Here is a step by step DIY on how you can make Reversible mermaid key chains!

Introduction:

To start you will need about a 5/8″ by 50 cut of the 2840 Mermaid Reversible Fabric from Stylish Fabric  https://www.stylishfabric.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=2840 You can chooses any color you like to make this project but I picked the Green and Blue one.

The split key ring for the chain. I bought them all from Wal-Mart https://www.walmart.com/ip/100-Piece-Silver-Tone-Metal-28mm-Outside-Diameter-Split-Key-Rings/46030987

And last but not least the Rivets and Setter Kit that I purchased from my local Michael’s Craft Store http://www.michaels.com/artminds-rivet-and-setter-kit/10043803.html?mkwid=se4vS5LMj|pcrid|102012703992|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|prd|10043803&cm_mmc=zadv_PLASearch-_-google-_-Crafts+%26+Hobbies-_-Leather+Crafting&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Crafts+%26+Hobbies&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=se4vS5LMj|pcrid|102012703992|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|prd|10043803

My name is Alexandra Ramos but most people call me Alex for short. I just finished High School not too long ago and I work in the fashion industry of Downtown Los Angeles. You're probably wondering "She's so young." or "What would she know about fashion or writing blogs?" Well, that's what this blog is about. I learned a lot from my senior year Photojournalism class, learning how to take photos properly, using photoshop, how to get peoples attention with your articles, and I can go on and on about how the class was really good for me in helping me get this job, but this would literally turn into a book if I continued. But, my goal for this blog is to help designers like you find materials for projects and hopefully inspire any future designers out there. At the same time I can learn more about the fashion industry as I write these blogs. I plan to study Journalism in college and fashion design to make this blog more better and creative as time goes on. Hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do.
