Flower keychain made with cord

[100-Yen DIY] Easy: Made a Flower Keychain with Color Cord 🌼 | Daiso

Color cords are often used for drawstring bags, but you can actually make an adorable flower keychain with them too.

To make it, thread the color cords through the hardware, then braid three different colored cords in sequence.

It looks complicated at first, but it’s just a repeated process—once you get the hang of it, it goes smoothly.

The key point is to pull tight as you braid so there aren’t any gaps between the cords.

Since you’re using color cord, it’s sturdy and not easily broken, which is reassuring.

This piece is charming with its fluffy texture and the warmth that only handmade items have—give it a try!

All you need is origami paper and glue—even if you’re not confident with crafts, it’s OK! Using 15 cm × 15 cm origami paper yields a palm-sized pouch.

Since it’s made by layering the paper, it’s reasonably sturdy too, which is a nice bonus.
