This Owl Key Chain Holder is a great idea to sew as a gift for friends & relatives in any occasion. The used of contrasting color for the lining gives a funky feel, however, to make it look more harmony, you can choose coordinating color for the fabric/lining choice. Keep you keys in the cozy holder of the owl’s belly by pulling the leaves, not only prevent the keys from scratching your bag’s lining, when you are back, just hang it on the wall or cabinet {click here or next to see the photo}. NEAT!!!
This keychain holder is one of my best selling handmade in the recent charity sales, just like the pencil holder, they were all sold out during the pre-sale. Hope you like it and sew one soon. Please share your handmade photos in the Facebook page.
Recently, I found a word call “Zakka” which derived from the Japanese “zak-ka” (雑貨) that means “many things”. Wikipedia quoted that “Zakka refers to everything and anything that improves your home, life and appearance”. Well, aren’t we who handmade little on this and that called zakka too? If you google “Zakka image” then look at the piggy pillow, turtle pincushion, pom-pom’s, bags & purses , this owl keychain holder & many more that I have created, compare them, you will relate
[показать] Are you one of the Zakka crafters too?
Don’t worry about being zakka or not, as long as we are happy with what we are making and keep on improving it, we are progressing everyday!!!
Let’s get the pattern which was co-designed with my sister Estee, and the step-by-step instruction on how to sew it after the jump.
