Then I filled it up with layers of glue and sand and folded the plastics back to the closed position.

Looks pretty cool, I'll insert a pic: (never mind the wear and tear, the lettering just came off)





Why the sand you say? Well, It needed a little wheight in order to feel at least a bit realistic

I also have a bullet shape pendant keychain. But I bought it from store, I like yours DIY.

Same here. I only have the truck key on mine- it has the built-in remote on the key so it's pretty bulky all by itself. I carry a small backpack to work that has another key ring with my tool box, shop, and door keys. I finally got my wife to trim her keys down to her car key and door key, and carry her other keys in her purse. She thought I was kidding her about all that weight on a keyring being bad until a friend of hers had to have her key and cylinder replaced and her mechanic told her it was because of her keyring. I just smile when I get a car at work with 3 lbs. of junk on the ring.

Sorry to not have any PICs right off-hand, but I also have multiple key chains "daisy chained" together so they can be broken out as to what is needed (at a point in time) and to have the least amount of tearing up on one's trousers (I also try to "clip" on the outside of pants when possible). The vendor/site Countycom for such items/tools was a good starting point when I started putting things on my keychain(s); you can search there under every day carry (EDC). My own Keychain(s) include (but are not limted) to:

NukAlert radiation detector
Swiss-Bit USB combo knife/flash drive
Countycomm Pico Prybar
Fox Whistle
Fisher keychain Pen
Swiss multi-tool key (cutter and screw drivers)
Carabiner
Combo Seatbelt cutter and glass Breaker (by Rescueme)
Photon Micro light
Key shaped tools
Leatherman micra tool (scissors)
Swiss pliers
Brigade quartermaster tweezer (800-338-4327)
P-51 (larger version of the P-38)
