Miniature Stuffed Animal Bag Charm Keychain
I stumbled on a miniature bear stuffed animal at the thrift store. He was so cute! He reminded me of the stuffed animal teddy bear I was obsessed with as a kid. I decided I wanted to attach it to my tote bag as a nod to my favorite stuffy.
Once I clipped it onto my bag, I was obsessed and wanted to make more. I found old McDonald’s beanie baby toys so I made more bag charms and keychains and attached them to everything!
These instructions are the easiest way I could turn a mini stuffed animal into a bag charm keychain. I’ve had no problems (so far… i hope i didn’t just jinx myself), with them falling off.
