How to Make a Personalised Keyring

Choose a name, and count the number of letters in it.

Jade has 4 letters, choose a 4-letter sized bar.

The bar comes with an extra-large-hole trimming bead.

Add a heavy jumpring, part number 847-7171.

Add a keyring, part number 840-0691.

Or you could use a dog clip, part number 840-7461.

Have the letters in a row in the correct order.

Slide the bar into the letters.

Make sure they are up the right way.

All the way to the end.

Check that it is spelled right.

Slide on the extra-large-hole bead that came with the keyring.

Now you are ready for that jumpring.

Slip it into the hole in the end of the bar.

Get that keyring ready.

And slip the end into the jumpring - you may have to open the jumpring a little more. Click to zoom in.

So you have the keyring, and the bar, inside the jumpring, ready to close. Here's another view of it.

You'll need 2 pairs of pliers to close that jumpring, it's strong. Click the picture for a large view.
