How to make a Ribbon and Cotton Webbing Key Fob Hardware Wristlet by ILikeBigButtons.com March 18 2019
Supplies:
- 10"x1.25" Fabric strip (of your choosing)
- Ribbon (make sure it's narrower than the Cotton Webbing)
- Heat N Bond or Fusible Tape
- 1" or 1.25" Key Fob Hardware set
- Key Fob Hardware Pliers
- Sewing Machine
- Iron
.jpg)
1. Cut a 10" section of Cotton Webbing and Ribbon of your choosing.
2. Iron Heat N Bond (10" by thinner than ribbon) to Cotton Webbing making sure to center it, this is not a necessary step but it makes it easier to sew the Ribbon on especially with embroidered ribbon.
3. Iron the Ribbon to the Cotton Webbing.
4. Now sew up one side of the Ribbon and down the other. The Ribbon is attached securely to the Cotton Webbing now. Trim the edges so that they are even.
5. Fold the Cotton Webbing in half, right sides facing out and match up the ends. Stitch the ends together with a 1/4" seam allowance. Trim any loose threads.
6. Tuck the sewn seam ends into the Key Fob Hardware, making sure that the Cotton Webbing is in there evenly and not hanging out one end or the other.
7. Using your Pliers wrapped in duct tape or a scrap of fabric to protect the metal from getting scratched, squeeze the Key Fob Hardware closed a little at a time. I like to go back and forth a couple of times so that I don't over crimp one side too much.
8. Add the Key Ring and Yay!!! You are done. Good Job!!!

Key Fob Lip Balm Holder by ILikeBigButtons.com December 10 2018
I have been admiring these Lip Balm Holders for some time and decided to today to make a few for my littles' Lip Balm and my Blistex. I love how they turned out!
Supplies:
- 15.5" x 2.25" of Cotton Fabric
- 15.5" x 2.25" piece of Fusible Interfacing
- 1.25" Key Fob Hardware with Split Rings
- Key Fob Pliers
- Sewing Clips
- Standard Sewing Machine
- Iron and Ironing Board
- Scissors
1. Cut a 15.5" x 2.25" piece of Cotton Fabric and Fusible Interfacing. These measurements will work for standard Lip Balm Tube and the standard Blistex Tube. You may need to adjust measures for your favorite lip product.
2. Iron the Fusible Interfacing to the wrong side of your fabric.
3. Fold right sides together width-wise and sew both long sides with a 1/4" seam. Do not sew short sides.
4. Turn tube right side out through the open side, iron flat, and sew the open short side closed with a zig-zag stitch.
5. Fold zig-zag side back on itself 1 1/4". Sew straight stitch 1/2" from the top, and again at 5/8" from the top. This is what it will look like from the back.
6. Here is how the front turned out. This will be the front of the pocket on the Lip Balm Holder.
7. Fold the tab that will be the front of the pocket at 2 3/4". Make sure the zig-zag stitch is hidden. Use Sewing Clips to hold front pocket in place while sewing. Stitch at 1/4" seam around the whole holder. And again at 1/8". Start and finish at the top edge so that your start and finish stitches will be hidden.
8. Center the 1.25" Key Fob Hardware on the top edge of the Lip Balm Holder.
9. Using Key Fob Hardware Pliers squeeze the Key Fob Hardware closed with gentle pressure. Sometimes, I go back and forth from left to right added a little bit of pressure to each side until it eases together. Our Key Fob Hardware Pliers make this easy to do. Make sure the teeth in the Key Fob Hardware are sunk securely into the fabric.
10. Tada! These little Lip Balm Holders were easy to make and are great as a quick thoughtful gift for a loved one who hates chapped lips.
11. Hang them on your keychain, the outside of your purse, or anywhere you need for quick access.

How to make Embroidered Ribbon Key Fob Hardware Wristlets October 01 2014
How to make Embroidered Ribbon Key Fob Hardware Wristlets
Today, I am making embroidered ribbon Key Fob Hardware Wristlets. Just a couple weeks ago, my mom, sister and I had a girl's weekend at my home. In between long rounds of talking and catching up (we talk every week by phone ;), eating good food, chasing kids, and being put to work. They graciously volunteered to help me do some of the tedious day to day work for my business. We snuck in some time to make a few Key Fob Hardware Wristlets for them. Here are some examples of how they turned out.
Supplies:
- Ribbon of your choosing (Narrower than the Cotton Webbing)
- 1x 10″ Piece of 1.25″ Cotton Webbing
- 1x 10″ Piece of Ribbon
- 1 Key Fob Hardware and Split Ring
- Key Fob Hardware Pliers
- Fray Check
- Wonder Clips
- Standard Sewing Machine with Embroidery option
Instructions:
1. Cut a 10" section of the Cotton Webbing and Ribbon of your choosing.
2. The ribbon I was using was made of polyester so I used a lighter to seal the ends of the ribbon so it doesn't fray. (If you are unsure, you may want to practice on a scrap piece if this is your first time or you are unsure of the what the material is made of.)
-
If you would like (I didn't do it this time but have in the past): Cut a 10" section of Heat N Bond, keeping it thinner than your ribbon.
-
Iron the Heat N Bond to your Cotton Webbing, making sure to center it. This is not a necessary step but it makes it easier to sew the Ribbon on especially with embroidered ribbon.
-
Iron the Ribbon to the Cotton Webbing.
3. Using my Standard Sewing Machine with Embroidery options, I picked the word I wanted on my ribbon and sewed it on my ribbon. I folded my ribbon in half and estimated about where the letters would end up and came up with about 2 1/2" to 3" down to get the font centered on the Wristlet once finished.
4. Use Fray Check to seal the end of the Cotton Webbing.
5. I laid out my Ribbon and Rick Rack how I wanted it to look using my Wonder Clips. Love them!
6. Sew up one side of the Ribbon and down the other. The Ribbon should now be securely attached to the Cotton Webbing.
7. Fold the Cotton Webbing in half, right sides facing out and match up the ends.
8. Stitch the ends together with a 1/4" seam allowance.
9. Trim any loose threads.
10. Tuck the sewn seam ends into the Key Fob Hardware, making sure that the Cotton Webbing is centered.
11. Using Key Fob Hardware Pliers squeeze the Key Fob Hardware closed with gentle pressure.
12. Note the adjustable screw set to the distance I want the pliers to go to.
13. Add the Split Ring and Yay!!!
14. I love them and now I have a set for myself too!
