Directions For Valentine Mini Book Keychain

Step 1: Gather the materials needed

Step 2: Cut a small rectangle from the pink sponge paper

The dimension of this should be at least 4 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide.

Step 3: Cut a white strip of felt

Cut a strip of white sponge paper that is at least 2 centimeters wide.

Step 4: Cut it into three pieces

Cut the strip into three pieces of 3.5 to 4 centimeters long for each.

Step 5: Fold the three white rectangles equally

Step 6: Cut a small, thin strip of pink sponge paper

Align the three folded white sponge papers together and glue the thin pink strips on the folded parts of the whites.

Step 7: Add the pink sponge for a book cover

Wrap and fold the pink rectangle sponge paper on the folded white sponges equally. Use the short, thin strip from the former step as a reference to the middle part of the mini-book.

Step 8: Cut a white square of felt

Cut a small white square that is about 1-centimeter by 1-centimeter in size.

Step 9: Add a heart

Cut a small heart from the red sponge paper and glue it on the middle of the small white square.

Step 10: Cut a very thin strip of white sponge paper

The dimensions of this should be at least 2 to 3 centimeters long and a ½ centimeter wide.

Step 11: Combine the heart and the book

Glue the white square with the heart on one end of the thin white strip. Glue the free end or the opposite end of the strip to the back, middle part of the miniature book. This should be placed on the back opening cover of the book and should perfectly fit when the square heart is folded towards the front face of the book.

Step 12: Add Velcro

Cut a small piece of black Velcro that would fit the think white strip. Glue the Velcro in the middle of the book’s front face and the other piece on the end of the white, thin strip.

Step 13: Bend the copper wire into a circle

Create a small circle from the copper wire using the round long nose pliers.

Step 14: Insert the copper wire

Insert the circular wire on the topmost part of the miniature book on the base bind of the book itself.

Step 15: Add the crochet thread

Cut at least 5 centimeters long crochet thread and insert this on the circular wire. Create a loop at the ends of the thread.

Step 16: Done and ready to be placed on the bag zipper!

You have the option to use a keyring instead of using a crochet thread as a hanging device for this cute miniature keychain. This is a cool gift especially if your other half loves collecting miniature objects or items.

Otherwise, this can be used on any bag or even on house keys, given that you will use a key ring for this. Hope you liked it!
