{Divergent-Inspired Bird Keychain}

Hey, y'all!  Last week I professed my new-found love for Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy with my Divergent-Inspired Dauntless Quote T-shirt.  Well, I found out that a couple of my bloggy friends are also in love with the series, so we decided to each come up with a Divergent-Inspired post to share today in honor of the movie's debut this week.  

I came up with this fun keychain that is soooo easy to make!

I started with an unfinished wooden rectangle from my craft supply stash.

Through a Google image search, I found a picture of Tris's bird tattoo, and I traced it with my Silhouette program.  I cut a stencil of the birds from card stock.

I used a stencil brush to paint the birds with black paint.  (The birds should then be sealed with Mod Podge, clear spray paint, or some other type of clear coat.)

Then I drilled a hole in the top of the rectangle.

I used my pliers to attach a jump ring through the hole of the rectangle.  Then I threaded a key ring through the jump ring.  Well, we're going to pretend that it's a key ring.  It's actually a book ring, but it'll pass for a key ring in a bind.  (Do you get my super-cheesy joke?  Book ring?  BIND?!  Okay, I know it's not funny.)

That's all it took to create my Divergent-Inspired keychain, and I love it!  It'll go great with my Divergent-Inspired Dauntless Quote T-shirt.

It will also go great with these fabulous projects from my bloggy friends. Sky from Capital B created this awesome Dauntless-Inspired Bracelet.

And yesterday, she posted these awesome printables featuring her favorite quotes from Divergent.  You can download the printables {HERE}.

And Emily from The Benson Street created this gorgeous Divergent-Inspired Bird Necklace!

So are we the only ones totally excited about the movie debut this week?!  What part of the book are you most looking forward to seeing onscreen?
