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.
