 Hi guys, how are you? Okay here in this video. We are going to make this cute little envelope Charm keychain thing So I made this for a specific reason at if you're watching this then you've already seen my video for the new positive affirmation cards and I said in that video I wanted to create a little something that I could hang from say my handbag or my cell phone case and to put a card in to take it with me the cards are meant to be kept in a bowl or a dish to pick one to carry around with you to encourage positive energy in your life you can have them as I plan on having them in the entryway to your house and your guests can take one they can leave one they can carry it around with them while they're in the house and then put it back in the bowl before they leave they can take it home with them but I wanted a little something that I could have on my bag or my cell phone case I could add my way out the door take it I could pick a card and I could put it in and then go I love this and it actually this would fit more than one card so this is what I came up with so I am going to hear cut away to actual footage of me making it so I have a pattern piece that I'm going to scan and I am going to include a link to it in the description below with some sort of written instruction note type thing at this point of filming this I haven't actually done it yet so I'll create something for you all the link will be in the description below and then you're going to take your pattern piece once you've printed it and cut it out and you're going to lay it on top of some fabric or felt in this case I used felt I didn't want anything that was going to unravel and I cut the piece out of felt and then I marked my notches with a pencil once I had it cut out I grabbed some embroidery floss and a needle and I blanket stitched the piece together folding the bottom flap up at the notches or at the marks and then blanket stitching the side seams closed and then going up and around the flap and then down the other side to stitch the other side closed that's your basic little envelope and that's the basic stitch as I was going down the second side I stopped about halfway down and you'll see me grab a hook out of my jewelry bits and stop and sew the hook on with the embroidery floss and then keep going because remember I said I want to have it hanging off of my keychain or my handbag then I went through some other bit jewelry bits and pieces that I have I pulled out some beads some jingle bells some tassels and I used beading thread to attach them to the other end other short end of our little envelope our little fabric envelope so we're going to start from the inside of the envelope with a knot we're going to go out we're going to go back in I really want to catch that knot I want to make sure it doesn't pull through so I'm going to catch that knot and pull it through knot and pull it through and create a little secure loop then bring the needle back out the edge of the envelope then I'm going to string all my beads on it and at the end of jingle bell I'm going to go back around the jingle bell and back up through all those beads back into the center of the envelope catching all those threads that are already on the inside and tying a knot think about what I'm saying and how I'm doing it because you really want to do it and you want to catch those threads the beading thread or regular sewing thread if that's what you're using is very thin and it's possible that as you're sewing or with time it would pull right out of the felt so really take some time and get them sewn on here I sewed one little cross charm from my stash of stuff on there it just felt right there's no particular reason some of the beads I used are beads from rose remaking crafts that my grandmother had when she passed away so that's why these are on here they have good energy and good mojo I love the jingle bells I love the sound of them I have another thing on my bag that has bells on it I really love the positive energy that I get from listening to the bells really love them so I also decided to include some tassels the little round metal piece that is under where the snap is I don't know what that is it's some kind of token or I don't know what it is it was in my grandmother's things so I sewed it on and then I put the snap in the middle I had one snap I think it's the only snap I have in my art room at least I had one I was going to put Velcro but I really wanted to snap anyway so then I also put another tassel on the flap and then it was done and here we'll cut back to the table and I really love it I can't wait to go out and hang it on my hand bag I'm really happy with the way it turned out if you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns about how I created the bag and I will at the appropriate time do a slow mo here of sewing the bead fringe on I really will zoom in as close as I can and you really need to start from the inside of the bag go out one side go back around and back into the inside catch that first knot to create a loop and pull it tight then go back out again to the outside string all your beads on including the jingle bell if you're going to put one then go back up through all the beads to the inside of your bag catching all those other previous threads and tying a knot now the one thing I did to this bag after it was all said and done is I put some glue on all the knots so that they're really pretty secure it's going to be hard for them to come undone now I can grab a card out of my bowl which lives on my sacred table and I can just grab a card at random one that feels right and which I did and put it in here it happens to be the one that says worthy and snap it shut and go hang it on my bag and I'm good to go so that's it I hope it gives you some ideas of what you can do I hope you enjoy the process if you have any questions comments or concerns of course leave them in the comment section of the video I promise I'll get back to you that's it for today don't forget to do the most important thing go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it talk about screwing up your own ending line holy cow don't forget to do the most important thing go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later bye guys
