Back To School Apple Key Chain

Hi!  It’s Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl.  Don’t you just love these green apple key chains?  They are super easy to make.  It’s hard to sew just one – you might end up sewing a bushel!!  What makes these so cute is using HeatnBond® Craft and quilt batting together – makes for a soft yet durable apple.

Materials:

Apple pattern click HERE
HeatnBond Craft®
Quilt batting
fabric for apple front and apple back
twill tape or ribbon
keychain findings
green felt for leaf

Begin by fusing HeatnBond® to the wrong side of your apple fabrics

Next, peel off the paper backing and iron the front and back pieces to the quilt batting.  The HeatnBond® will fuse to the batting.  You are making a little sandwich!

Using a disappearing ink pen, draw your apple shape.

Here you can see how I drew all the apples.  You only have to draw them on one side.  

Now, sew along the pen line:

Cut the apples close to the seam.  Using a piece of twill tape, or ribbon, loop a small split ring through the ribbon and tack it down to the apple on the sewing machine.  Cut 2 leaves out of felt and position them on both sides, covering the edge of the twill tape.  Sew into place like this:

Add a larger split ring or zipper pull.  I told you I made a bushel!
