Horse Head Key Fobs

[aoetken]

I came upon an old leather key fob on the keys of a vehicle I was detailing this past week and asked the owner if I could take it apart to see how it was made and then make a pattern. I offered to put the original back together and then also make her a new one. I made 3 of them with mixed results. The original is in the upper right hand corner of the first picture.

Love it :D

Would like to see one taken apart too. These are adorable and I would like to sell them at my Farmers Mkt this summer if you don't mind. Cheryl

Theses are GREAT! well done and so inventive and crafty! I too would like to see how you done these!

I have a pile of miniature BITS that would be great as the rings between them and the keys!

So fun! I like yours better than the original, especially the tan one.

[aoetken]

Yes. I liked the way that one turned out too. Kinda' looks like a buckskin. It was done with light tone antique gel. The black one really turned out nice but the "tan" Fiebings one turned out looking reddish.

Very unique and cute! Nice!

very cool, don't suppose you made a pattern you would be willing to share

[rusticbob]

Wow, that looks spectacular. I would love to make one for my daughter, a horse lover, if you could share the pattern.

Those look really great. Congrats on being able to reverse engineer from the original. I love the tan one as well in the lower right. Great job once again.
