Casa Loma Craft - GGC Key Chain

Casa Loma Craft - GGC Key Chain

Everyone received this craft but not everyone had time to put it together.
Here are photos of what your key chain should look like when it is completed.

Start by folding the yarn in half.
Loop it through the key ring.
Add your colour beads and lettered beads.
We put the letters in the order GGC for Girl Guides of Canada.
If you'd like to be a bit "retro", you could put them as CGG which is what was used 50 years ago in 1960 for Canadian Girl Guides.

I love the 100th Anniversary bead!

When you've added all your beads, make a knot so the beads don't fall off.

And you're done!

Hang it from your back pack, add to your camp hat, or pin onto your badge scarf - whatever you choose!

Another memory of our trip to Casa Loma to take part in the Launch of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Guides of Canada in 2010!

I'm from the 1st Acton Brownies and we would love to make this key ring. Our only problem is that we can't locate the bottom "100" bead. Would you know where we could purchase them.
Thanks
Charlene

Hi Charlene,
We received that bead as part of a kit at Casa Loma. GGC put together the kits so someone at National or Ontario should know where more can be available.
They are nice, aren't they? I hope they become available to everyone.
