Wood Ring Key Chain

This key chain is made from a 3" wooden ring that has had a screw eye and split ring added to it. Actually this would make a great bazaar item. It is fairly quick to make and very inexpensive as well.

Materials Needed
Small amount luster sheen. Rose was used in the example.
Size C/2 2.75mm aluminum crochet hook
1 wooden ring 3" x .5"
power drill
1/16" drill bit
1 Screw Eye .5"
1 small split key ring

Yarn Thickness 2mm
Gauge: 6sc = 1"
Finished Size: 3.5" diam
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions
Drill hole into wooden ring anywhere on the outside of it. Screw the screw eye into it. Put ring onto screw eye. (You can order a ring with all of this already done if you like. Just email me for details.)

RND 1: Tie yarn onto ring just to the left of the screw eye. Sc in ring. *Ch3. 2sc in ring. Rep from * until wooden ring is completely filled. I did not count how many times. Just repeat it until you fill it up. Then join w/slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave ends into work.

You can use worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn and an H/8 5mm aluminum hook for faster, more bulky results.

Random Quick Tip!

Crafting Journal
Have you ever considered keeping a journal of all the major projects you make?? You could take pictures of the item, then put them into a photo album with the information about the item. The information to write down would be, the name of the pattern, where the pattern came from, the list of materials used in the project, how long it took to make, the date you started the project and when you finised it, and then who you gave it to and when. And the special occasion as to why it was given. If you keep all this information, then future generations will have a better sense of who you were. Keep it with the family geaneology information. I may start to do this myself for significant projects that I make and give.
