A Little Bit Wrist Key!
I had this idea for an easy to make practical and useful key ring, one that you can just slide over your wrist to keep both hands free. A piece of personal safety advice from the police is " Always have your keys out and ready as you approach your house or your car. Fumbling through your handbag for keys after you've reached your car provides criminals an excellent opportunity to sneak up on you." Not wanting to create paranoia but this key ring solves that particular problem! To make the key rings I deconstructed a fluorescent orange high visibility vest. One I made from the fluorescent fabric (this one is so bright you couldn't fail to see it) and one in the reflective grey fabric (be seen at night!). With a piece of the fabric measuring approximately 5 cm x 52 cm (2" x 20") make a tube. Threaded 2 mm (1/2") wide elastic through it (like making a hair scrunchie!) The length of the elastic will depend on the size of your wrist, measure and cut accordingly. Sew it together and just inserted a split ring. You can make them in any fabric, I also made one in tartan.
