A key fob set with more to look at

A lot of key fob designs are built around a plain outline and one center shape. This set has more going on in a small space. I made it as two different western-themed pieces, a horse with fluffy fringe hair and a horseshoe, so you can stitch a matched pair or pick the one that fits your project better. The finished size stays right around 3 1/3 inches, which keeps it easy to carry on keys, backpacks, and zipper pulls.

The other thing that sets this one apart is the included finish options. You get an eyelet version for a 4x4 hoop and a snap tab version for 5x5 and 5x7 hoops. That gives you a smaller hardware style or a folded tab style without needing to hunt for a separate listing.

If fringe is the part catching your eye, this design is made for that soft, fluffy look in the horse hair. I also included a PDF with lots of photos showing the key fob technique, so you are not left guessing how to put the project together after the stitching is done. There is also a quick video for this project if you want a fast visual look before you start.
