Learn how to make a fairy flower keychain using a faux flower bud, wooden bead, embroidery floss, craft wire, and keychain hardware. This whimsical craft works as a bag charm, backpack accessory, or handmade gift.
- Prep the wire and keychain
Cut a piece of craft wire and attach it to the keychain ring by twisting it securely around the metal ring. This is the part where we create the tiny floral infrastructure.
- Add the flower dress
Pick a small faux flower bud for the fairy’s body. Rosebuds work especially well because they already look like a tiny floral dress and are doing a lot of the work for you. Slide the faux flower bud onto the wire so it hangs below the keychain ring. Congratulations, your fairy now has a very respectable little outfit.
- Make the fairy face
Draw a simple face and hairline on the wooden bead, then add embroidery floss for hair. Go for sweet and whimsical, not tiny haunted Victorian child.
- Put it all together
