This keychain is made with a simple square knot and your favorite cord.
Fold two 3.5' pieces of cord and attach to a keyring- so there are 4 pieces of cord hanging down. When you fold & attach the cord, make sure that the two innermost pieces of cord are half the length of the outermost pieces of cord.
Tape or clip down the two shorter center pieces of cord. I also clipped down the top of the keyring to a clipboard to hold it in place. Take the left outer string and cross it over the two center strings and under the right outer string. This will create a loop in the shape of a number 4.
Take the right outer string and bring it behind the two center strings, and then up & through the loop of the 4.
Pull both outer strings tight up against the previous knots.
Repeat steps 2-4, but this time start from the right side. Now you have one square knot. Repeat steps 2-4, switching from left to right each time.
You can add beads at any point. Choose a large hole bead and slide it onto the two center strings. Continue tying square knots below the bead.
When your keychain is your desired length, take all 4 pieces of cord & tie a knot. Slide a bead onto the very end of the pieces of cord and place a drop of glue beneath the beads to hold them in place.
