I finally tried out printing on fabric!! I'm lovin' how cool this is! I followed Creative "Try"als instructions which are very easy. It did smear a little at the top but the graphic itself was fine and in the end it didn't matter. {You'll see in a little bit. ☺}
My church's annual Women's Retreat is this month and I'm helping my Mom put together some goodie bags and saw some cute keychains on Pinterest that inspired me.

Let's get started!
Supplies:
The only thing I had to buy were the key rings so this is almost a $0 cost project!! Although I do need to make a total of 21, I will have to buy more felt but still, total cost for 21 will probably be around $5 I'm guessing! Yay me!!
I used freebie graphics from Shery K Designs. I had to shrink it down a little. This is half of a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of fabric.
I then cut a 3 inch by 3 inch square piece of paper to use as a guide and cut out a chandelier, a piece of felt, and a piece of fabric.
Next I cut about a 3 inch piece of bias tape. {This is not sewn yet.}
Before sewing it all together, I used pinking shears and trimmed the top edge only for now. Then placed the bias tape back with one end behind the muslin and the other end in front of the fabric....so the felt is in between the ends.
Sewed around the edges and then trimmed the remaining edges with the pinking shears.
Inserted key ring and done!
Ah! I love how they turned out! The felt provides just enough stiffness but it's still light weight so it's not going to add bulk to your keys!! And this was so easy! The best kind of craft!

And here!....
Happy Thursday!!
