Keychain with magnet

[Super Easy] Make a keychain with a magnet using fusible interfacing scraps 😆 Turn leftover scraps into a handy accessory 💖

Keychain with magnet

Let’s use leftover fusible interfacing scraps to make a keychain with a magnet.

Fusible interfacing is used on the inside of fabric to provide support, prevent distortion, and keep a beautiful silhouette.

There are several types of fusible interfacing, but we’ll use a stiff one and a quilted fusible interfacing.

If your interfacing isn’t stiff enough, you can insert a piece of thick paper, or stack several layers of leftover interfacing in place of the quilted type.

Pay attention to any fold lines in the interfacing, and cut the interfacing according to the keychain pattern.

Place the quilted interfacing on top of the stiff interfacing, then place both on the fabric you’ll use for the keychain.

Fuse with an iron, and trim the fabric leaving about a 1 cm seam allowance.

Sew around the keychain, insert the magnet, add the ring, close it up, and you’re done.

Because it contains a magnet, it’s handy to stick it to your entryway door.
