While some may choose to purchase designer key rings, there is an alternative. You can make your own key ring to highlight your own personal style.

Tips & Warnings
When selecting beads for your horseshoe key ring, choose beads with a hole measuring at least 2.5 mm to fit onto the key ring.
Remember, key rings are often treated quite roughly. Do not place any bead or charm on your key ring that you think may not withstand the rigors of key ring usage.
