Sign up and come to the Springfield Library on December 15th to learn how to make your very own Christmas tree keychain!  Register here, on the Library Events Calendar.  NOTE: Registration is required for this event. Please only register for one time so others may have the opportunity to participate.

Can’t make it in? Take & Make Craft Kits will be available for pick-up at the Springfield Library after the program. Come get them while supplies last! If you already have the supplies at home, simply follow the instructions below to make your own.

Step 1: Gather the Materials  

In order to make a Christmas tree keychain you will need the following items:

Step 2: Add a Keyring

Add a keyring to the center of your craft lace. Make sure that the craft lace is equal in length on both sides.

Step 3: Stringing Beads

To begin making your Christmas tree you need to string one green bead to the center of your craft lace (underneath the keyring). To string the beads, put both ends of the craft lace through the bead and pull! Keep stringing the beads in the following pattern:

NOTE: As you string the beads, you may have to move them around to get them to lay correctly. If you cannot get them to lay completely flat, that’s okay!

Step 4: Secure the Beads

After stringing all of the beads, you will need to center the brown beads and secure them by tying 2-3 knots.  

Step 5: Display Your Creation

Clip your Christmas tree keychain to your keys and/or your backpack! 😊

Hello everyone! I'm Brianna and I am a Youth Services Library Assistant at the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Working at the library is a dream come true! There is nothing better than being surrounded by books all day long. It is perfect! When I'm not at the library, I spend most of my time playing with my son, Dean, and my three dogs! I have two huskies, Strider and Oakley, and one boxer named Izzy. They keep me pretty busy, but whenever I have a spare moment there is a YA novel in my hands. I am always looking for my next great read!
