Key fobs

[dixiechicken]

I want to make some Key fobs out of ribbon. Does anyone know where I can buy the little metal part without having to order. I want to put some in the Teacher's Lounge at school, but I'm afraid if I order, they won't get here in time. Only 2 more weeks--after this week--until break!!!!!:D

I have never found any in my local stores. I have ordered them on Ebay and had rather good luck with delivery being quick.

Thanks! I'll check there then.

Are you looking for the metal ring? Or the rectangular part that goes over the end ?

ETA: Thought I'd come back and add this now ~ this site (http://www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=KEYFOB) has the stuff you are looking for and I can post that since they don't have embroidery designs. ;) I can't say that I've ever found those things in any stores around me either.

Thanks for that site. Love the directions too! I found some on ebay last night. I paid $11.00 plus $5.00 shipping for 30 key fobs. Hope that was okay!! I'm crossing my fingers they ship out today!

One more question. Can I get cotton webbing at a local fabric store, or does that need to be ordered too?

dixiechicken......I saw lots of it at Hobby Lobby the other day when I was buying ribbon. They had like 15 different colors. Didn't look at the price, didn't think I needed any.

I don't know where to buy them in stores, but I always order mine from Etsy. Sadly my supplier stopped selling.

Those are neat, that's the first time I have seen them. What a great little gift.

Yea, they're all over Etsy, selling for about $5.00-$6.50 or so. Very cute, and great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts!

I know the nylon webbing is being sold in a lot of places now so you should find that easily in a local store. For sure you'd find black I would think. The cotton webbing though may be a bit harder to find without ordering from somewhere. I know that my ex used to go to the Army/Navy store (closed now) and they sold the army green cotton webbing to make your own belts because he liked that style of belt. If you have a store near you like that then you can get an Army green. :D

The nylon webbing though is being made in tons of really cute colors and even plaids and other neat designs. The site I posted has only two colors of the cotton, but they do carry it.

I purchased mine from ebay and they shipped quickly too---I received them in about 3 days!!!!!

I ordered some from ebay too, and they came VERY quick! I bought some webbing from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's, and it is only an inch instead of an inch and a quarter. So, the hardware is a little wide, but I still think it looks ago. After the holidays calm down, I'm going to order some webbing from the same place I got the hardware.
