Quick Embroidery Floss Tassel

Nate and I have our spare key all alone in a dish by the door where it is destined to be lost. I know a key chain doesn't keep a key from getting lost (if only!) but a colorful key chain will distinguish it from any other random keys we have floating around and make it easier to spot if it gets misplaced.

This is a fairly quick and simple project. It takes almost no materials. A key ring (or two), a tapestry needle (I think mine is size 18 or 20), scissors, and 1 skein of embroidery floss (or two for contrasting colors). I'm not sure how durable this key chain is, but on a spare it will be lightly used so I think it will hold up for a while.

I chose gold and dark teal threads.	Remove the labels and double up the loop
Tie a piece of thread around the top of the loop.	Double knot it.
Wrap one side of the thread around several times.	It will look like this (still with two tails).
Tie the two tails in a double knot.	Thread both tails in a needle.
Weave them up through the binding part and clip.	Snip the loops open and trim.
My top is a little wonky. No prob.	Thread some tassel color thread.
Weave it through the top loop and tie.	Slip on a ring.
Double knot the ring on..	Thread both tails in the needle.
Weave it back down through the binding.	Clip to the length of the other tails.
Tada!!	I added a larger ring to fit on a hook if needed.
