I know I said “next week” in the last tutorial on how to make a cellphone lariat, but this is soooo easy I put it up today. This is the tutorial for the lanyard, the charm seen here was prepared via my How to Make a CellPhone Charm tutorial. You could easily use one of these guys as a zipper pull as well.

Anyway.

The ingredients: One elastic hair tie (any color), one split ring, one charm.

I told you this was going to be easy!

Thread the hair tie through the elastic.

Pull one end of the hair tie through the other.

Pull the hair tie tight.

… could it get any easier? Well, I suppose I could come over to your house and do it for you…

And here’s the finished product. Just thread your charm onto the split ring and you have a nice, stretch cellphone charm or zipper pull.
