Description
This handmade worry doll amulet keyring pairs a tiny woven cotton pouch with mini worry doll detail on the front, all hung from a metal ring and short chain. Each one is made by hand in Guatemala, so the weave, stripes and thread colours vary from piece to piece. The worry doll work is made from cotton thread and a natural fibre called cibaque, and it stands about 1.5cm tall against the striped cotton of the bag. Overall the keyring measures about 8.5cm long and is around 3cm wide and 3.5cm high, small enough to sit happily alongside your keys. This is an assorted line: we send one design chosen at random, so the pattern and colours you receive will be a surprise.
It suits house keys, a car key, the zip of a gym bag or the handle of a backpack. A bright splash of colour like this helps you find what you are looking for in a hurry. Because it is so light, it adds no real bulk to a pocket or handbag, and the soft pouch gives a plain set of keys a cheerful, handmade look. It also makes a lovely small present for a friend who could use a smile, tucked into a card or added to a parcel as a thoughtful extra.
The pouch is woven from cotton thread and gathered at the top with a tied cord. The ring and chain are metal, so the keyring slips easily onto a bunch of keys or threads through a bag loop. As with any handmade textile, look after it gently: brush away dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of the rain, because cotton thread and natural fibre are happiest kept dry. Clip it to your own keys for a daily dose of colour, or pop it into a gift bag for someone you would like to cheer.
