorilla glue the other day. It said it could be used on metal, cloth, wood, etc. I don't remember exactly which formula it was, but I got it so that I could use it when I put Chicago screws into my wallets when I make them. I figure if it will hold that, it will definitely hold the tip of a key fob.
I just saw a scrunchie made as a key fob you can wear on your wrist. Thanks Marie
Good morning Donna! I have seen those, too. I wrote it down as a possible upcoming video tutorial, but I’m not sure when that will be. I’m always switching things around, depending on my ideas and holidays, etc.
Very easy, clear, love you speed up, things we do not need to see. I make gifts for my cancer nurse care staff..now i have something fun usefull.
Thanks so much! I'm happy that your liked not only the tutorial, but the way I presented it. I think you have a very thoughtful and sweet idea to give these as gifts to the nurses. I'm sure you'll make them very happy!
Good morning Marie
Good morning Beverly!🥰
I cannot decide which key fob I like the best. Maybe I would have to do one of each.
Hi Janice! I like both ways, although I think the one with the key fob hardware is easier, at least in some ways. But they both have their advantages.
Love your key fob very good instructions, thank you so much for showing us. What is the measurement of the batting, especially the width?
Thanks again
Hi! The width was listed in the description box as "just under 1" wide" because we have to have a little wiggle room. I cut the length the same or close to the sane as the length of the strip of fabric.
I love the key fob! Thank you for sharing. Where did you get the tool to clamp the 2nd one on? I need to make some of these. I need one for my house key!
Hi Portia! You can find the link to the hardware listed below the video in the description box. I also pinned a comment, which is also underneath the video. Both places have the link to where I bought my tools. If you can’t find it, just let me know. Have fun and happy sewing!
I really enjoyed your video. First time here on your channel. I would like to know if you teach how to make the wrist pin holder I see in this video? Thank you.
Hi abd welcome! Yes, I will leave a link below to the wrist pincushion tutorial. Happy sewing!

love... I.ve alot of 5-squares what size is your batting strips just ordered some hareware...ty
Hi Betty! Yes, I started out with three 5" squares, which I then cut down to a 4" wide strip. I cut the batting at just under 1" wide and just about the same length as my fabric.
Great tutorial. Great idea. How much do you charge for these at the craft fairs? Much Love
Hi Cindy. Thanks! I charge $5 each for the key fobs. The only ones I made for the craft fair were the ones with the key fob hardware, not the ones with the round key ring.
KEY
🔑🗝🔐😉🤣
These are really cute gift ideas. Thank you - your instructions are great!
What width/length is your batting?
Try one inch or just slightly under to fit into the crease. By length of your fabric and cut to fit if using method 2
@@AnitaSouthall thank you
Good morning Patricia! I’m glad you like the idea and I’m happy that you like my instructions. I’m sorry about not mentioning the width of the batting. I guess your question was answered. I cut it just under 1” wide, just as Anita mentioned.
Thank you Anita! I had meant to mention that and now I am second-guessing, as I must not have. So many things to remember, ha ha. Thank you for helping out, I appreciate it!
👍🏻🙏
I love your tote bags!Where do you live?
Thank you! I love making tote bags, actually bags of any kind. I live in Maine 🥰

What is this key fob for?
How is it used???
Hi! The opening fits around your wrist (if you want to carry it) and on the end is a metal circle to clip your keys on to. It's just a very pretty way to carry your keys 🔑 💕
Introduction is too long. I love the tutorial
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
