I used a prestained board I had from a previous project. You can keep this natural, stain or paint it. 

  • Grab your pliers, keychain and a pretty tassel. ( This set was bought from amazon.)
  • Now use your pliers to open the ring, loop the bear through.
  • And then open another ring and loop the tassel through.
  • And you're all done!
