Like your phone and bag, keys go everywhere you do. So why is the keychain such an overlooked accessory?
Those lonely keyrings adorned with laminated grocery rewards cards, gym memberships and freebies from the bank/car dealership have gots to go - it's time to swap in a statement that looks just as chic in your hand as the bracelets that line your wrist!
How to: DIY Leather Fringe Keychain
You will need:1. Cut four 12 inch pieces of leather cord.
4 Ft. leather cord
Scissors
1 D-Ring (we bought ours at Jo-Ann Fabrics)
Keyring
2. Tie lark's head (cow hitch) knots by folding one piece in half then thread through the D-Ring.
3. Loop through and pull tight to create one piece of fringe.
4. Continue to do this with the 3 remaining pieces of leather.
5. Attach your new and improved keyring and voilà!

I dig it! I want to start making leather tassel keychains and purse charms... but for now, I have a bunch of fringe necklaces and earrings in my shop: http://christijay.etsy.com
This is a really cool idea! I have been looking for a new lanyard that I could attach my keys to but this is better and more original.
