Tutorial: Moustache keychain

If you can't choose gift for your dad, son or boyfriend - you can make а beautiful and stylish gift by your hands. Yes, it's possible! Here I write how to make leather mustache keychain.
You can buy this moustache key chain in my shop.

You will need:
a. A piece of genuine leather – thickness 0.03-0.06” (0,7-1,5 mm)
b. A thick needle or awl
c. Scissors
d. Flat nose pliers (2 pairs)
e. A key ring
f. Thread
g. A sewing machine
h. Moustache pattern

1. You can print and use the pattern included or draw your own.

2. Outline the moustache pattern twice оn the back side of the leather. Also outline a rectangle measuring 0.8x2.4” (2x6 cm).

3. Cut them out. It has to look like this.

4. Pass the strip into the ring and bend in half. Join the edges as shown. Position the strip with the ring between the two cut-out moustache pieces as desired.

5. Sew together at a distance of 0.1" (2-3 mm) from the edge. Sew through twice where you put strip with the ring.

6. If one of the edges overhangs, trim it with scissors.

7. The other solution is to attach the chain (not thin one)

Your keychain is ready! 

Unique keychains for your dad

Father's day is near and it's time to think about gift for your dad.
Simple and stylish leather keychain is a useful gift for Father's Day or your Special Guy's birthday. Show your father gratitude and appreciation by giving him one of these unique lwather keychains. I wrote unique because I don't have this leather more so I can write that every keychain is One of a Kind. Our dads usually like these neutral and earth colors: brown, grey, olive green, bronze...
Every keychain is made from three layers of genuine leather. The center is securely fastened with a rivet. With swivel hook your dad can attach to keys or use it whatever he want.
