Keychain parts

[Texasbeachbum]

I am not sure if this is the right forum to put this or not. Does anyone know where I can get just the part of a keyring kit that the ring fits in? I have a bunch of antler ends that I want to make into key rings. I hate to pay $2 a kit for keychain kits just to use one part out of them.

Try Michael's Arts & Crafts or Hobby Lobby Stores.

any hardware store will have screw eyes. drill a hole and epoxy one in.

That's what I do Bob...works well!

If you have a metalworking lathe, you can just make your own.

Thanks for making me think. That sounds like a great ideal.

If I owned the factory where they make the things I would just have them send me over a bunch of them.

most hardware stores including our local Ace hardware also have the rings to go with the screw eyes. i go to flea mkts. so i have had good luck in finding the rings very cheap. usually they have some advertising on a tag but i throw that away and just use the rings.
