A New Keychain for You

I really want to do a DIY for you but my camera got stolen so I'm just going to describe the process.

I found this bag clip/ keychain thing at free people but once again I was amazed by the price so here's an easier way to make one!

Free People $38


Materials:
Old Necklace
Snap Bolt Clip
Needle Nose Pliers

Directions: 
Cut the chain in various lengths and using the pliers pry open a link of the chain, it helps if you have a cheap necklace, like one from Forever 21. Attach the chain links to the snap bolt clip's base, you can buy one from a craft store for $2 or steal one from an old keychain. Attach a charm or maybe an earring with no match by bending the post around the chain, whatever you like! I wish I could show you mine, it's awesome.

BAM a $40 keychain free if you scavenge the house.

Urban Key Necklace

I was on the urban website tonight and I saw this.


It's cute but it's $24 seriously?! I have that exact same key from some handcuffs I got at dave and busters when I was little. It makes a great DIY but I don't see why anyone would EVER buy this. Save yourself the $24, even if you don't have any old keys laying around, we have boxes at my house, look in junk heaps at flea markets, once I found seven in one pile and the vendor only wanted a dollar for all of them. I love Urban to death but sometimes their products hit a nerve.
