Insert both strings to a series of beads to fasten off and then cut string and put the keyring using jump ring and pliers. Now you can use or sell it.

Notes: Since the string is thinner make the fastening off more sturdy or secure by inserting leftover string through more parts of the beaded item. Take time to do it.
My advice also is not to insert through consecutive beads because it will be visible.
Happy Beading Everyone!!!
