Denim Feather Keyring

To celebrate the launch of the book I have written with my daughter, Kimberley Hind, we'll show you how to refashion your scraps of old denim and turn them into chic feather keyrings!

Do you have torn-up jeans, or scraps of denim that aren’t quite large enough to make into larger homewares or garments? These simple-to-make feathers make an effective keyring accessory for bags, and are great for making use of awkward-sized denim scraps.

Kimberley and I are delighted to launch our first book together, called Refashion, Restyle, Restitchout now! Don’t forget your great member's discount on all my books, which you can find on the 'Books' page of this website.
