Hello!! I’ve made a ton of alpha keychains. I give them as gifts, and I have quite a few for myself. I’ve noticed that, if they are on keys or are moved around a lot, they can curl up or become less stiff after a little while. Is there a way to reinforce it and give it support? I’ve thought about felt, but is it okay to glue it on the back? If anyone has any suggestions, I’m open to anything!! Thank you!

You could always make a back for the alpha, or also, i like to make my keychain knot tension tighter, and my bracelets looser. I also got like a stiff backing from hobby lobby, it was a sort of stiff fabric made out of threads; sort of like a paracord type thing. 🙂

some people (including me) sometimes use stiffer material like nanocord to weave bracelets for keychains or anything that needs to stay sturdy! (also makes finishing the bracelet much easier as u just need a lighter and two seconds to seal knots). and yes, like already mentioned by another user, backings are a great option! along with that, this is more time consuming but you can go ahead and weave the same pattern twice and then sew them together to have a firmer piece thats also two sided!

I would try to iron your keychain on a low-medium heat setting.
