Key Keeper/Fob

[caliban]

I don't like the feeling of a bunch of keys bulging in the depths of my pocket, so I've been using an old bow string looped around my belt with my keys attatched. Got fed up with untying it, so i made one of these with some twisted linen thread cordage and a slice of backgarden yew.

Dead easy, and handy too!

My wife's on holiday, so I've been going a bit amateur craftastic at the moment, I'd be delighted if anyone would take a look at my blog

Nice one. I do something similar with antler crown disks but that is nice and simple.

That's really simple and clever. Fascinating reading at your blog too. Those insoles are genius! And that Skandi sheath cheat is well impressive. I need to make myself one of those soon and your idea just got pinched for it. Thenk-yoop!

Hey thanks guys! I think it's the yew button that sets it of really. I lucked out on that with having a yew tree at the bottom of my garden. It'd look cool with an antler tip though. Biker, thanks for looking at my blog mate, like everyone I'm a big fan of your artwork.

Cheers!

I like the blog which has some neat ideas and projects in it, such as the Indian Drill that I want to make one day.

I have been thing of a may of keeping my keys from banging around at the bottom of my pocket & to stop them scratching things like phones. There are also times when I am out in the woods, in meadows or on the water when I would want the keys secured to me as finding them again would often be a nightmare... I usually end up putting them inside a zipped compartment of a coat etc.. I might try this when I get home as I have all the bits to hand.
