How to Make a Natural Cork Envelope Wristlet Keychain Button Purse

We can’t help but love a good keychain – you can really make whatever shape you like, no reason needed!

This is a complete step-by-step tutorial with pictures and a video, and these type of envelope keychains make great gifts!

And the best part is that they're sustainable and eco-friendly, as they're made with natural cork fabric from Portugal, a cruelty-free alternative to animal leather that's extracted from the Cork oak trees:

• you’ll need to choose the cork fabric of your preference, snap buttons and metal hooks; 

• cut your envelope panels and strap panels as shown here;

• make sure the strap width and the d-ring on the hook sits well;

• stick together the two cut strap pieces;

• fold 1/2 inch allowance to the inside panel as shown;

• now make an edge stitch on the strap;

• now check if the strap is working well with the hook;

• fold the edges as shown and check the length;

• edge finish the strap before stitching the strap;

• first apply the bond solution;

• once the bond solution drys;

• then apply the edge color on the dried bond solution;

• now stick together the panels with the loops in the side;

• make sure the edges are neatly placed together and then stick them together;

• make an edge stick as shown;

• after you stitch the strap attach the hook;

• edge finish the enebelope similar to the strap edge; 

• now sew the snap buttons by hand neatly;

 Your cute little envelope keychain is now ready :)
