Materials Needed
- wine corks
- eyelets
- washers – Size depends on your cork. I like to find two sizes. One about the same size as the end of the cork and one a little smaller in a different metal tone
- Beads and/or charms
- head pins
- wire cutters
- small pliers
- E6000 Glue
- ring key holder
If you are using a ready made bead charm as shown below you won’t need the head pins.
Step 1: Add washers to the ends of the cork
The top and the bottom of the key chain is where we add the eyelets and 2 washers.
The key holder goes at the top and the beads and charms at the bottom.
Add some of the E6000 on the smaller washer and place it on top of the larger washer. I like to purchase the two different color washers. I think they look nice.
Glue both of these onto the ends of the cork. The washers are super cheap at the hardware store. I think .10 each for the silver ones and .06 each for the gold ones. The larger washers I used are 1 inch and the smaller one is 1/2 inch.
Step 2: Add the eyelets
Screw the eyelets into the top and the bottom of the cork.
Try to make them straight. I usually have one that is a little crooked. I don’t know why.
Step 3: Add the charms and beads
The bottom of the cork is where you get to add the fun stuff on the key chain.
I love to use a bead and a charm but you can use whatever you like at the bottom. This is where you can really personalize the cork key chains if you want.
Attach your fun stuff to the eyelet with jump rings.
This is what makes this so fun.
Step 4: Add the key ring
Add the key ring and it is all done. There are a couple of different kinds. Some are easier to add than others but all of them will work!
