Keychains

I used keychains as gift tags this year, since the keychains would be particular enough to signify whose present was whose. The four keychains for my sisters came out quite nicely, even if I did get the last two done at the last minute, needle felting the eyes on just before finishing the elephant. Also, I found two more felting needles I didn't know I had in my stash. Would have been much more helpful a couple of weeks ago!
