Finally, securely attach the metal split ring to the center top of the assembly, pulling all yarn tails inside the base.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Maintain tight, even tension so fiberfill stuffing remains completely hidden between stitches.
Use 100% mercerized cotton yarn for optimal stitch definition and long-lasting durability.
Double-knot all interior embroidery threads securely before final assembly to withstand daily keychain handling.
