You Will Need (9 things)

  • Sewing Machine (optional)
  • Keyring
  • Ribbon
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Sewing Thread and needle
  • Pin(s)
  • Felt for backing
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Suede or felt Fabric

Steps (2 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    - print off & cut out gemstone template.
    - pin the template to the suede & cut around. Cut one felt too.
    - place template over suede shape & using a pin punch through the paper to make a small mark in the suede. You are aiming to transfer the points of the design onto the suede so you can then join the dots with tailors chalk or a pencil. Pencil marks came off for me but be sure to do it very lightly, remove with blue tack!

  2. 2

    - using a sewing machine or needle & thread sew over the design.
    - using embroidery thread go over the top parts of the design to give the design some definition.
    - make a loop with the ribbon, sandwich between the suede & the felt, attach the two layers together with more stitches.
    - add key-ring to ribbon.
