Bongbongee Keychain
This pattern was designed based on the Seventeen mascot called Bongbongee and I made this to bring along my Caratland 2025 trip!
The finished keychain measures about 6.2 cm in width and 5.2 cm in height (not including the diamond)
I had a lot of fun making this keychain and I hope you will enjoy the pattern too.
FYI this pattern can also be found on my tiktok page!
