Blog Swap with Persnickety

Welcome everyone to a new blog swap. This blogger is really great and I hope that you all head on over to her blog and check her out and leave her a nice comment.


Hi Everyone. I'm thrilled to be here today with guest blogging with Bobbie from a Vision to Remember. Bobbie is such an inspiring crafter, and I enjoy reading about all of her craft and sewing endeavors.


Let me introduce myself. I am Alyssa from Persnickety Peacock.



My blog explores my various passions from sewing, crafting, gardening, and cooking. I love to craft. I've been sewing for a little over a year, and I just began embroidery. Honestly, anything not nailed down is in danger of having a monogram. I love to try new recipes, and I oftentimes create digital recipe card for my blog readers to download too. Well, enough about me...let's get started with today's tutorial.


I hope everyone is gearing up for the Fourth of July. I have several friends coming to town, so I decided to put together a quick and easy holiday key chain. Today, I want to share the simple tutorial to make these holiday keyrings. In fact, I'm slightly embarrassed to call this a tutorial because it is so easy!



Step 1: Collect the following supplies: (1) hotel keycard, (2) circular keyring, (3) small adhesive scrapbook paper, (4) scissors, (5) hole puncher, and (6) spare house key.



Step 2: Pull the adhesive backing back from the small scrapbook paper. Place the keycard face down on the adhesive paper.



Step 3: Fold the end of the adhesive paper over the side of the keycard. Then, roll the keycard over so all sides are covered.




Step 4: Trim back the leftover adhesive paper and ends.




Step 5: Using the scissors, round the edges (following the shape of the hotel keycard).



Step 6: Using a regular hole puncher, punch a hole wherever you would like. After I created mine, I began to think the corner would have been a cute place to put the hole.



Step 7: Slide the keyring through the hole and add your key.



Now you have a spare key for your friends who come to visit. Change the scrapbook paper to fit the holiday of your visitors or create a generic keyring to use year round.
