Personalized for Mom Keychain

Moms love to get personalized gifts from their kids.  What can be more personalized than a keychain with a personal message?  Your mom will cherish this gift for many years.

  • Alphabet beads
  • Colorful beads
  • Special colorful charm
  • Keychain ring

  2. Determine what message you want to put onto your keychain.
  3. Thread the top string with color beads.
  4. Start with the first word of your message.  Place colorful beads in between the words of your message.

  6. Start beading the other string.  Continue to add colorful beads in between words of your message.
  7. While holding the two ends of the cord together, thread one last bead into both strings.  Run the string through the bead again and loop it through the top and pull it tight.
  8. Tie on the charm to the end of the string.  Knot it several times and trim the ends.  Be sure you do not trim it too close.
