Hotaru's tf plush keychains

I'm in a bit of a sewing frenzy at the moment so I've decided to combine my new hobby with my love of transformers.
I'm working on a prototype at the moment, so picture this a little smaller with a small chain coming out.

does anyone know where I can get small chains for making key rings?

its Jazz! Cool!

Try going to $2 shops or the Reject Shop. They don't really sell the chain by itself but you may find very cheap key rings that do have them.

I'd buy one.

I have been regretting missing out on the companion cube plushies for ages :( TF plushies similar to it would certainly make me feel better :)

You can try to go to hobby/craft stores like Lindcraft, or as previously stated - 2$ shops like Reject shop.

The missus gets all her rings, pins and chains from beading stores, or art supply stores. Can be huge differences in prices between the little beading stores,a dn the art stores (who charge an arm and a leg for anything)

Sometimes Spotlight and Lindcraft have useful stuff for decent prices, but they are very hit and miss.

And roller, your spelling of crochet cracked me up!

Thanks, glad you like Jazz.
Blurr shouldn't be too hard depending on which version of Blurr you had in mind.

thank you guys I'm glad you like my Jazz, I'll be putting him in Keychain form soon.

I made this for Genechan for her birthday, basically after discussing Blurr she came up with an idea to make cube Blurr from TFA
As you can see he is not too happy with Shockwave compacting him into a cube lol.

He took me a day to make and I have discovered watching invader Zim while gluing his eyes on was a bad idea.....stupid hot glue gun >.<
