    I love giving gifts. Not because people praise me or whatever, just because it makes me feel good

    The fabric does, somehow wiggle it's way out of the hardware, possibly from the weight of the keys. Use a little e6000 inside the hardware end, where the fabric meets the hardware, before clamping it. I tend to add a tiny bit in the sides also, not too much so you don't have a mess. So far, this has worked well keeping the fabric inside the fob. Btw, I just love your personality and enthusiasm, love your videos 😍.

    When I make these I add a spot of glue inside the clasp as over time they like to wiggle out of the clasp. Works like a charm-speaking of which, I add tassels and charms sometimes too!!

    I also use E6000 so that the fabric, hopefully, doesn’t fall out. I have had good luck with this too. I always have to take the ring off because I can’t get it to work as well as you did. These are really fun to make. Thank you for all that you do for us.

      I put a line of stitching 1/4 inch from the end before attaching hardware as I've had just 1 side slip out before(teeth on hardware were faulty I think) The line of stitching just gives a little more stay strength

    I made 12 of these with scraps that I was processing the day that you posted this videos… I was in a rut from making quilted Halloween bags for my grands… to to give my mind a rest I started organizing… when I got to a stand still waiting of things to arrive for said organizing… I was processing scraps. Coffee break, in come Chelsea with these and violaAaaaaaaaa! A dozen wristlet straps for Christmas, then back to processing. PSA: don’t let your scraps get out of hand… it’s a pain in the butt to process too much… just try to do them when each project is completed.

      I found this to be true as well. Once that was solved then the hardware decided it was going to separate and break, I found that I had to remove the rubber covers on the pliers and be careful not to clamp too close to the loop holding the ring. Whew! Lotsa tweeking but now success. They are super fun to make, thank you for the tutorial.

    Can you do a tutorial on how to make a “pen pouch” or I have seen them called “pen pocket” that clips onto a lanyard?
    I’m ok making the lanyard but the pouch is not going so well. I’ve had some nursing students ask me if I can make them and I thought I could but my main problem is centering the loop to attach the lanyard and just getting it to look even. I’m a fairly new to sewing but
    I just know you will have a quick and much easier way than other videos I have watched. Thanks!

  • @tamiejamison455
    @tamiejamison455 2 місяці тому +3

    I would do a safety stitch sewing the two ends together, before putting the hardware on. So thet the peice doesn't pull the hardware apart . I had mine fall apart because of that, and put a little bit of 6000 glue on it before you put hardware on.

    • @trinam2503
      @trinam2503 2 місяці тому +2

      Yes, you can!! While still flat, slide your keyring on. Then stitch close your strap into a loop. Stitch a seam across the loop about 1/2 from the key ring to keep it in one place. You might have to play around w a couple to see the best place to have the loop closing seam. But once you get it, its pretty easy. I saw a tutorial for it several months ago. But I dont remember who. Maybe Chelsea has/can do one!! 😃
