How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
To make this pretty keychain, you will need:
- a cork stopper (Ø 2.4 x 4.5 cm)
- a wooden bead Ø 3 cm (see our selection of beads)
- 5 screws Ø 4 mm x 5 cm (or equivalent)
- adhesive fabric with a denim effect
- ribbon
- 2 googly eyes Ø 1 cm
- 2 bee beads
- rubber alphabet stickers
- a keychain connector
- a tube of strong white glue
- a paint marker
- a pair of scissors
Step 1
Cut a piece of adhesive fabric with a denim effect measuring 4.5 cm x 10 cm and then stick it around a cork stopper.
Step 2
Cut a piece of ribbon measuring 10 cm and then glue it around the cap with strong white glue.
Step 3
To customize the keychain for Father's Day, stick a colorful rubber sticker representing the first letter of dad's name.
Step 4
Thread colored bee beads onto 2 screws and then screw them under the cap to create the character's legs.
If you don't have screws in your drawers, no worries, a handful of screws will cost you no more than one euro at a hardware store!
Step 5
Screw in a screw on each side of the cap to create the character's arms.
Step 6
Decorate a 3 cm wooden bead to create the character's head. To do this, draw the hair with a paint marker and then glue on 2 googly eyes Ø 1 cm with strong white glue.
Step 7
Pass a screw through the small ring at the end of the keychain attachment.
Step 8
Pass the screw through the wooden bead and then screw the assembly onto the upper part of the cap to secure the character's head.

c'est bien et rusée comme construction trop cool
Très joli mais il doit faire mal dans les poches et doit abîmer les vêtements
