Rope Tassel Keychain Instructions
Your Craft Kit Includes Supplies to make 2 Keychains:
2 - Pieces of Rope (12 inches each)
2 - Lobster Clasp Key Chains
5 - Bobbins of Colored Thread
1 - Embroidery Needle
1 - Super Glue Tube
1 - Pair of Scissors
Thread rope through loop at end of keychain.
Fray the edges of rope by gently pulling apart the ends. Fray 2 inches of each end.
Bring the two frayed ends together and add a bit of glue on (what you determine to be) the back side.
Choose your first color of thread. Place the end of thread on the glue and let the super-glue dry quickly. Wrap the thread tightly around the two ropes (see picture). When you end the first color, add more glue to the back and tuck in the end of thread with the embroidery needle.
When starting your next color, tuck the start of thread into the previous color. Add a bit more glue.
When you finish, add more glue and tuck the end in the tightly wrapped thread.
You can add as many colors and layers of embroidery thread as you like. I loved doing a color blocking pattern.
