Letters keychain
With ribbon and letter beads you can create beautiful pendants. These are not only practical, but also individual: Choose ribbons and beads in your favorite colors and thread your name on. You can attach to the pendant both to a carabiner or key rings. Each pendant is thus unique. The pendant is versatile: on a lanyard, pencil case, suitcase or on your jacket.

These are the tools you will need to make a pendant:

  • Scissors to cut the ribbon
  • Ruler or tape measure to measure the ribbon
  • Flat nose pliers for attaching a metal tag
Prepare all the materials you need. First, cut a piece of ribbon about 20 cm long in your favorite color. Thread the ribbon through the eyelet of the carabiner or through the key ring.
Fasten the ribbon with a knot or start stringing the beads directly. When you have threaded all the beads, close the pendant with a knot. Cut off the excess ends of the ribbon.
Additionally, you can add a metal pendant to your pendant. To do this, bend the binder ring open with pliers and place the metal pendant in the open binder ring.
You hang the binder ring in the eyelet of the carabiner or directly on the key ring and bend it together again. And your pendant is ready!
1. use beads with a large diameter if you want to double thread the ribbon.
2. attaching a metal tag with a binder ring is optional and more suitable for older children.
3. nylon ribbon frays, so you can carefully flame it at the ends with a lighter. Be sure to have an adult help you.
