You can make custom printed key fobs with your logo!
Several times a year, I make these custom key fobs for different small companies or organizations, wanting an item they can resell for a fundraiser or to give as a gift to the employees. People are usually surprised that I can print logos onto fabric, but I'm going to teach you how easy it really is.
After all materials are purchased, the cost per finished piece is usually less than $1 each, making it a great fundraiser because they are fast and easy to make, and can be resold for $5-8 dollars each.
Materials:
key fob hardware
PhotoFabric in the orange pack/cotton twill (can be found in your local craft store like Joanns)
Invisible thread (optional)
Basic sewing supplies
Tutorial:
Cut your cotton webbing into 10 inch strips
Print your logo onto the PhotoFabric following the instructions for printing on the package
The easiest way to get your logo ready for print is to open a blank Word document.
Set the orientation to Landscape.
Click on "insert image" scroll down and click on "from file"
Resize your image so that the height is no bigger than between 3/4 to 1 inch. Right click on the image and select "copy" then right click again and select "paste" That will give you another image the same size. Repeat that until your logo is evenly spaced across a row.
You should be able to put 6 rows on each paper with approx. 1 inch space between rows.
Fold the edges under and iron. The easiest way to fold the edges is with a bias tape maker!
Put the printed fabric on top of your cotton webbing and sew down each side. You can use any color top thread, but I like to use invisible thread in the bobbin and white thread on top because I usually end up making multiple colors at once and don't want to change out my thread for every color change.
Sew across the bottom to secure the ends together. Trim off any hanging threads or printed fabric.
Clamp on the hardware with pliers or a hammer.
