Crochet Pattern: Coin Purse Keychain
By Candace – 10 Comments| Here’s a keychain that has both form and function. It’s a cute miniature tote bag, and if you install a zipper or other fastener, you can use it as a coin purse. Try making a brightly colored one and using it to hold the change you need to feed the parking meter at the beach. |  |

I plan on crochet someof these….very pretty …I need to find a way to close it.. a zipper would be to small..I don’t think you can get a zipper that small….
If you’d like to use a zipper, you can always get a small zipper (like the invisible ones) and cut it to size.
how small can you get a zipper.
A button would be cool to close it.
two buttons would be cool maybe one on each side small ones….
Zippers come as small as 6 inches in sewing stores. They’re simple to shorten, lots of tutes on the internet to see how to do that.
Once a key is attached to a crochet key chain like the above, is there a way i can detach it without actually cutting the string/handle of the key chain?
To fasten the top, try those small circle velcro at the top
Another great idea: weave a string of yarn at the top around and tie ends to make a bow for the outside!
Hi, I tried this, but it became so much bigger than I thought ( 7 cm wide and 8 cm tall) , how can I make it smaller? Please
