Wood Ring Key Chain

This key chain is made from a 3" wooden ring that has had a screw eye and split ring added to it. Actually this would make a great bazaar item. It is fairly quick to make and very inexpensive as well.

Materials Needed
Small amount luster sheen. Rose was used in the example.
Size C/2 2.75mm aluminum crochet hook
1 wooden ring 3" x .5"
power drill
1/16" drill bit
1 Screw Eye .5"
1 small split key ring

Yarn Thickness 2mm
Gauge: 6sc = 1"
Finished Size: 3.5" diam
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions
Drill hole into wooden ring anywhere on the outside of it. Screw the screw eye into it. Put ring onto screw eye. (You can order a ring with all of this already done if you like. Just email me for details.)

RND 1: Tie yarn onto ring just to the left of the screw eye. Sc in ring. *Ch3. 2sc in ring. Rep from * until wooden ring is completely filled. I did not count how many times. Just repeat it until you fill it up. Then join w/slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave ends into work.

You can use worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn and an H/8 5mm aluminum hook for faster, more bulky results.

Pretty Gift Tags
The holidays are approaching faster than you think. Get out your old Christmas cards and cut them into circles and squares and punch 1/8" holes around the outside edge and crochet an edging on them using basic sc and picots. These make attractive gift tags and can be used on the recipients Christmas trees in the future. If you get really ambitious, you can cut two cards exactly the same, put the wrong sides together, punch the holes together then start to crochet the two together but when you get within the last inch or so, stuff the inside with any type of stuffing then continue crocheting until it is closed. This will make a 3D type of ornament. You may even want to use basic cookie cutters to make the shapes. This is also a fun thing to get the kids involved in doing.
