• Eyepins
• Charms
• Beads

Optional Materials:

Directions

1. Twist a screw eye into one end of a cork. Attach a split ring to the loop of the screw eye to create the keychain.
   
2. Cut an eyepin in half using wire cutters or sharp scissors. Use the side that still contains a loop, and slide on a bead. Push the beaded eyepin into the other end of the cork.
   
3. Add charm by twisting open the attached jump ring, placing it through the loop in the eye pin and twisting closed.

• This is also a fantastic bridesmaid gift. Use beads that coordinate to the wedding colors and attach a letter charm to the end for each bridesmaid’s first initial.
