Free Design: How to make a Key Chain Wristlet

Step 1: Select a fabric you enjoy cut strip 5inches high and 15 inches long (5x15)

    Step 2: Iron out wrinkles and with the wrong side facing you fold the top and bottom in toward the center until the edges match use iron to reinforce edges.

 
Step 3: Fold piece in half length wise so both edges touch. Reinforce edge with iron.

 
Step 4: Sew a 3/8ths seam along both sides of fabric lengthwise. *Start your stitches with the folded over side. This helps prevent slipping of the edges later.

Step 5: Fold piece in half and sew 1 ½ inches above the edges. Run your machine over this spot 4 times to ensure a secure stitch.


Step 6: Flip the piece right side out so the 1 ½ inch fabric is on the inside. Align this with the strip and pin down.

Step 7: Begin making your decorative X stitch ¾ inches from the now folded edge (this will leave room for you to secure your O ring once you are done sewing).

Step 8: Trim any remaining fabric from the 1 ½ inch piece that didn’t get sewn into the fold.




Step 9: Attach your O ring.
Step 10: Enjoy your new Key Chain Wristlet!
