Hi, I'm Mellisa from The Life of a Craft Crazed Mom. I'm so excited to share my duct tape key chains with you today!!
Duct Tape Keychain
As I was looking at my daughter's duct tape, I knew there had to be something I could make from it.
Then it hit me, wristlet keychains!! With such a selection of duct tape out there, your options are endless. I decided to stick with white, silver, and gold. Everyone needs a keychain, why not make one yourself out of duct tape, right?
Gorgeous, aren't they?
As far as making one for yourself, the process is so simple. Start by ripping a piece of your duct tape off about 14 inches long.
Fold each of the sides in, meeting in the middle.
Then, fold your entire strip of tape in half.
Place a binder ring through the raw end of your tape and fold the edge up about an inch.
Take a coordinating piece of duct tape and cut it about 2 inches long.
Again, fold edges in, not quite meeting in the middle. You want some backing to be exposed to stick to your wristlet.
Wrap the small coordinating piece around, covering the raw edge of the wristlet. I did use a little glue to secure my edges.
Again, with so many options of duct tape out there, you could create something elegant like these or something a lot more fun for a kids' project!! They were so simple to make, give it a try. Make one for yourself or maybe for a gift!

Where do you get the sparky button on top? That adds so much. Is it a button? Where would you find online? Not sure what to call it
Katie
Hi Sandy! I call them flat back embellishments, and you can find all sorts of flatback embellishments at scrapbook stores or online like places at Amazon.
