So here is how today's project was born...
I had a bunch of embroidery floss laying around so I decided to use them for my next craft. I used Bing to search for inspirational images of other projects made from embroidery floss. After browsing a few pages, I noticed a lot of accessories like jewelry and pens being wrapped with yarn, so that got me wondering what little object I could jazz up. A few minutes later, it hit me! And that is why all my keys are now color-coded with yarn!
Now let's get started!
Materials:
• Key
• Embroidery Floss (about 5 feet)
• Tacky Glue
• Scissors
Steps:
• Add a thin layer of glue to both sides of the key's bow (aka the top part). It's easier to apply a small amount of glue then add more as you go.
• Find the center of your embroidery floss and place it on the bottom of the key's bow.
• Working your way to the top, start wrapping the embroidery floss around the key cover, alternating between the two sides of the yarn. Add more glue as needed and continue wrapping.
• If your key has multiple holes at the top like mine, you’ll need to individually wrap around them too (see images below).
• Secure the first end of the embroidery floss by gluing it to the rest of the yarn. Cut any access yarn off if needed.
• Wrap the remaining end around until the key is completely covered.
• Glue the end to secure.
