Abstract
Abstract A method of making a decorative attachment for a key ring wherein a plastic base material is embroidered with a plurality of side-by-side decorative designs. The plastic base material is thereafter laminated at the back side thereof with a plastic finish by heat sealing, after which the base material is cut into a panel having mirror symmetrical panel sections separated by a narrower neck section. The die cut panel is thereafter folded midway of the neck section whereby the panel sections are in juxtaposed relation with the peripheral edges thereof being overedged, leaving the neck section periphery unsecured to define a passageway for insertion therein of a key ring.
