Friendship Valentine’s key chains
To make your friendship keychains you will need
- Yarn (different colors, size etc)
- Key chain
- Colored beads

- Cardboard (optional)
How to make Valentine’s Day Keychains
First let’s make a tassel.
Yarn + 2 long strings of yarn + piece of cardboard.
Take your cardboard and roll some yarn around it. Take your first string of yarn, make a knot around the stack of yarn you did.
Now you can take your tassel out of your cardboard; then cut one edge (the opposite of your knot).
Take your second piece of string and roll it at around ½” from your first knot. Refer to pics if necessary.
Add your beads to the keychain
Add your beads to your tassel string, then attached it to your keychain.
Adding your printable to the keychain to make it a Valentine’s Day gift
Cut one heart out of your printable, and with the help of your punch make a hole. Attached your keychain to your heart.
You are done! Make as much as your want
Second, let’s make a braid.
Though this is a “normal” 3 Strand Braid.. you may also like our 4 Strand Braid video tutorial! It is easy and looks great!
Yarn + 2 long strings of yarn.
Choose 3 colors of yarn.Cut 2 long strings of each color. Leave around 2” of strings before your start braiding. For an idea make a braid the size of a bracelet.
Fold it in half. Take the first string and make a knot at the top of your braid. Take your second string and roll it at the edge of your braid.
Now add some beads and attached it to your keychain. Cut and add your heart. You’re done. Make as much as you want.
