This is my church's 25th year of doing Awana. Man that makes me feel old!
I figured we needed super cool Awana thank you gifts for directors this year, but it is really difficult to find Awana themed gifts.
So I got creative and here's what I came up with: EASY to make Awana themed key fobs! All you need is 7/8" grosgrain ribbon (I used white, yellow, & patterns for Trek), light colored iron-on transfer paper, 1.25" cotton webbing (I used black, red, green, & blue), & the key fob hardware. I got my ribbon, webbing, & hardware off Etsy, but I've seen it at Hobby Lobby and Amazon and anywhere you can get crafty stuff.
Cubbies isn't pictured here because I was waiting on the blue cotton webbing to finish it.
The process is pretty simple - you print out the logos on iron on transfer paper (I've linked the page I made which is already reversed so it's ready to print and go). Then follow the directions on the iron-on paper to iron the logos onto ribbon.
Here are some of my ribbons freshly ironed. I should have cut the black lines off the edges of the Sparks one, but oh well.
Then, I stitched the ribbons down onto the cotton webbing with my sewing machine. All straight stitches and very quick! Then, stitch the two ends together to make a loop with the ribbon on the outside, and attach the key fob hardware with pliers over where you stitched the ends together!
Easy, Fast, But SO Cool Looking for a Special Thank You Gift for Awana Leaders or Directors.
