Thanks! Fairly easy to make… I thought… from materials readily available from Amazon or Michael’s

For each key fob, you will need
  1. 5 pieces x 7” ribbons
  2. Key ring
  3. Leather twine
Gather ribbons, wrap around key ring, secure with leather twine… et voila!

For the journals, you will need
* Blank notebooks
* Modge Podge (glue)

Measure and Cut the paper bags about 0.5 cm larger than your book… centering the pattern you’d like to use… Glue and cut excess… done

For the Luggage Tags, I used the top end of the shopping bag (with the cardboard lining)… cut to size… glued dried flowers on one side, kitschy travel stickers on the other… then used Modge Podge to seal both sides, working on one side at a time

Punched a hole in each, covered the hole with a rivet, then threaded the shopping laces.

And there you have it! Easy-peasy, right?
