Here's how to do it
This keychain is relatively quick to tie and we start with one flower around the lock and then tie the second flower. Wow, you have tied a lot of flowers! /Naemi

STEP 1
Cut the following laces:
Green (stem): 80 cm
Pink (flowers): 110 cm
White (pistil): 50 cm
Green (knot): 40 cm
STEP 2
Fold the green string (80 cm) in half. Attach it to the lock using the knot larkhead.
STEP 3
Hint! Tape the lock to a solid base, and it will be easier to create the keychain.
STEP 4
Now you should attach the pink string, which should become the “flower petals”. Place the green laces crosswise. Take the pink string and fold it in half. Pass the pink string under the greens and fasten it around the green laces with the knot larkhead.
STEP 5
Each flower petal consists of the knot larkhead, which you create around the green laces.
Place the left green string over the left pink string. Take the pink string and pull it through the loop created. Tighten the knot all the way up.
STEP 7
Place the left pink string under the left green string. Take the pink string and pull it through the loop created. Tighten the knot all the way up.
STEP 8
Do the same on the right side. Place the right green string over the right pink string. Take the pink string and pull it through the loop created. Tighten the knot all the way up.
STEP 9
Place the right pink string under the right green string. Take the pink string and pull it through the loop created. Tighten the knot all the way up.
STEP 10
Now you should attach the “pistil” to the center of the flower. Cross the pink laces. Fold the white string in half. Thread it under the pink laces and tie it around the pink laces with the knot larkhead. Tighten all the laces so that the white knot ends up in the center of the flower.
STEP 11
Make a new larch head knot (“flower petals”) with the left pink string around the left green string.
STEP 12
Repeat on the right side.
STEP 13
Cross the green laces on top of the pink and white ones.
STEP 14
Pass the left pink string up, around and through the loop on the left side.
STEP 15
Do the same on the right side, fixed mirror-facing.
STAGE 16
Tighten all the laces, so that the pink laces create the bottom “flower petal” of the flower.
STEP 17
Now you should create a macramé knot with the green string around the white and pink laces.
Take the left green string and cross over and in front of the other laces. Take the right green string, place over the left green. Then pass it behind the white and pink laces and through the loop formed on the left. Tighten tightly so that the knot ends up just below the flower.
STEP 18
Do the same again in the opposite direction. Take the right green string and cross over. Then take the left green, pass behind the white and pink laces and through the loop on the other side. Tighten tightly so that the knot is tight and ends up just below the other knot.
STEP 19
It's time for flower No. 2, and there will be a lot of repetition from the first flower. ☺️
Cross the green laces in front of the white and pink laces. Take the left pink string up and through the green “loop” on the left side. Do the same on the other side by passing the right pink string around and through on the right side. Tighten the laces so that the flower petals are tight.
STEP 20
Now you are going to repeat STEP 6- STEP 9.
STEP 21
Cross the pink laces in front of the white laces. Take the left white string up and through the pink “loop” on the left side. Do the same on the other side by passing the right white string around and through on the right side. Tighten all the laces so that the white knot ends up in the center of the flower.
STEP 22
Now you are going to repeat STEP 11-STEP 18.
STEP 23
Remove the keychain (if you taped it).
STEP 24
Now you're going to make a Tagling to hold all the laces together and finish the keychain.
Turn the keychain over so you can see the back. Take the green string (40 cm). Make a loop out of it and hold it against your keychain. Wrap 3-4 turns tight around all the laces. Tighten while you shuffle. Take the end of the short green string and pass through the loop you created. Then pull upwards on the other end of the green string. Pull until the “loop” goes in behind the turns you've made. Adjust tagging if necessary.
STEP 25
Cut off the stump sticking up from the thorn. Cut off the remaining laces to the desired length and shape.
