I was with my Mom the other week and she kept dropping her cane, then struggling to pick it up off the ground. I saw that it had a place for a ring or key chain. The two pieces of the puzzle clicked together in my mind and I made her a key ring that she can use as a &#8216;cane chain&#8217;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62578\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240427_190231_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-62578\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240427_190231_wm-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cane Chain for Mom\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240427_190231_wm-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240427_190231_wm-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240427_190231_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cane Chain for Mom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I had everything necessary to make it on hand.<\/p>\n<p>I used a piece of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UHWBs5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pink Sands webbing<\/a>**, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UhtDy0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dritz key fob hardware kit<\/a>** as well as some <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y2XYJ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Renaissance Ribbon<\/a>** leftover from <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/who-am-i-top-back-finished\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Who Am I?<\/a> It was a very quick project.<\/p>\n<p>The webbing was slick and I couldn&#8217;t get the ribbon embellishment to stay in place. I think using a cotton webbing (or strapping) would have alleviated that problem, but I used what I had on hand and Mom didn&#8217;t mind. I could have also glued it in place. That can be difficult with a textured surface like polyester webbing, but it is doable, especially for a temporary hold.
