INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut one (or two) paper pieces to the desired size of 1-1/4″ x 1-3/4″. Optionally, you can fussy cut an image and/or sentiment for layering.
- If needed, adhere the fussy cut image(s) to the front layer. Be mindful of the design on the back; sometimes, a single layer may suffice.
- If a pattern is required for the back, attach it to the reverse of the front piece.
- Insert your assembled image, front side down, into the larger section of the keychain. Note that the back piece has a small protrusion. Slide this into the bottom opening of the front piece and secure it by pressing down on the other end. Some adjustments may be necessary.
- If you are using a tassel, you can now slide it onto the ring part.
