MOPS Feather Key Chain Tutorial

After sharing our welcome gifts with fellow MOPS Leaders I've been asked to make a tutorial on how to make them. Below in the supply list I also have links to where I bought our Feather Key Chain supplies. 

 

-Supplies Needed-

Key Rings: http://tinyurl.com/kkhzpeo

Split Rings 7mm: http://tinyurl.com/mh7bd7t

Feather Charms Lg: http://tinyurl.com/ohthlxu

Aquamarine Gem Beads: http://tinyurl.com/q2m9zq3

Head Pins: http://tinyurl.com/mf9q78j

Spacer Beads (Can be Found at any craft store.)

-Tools Needed-

Clockwise

Paper Piercer

Small Round Nose Pliers

Wire Cutters

Chain Nose Pliers

Split Ring Pliers

 

 

The Split Ring Pliers are not necessary but they help quite a bit.

Open the split ring enough to get the loop of the key ring on.

 

Once the key ring is on I move to a pair of chain pliers for a better grip. 

From there you can attach the feather charm.

 

All Linked.

 

Add your beads to the head pin.

 

Using your fingers as your guide, put your thumb just above

the top bead and right above your thumb cut the wire. 

 

After being cut.

Next loop the wire using the Small Round Nose Pliers.

 

Hook on the the split ring of the key chain.

 

Close the gap using the Chain Nose Pliers.

(I apologize for the blurry photo.)

 

Completed.



I made my image on http://www.picmonkey.com/#.

Printed it out on card stock at 3.75" x 5.75".

I placed a key chain on top to measure

where the key chain should be attached.

I poked two holes and used floral

wire to twist tie the key chain on.

 

The back.

 

The finished card and key chain fit

perfectly into a 4" x 6" jewelry zip lock.

Most craft stores including Walmart sell these bags.
