Not gonna lie, this one was kind of a pain to make.
Could I have made it easier on myself? Absolutely.
Did I choose to be extra and not only use two kinds of satin, but to finish the edges so they wouldn't fray? Yes. Yes, I did.
I love the clean, polished look of this. These colors? *Chef's kiss!* It may have been a pain to work with, but I'm so happy I lucked out with finding two different kinds of satin from the same thrift store. Note for anyone looking for cheap satin to experiment with: go to your local thrift store and check out Domestics for pillow cases and Women's Apparel/Pajamas for robes.
Yep. That royal blue satin? From a set of pillow cases. It's the kind of material that you have on your *nice* pillows. And the ice blue satin? From a robe, and let me tell you, when I'm reading a book and the FMC puts on a fancy dress made of silk/satin that "feels like a river" flowing down their body? This is the material I imagine. (Also realizing how weird that phrase actually is.) The white is a simple jersey knit that I used for all of the lanyards in the Sailor Moon collection, because I wanted a through-line, something they all had in common, just like their uniforms.
This lanyard, inspired by the beloved manga series, is perfect for attaching to keys and ID cards. Whether at work or at school, the white cotton and ice blue and royal blue satin give this practical accessory a polished look.
