Cross Stitch/cross-stitch circular key chain

Question
Hi: I cross-stitched a cute bumble bee and my friend wants it to be a key chain.  I can't find anywhere a plastic circular key chain holder to hold this.  I know I have to stitch white cotton on the back of the design to hide the rear of the cross-stitch.

Can you please help me.  Thanks,  Tricia

Answer
Hello, Tricia :)

My sincerest apologies for not getting back to you until now.  I had no power since midnight Thursday until late Saturday due to heavy snow knocking down power lines and transformers in our area.  I can honestly say that it's nice to have heat and lights. :)

Here is a website that sells those circular keychains.  They also sell heartshaped ones, too.

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
