Soda Pop Top Keychains

Part two of the gifts I gave my Inking Everything downline who attended the Regional training seminar at Stampin' Up! this weekend.
 
 
They could be used as keychains or scissor charms.

 
Soda Pop Tops, Crystal Effects, 1" Circle Punch

 
Edited To Add:  Many of you have e-mailed and asked how I attached the chain.  First, the chains are called ball key chains and I bought in the jewelry making department of the local craft store.  I attached the round bail plates, shown below, to the back of the soda pop top with E6000 glue and that allowed me to put the chain on them without poking a hole actually in the soda pop top.

Mini, Mini Milk Cartons

I wanted to make milk cartons that were more square than rectangle, so I shortened them a bit!

 
I didn't take any photos but I can tell you what I did.  Cut a milk carton using the Mini Milk Carton Die.  Place the top of it on the 3" mark on your paper cutter and score the full length of the cardstock.  Then take the bottom, where the carton closes and cut 1/2" off.  With your scissors, cut the bottom flaps up to the new score line and fold into shape.

 
These were this months thank you's for my stamp club girls.
 
Cardstock: Whisper White, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and Soft Suede.
Stamp Set: Spring Sampler, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories:  Mini Milk Carton Die, Big Shot, 1" Circle Punch, 7/8" Scallop Punch

Soda Pop Top Scissor Charms

I just love it when I get a box in the mail from BFF. 
 
I never know what it's going to be. *Ü*  Isn't this cute?
Such a darling use for the Soda Pop Tops in the Spring Catalog.

 
Edited to ADD:  The chain is attached to a jewelry finding that is glued on the back.  Kind of like what your necklace/chain would hang from.  You can find these in the jewelry aisle of any craft store.
