Keyring

Using a yarn needle and the same tan yarn you used for your crust, sew the keyring onto the pizza.

Make sure not to cinch up your stitches too tightly, or else your keyring won’t be able to swing or twist as it’s being used.

I like to make several open loops with my yarn passing through the keyring to make sure it’s sturdy enough while still being able to swing and twist appropriately.
