DIY - CUTE KAWAII CANDY KEYCHAINS

My daughter's 9th birthday is coming up and boy do we both love a craft party!  But are 9 year olds into toilet paper and pipe cleaner crafts still?  I decided to raise my party crafting game with something a little more hi brow for her and her friends and these Cute Kawaii Candy Keychains do the 

 

Materials

Cute Kawaii Candy Keychains Materials

* PVC plastic sheet (I purchased this tablecover from Amazon) cut into 5" x 4.5" pieces

* Kawaii Acrylic and Polymer Clay faux candies from Happy Kawaii Supplies  Etsy shop

* Keychain holders from Happy Kawaii Supplies or VeryCraftEtsy

* Jump Rings from VeryCraftEtsy

* Decorative Washi Tape from your local craft store

* Colorful grommet kit from Amazon (optional)

* Paper (to protect your Hair Straightener)

Tools:

* Glue Tape

* Scissors

* Needlenose Pliers

* Pinking Shears (optional)

* Hair Straightener

* Hammer (only used for grommet kit)

* Hole Punch

 

Instructions

Kawaii Candy Keychains Step 1

Along the short side of one end of the PVC sheet, run a line of glue tape.

 

Kawai Candy Keychains Step 2

Starting with the unglued side of the PVC sheet, fold towards the middle.  Do the same with the glue taped side and press together to seal.  

 

Kawaii Keychains Step 3

Taking your piece of paper, fold over one open end of the PVC sheet to sandwich the PVC between the paper.  This is to protect your hair straightener from getting plastic melted on it.

 

Kawaii Candy Keychain Step 4

Clamp the hair straightener to seal the open plastic end together.  I recommend sealing only 1cm of the end but this is up to you!  Make sure the paper is covering all parts of the PVC plastic so you don't ruin your straightener.  I used the lowest heat setting, but it's worth it to do some tests to figure out which heat setting will melt the plastic.

 Kawaii Candy Keychain Step 6

Fill your package with candy!  It is best to not overfill - I suggest doing a single layer so that each candy is visible.  You'll also want to make sure you can seal the bag shut! 

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 7

Now seal the other end of the package using the paper and hair straightener to seal your candy bag shut!

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 8

With your decorative washi tape, cover the sealed ends of the candy bag and wrap the washi tape around to the other side.  

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 9

Your candy package should look like this now!

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 10

Using your pinking shears, trim a decorative edge along the tops of the washi tape.  Pinking shears are optional - you can always just cut your own decorative end by doing a zig zag cut, or just trim with straight scissors to make a clean edge.

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 11

Using your hole punch, punch a hole at one corner of the candy bag.

 

Kawaii Keychain Step 13

*Optional Step* Install the grommet using your grommet set an hammer.

You can skip the step.  Grommets just give the hole a "finished" look but you can otherwise just move forward with a hole punched hole.

 

Kawaii Keychains Step13

Using your needlenose pliers, add the plastic keychain holder and attach onto the hole of the candy package.  Here, we've added some cute dangly things like beads and tassels.  This is of course optional.  Linking the tassels and beads.

 

 

Kawaii Keychains Final

Voila!  You can now attach your Cute Kawaii Keychain to your backpack or handbag!

There is perhaps nothing as iconic for Valentine's Day as those chalky, not-great-tasting, candy conversation hearts.  As ironic as this is, it has inspired us so much over the years, by way of parties, valentine cards and gifts.

PARTY ET CIE EVENTS - TERRAZZO - A MODERN GIRL'S PARTY

PARTY ET CIE EVENTS - TERRAZZO - A MODERN GIRL'S PARTY

Truth:  I have been dying to do a Terrazzo themed party for a while now.  It's making a comeback in interior design (did it ever really go away?) and I love the fun color palettes that are intrinsic to the creation process.  My sweet first baby was celebrating her 11th year around the sun, which in my books makes her officially a pre-teen.  Gone now are the days of unicorns and princesses, so I wanted to throw her a party that was "mature" yet still playful, colorful and fun.  This was the perfect year to throw a Terrazzo party!
