DIY St. Patrick's Day cross stitched bookmark/keychain

Even though our family doesn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I have a half-Irish friend who never misses a chance to celebrate, and I usually make something to give her on March 17th. 

Over the years this has become a tradition for us and even though we are all under lockdown at this point, I still wanted to make her a little gift (even though I will most likely have to mail it instead of delivering in person). 

I made this bookmark/keychain in the same way as the Valentine's Day bookmarks.
