Many thanks

You need 1 inch key fob hardware. I did a search and for a lot of 50 amazon is about $4 less than eBay if you get free shipping with amazon. eBay price includes shipping. I am not sure if amazon has smaller lots but eBay does and the person I ordered from does free shipping. I will probably go with amazon next time around thanks for sharing that tip princessMommy

Sorry about that!

Just search key fob hardware and Polypro webbing on Amazon. It's in the arts and craft section.

These are beautiful!!

One question, it must have been very heavy for you in your suitcase. Did you fly with them? I would of been worried to go over weight limit or worse breaking them

They are heavy especially since I made 100 coasters. I have a box that I am putting them in inside of a suitcase that will only have our fish extender gifts in it. Fortunately we live in Northwestern Florida about a 7 hour drive, so we will be driving, and we can keep better tabs on our luggage to make sure nothing gets broke. Had we been flying, I probably would have had to come up with something else.

Is there anyone out there that makes candy bar wrappers? I'm new to this and feeling a little overwhelmed!!

Each lanyard makes 4, 6" wristlets if you cut it correctly. I used a seam ripper to salvage an extra inch or two at the ends. (I cut my strips 12" long.) Stick webbing on the back with double-sided, no-sew, no-iron fabric tape. Then fold in half and clip together with the key fob hardware!

20 of 'em done in an hour!!!! Will be using this idea in all of my FE gifts in the future!

Thanks again!

These are beautiful, and I may well be copying your idea, so thank you. Am planning on buying some disney themed 1 icnh grosgrain ribbon though, as don't have any lanyards.

Just one question - why do you actually need the ribbon to line the reverse? Could you not just cut the lanywar/ribbon, fold over, then clamp the end with the keyfob hardware?

[3princessMommy]

I'm sure you could, but it wouldn't be as sturdy and it might skip out of the key fobs. Not sure. I like the webbing because it makes it feel more substantial. But the ribbon slides well across your skin.
