Custom Keychains with Wooden Beads

These custom keychains have both natural wood and natural leather elements. Plus, they’re simple. What’s not to love about that?

Custom keychains are simple but impactful gifts. Even more so when you can tell the person that you made them yourself. these would also be a perfect summer camp craft idea. For kids you could use more colorful beads or for teenagers I bet they’d love this simple look. Wood and leather are in right now!

Cut your leather to the length you prefer. I used 5 beads so mine was decently long. 

Create a simple knot of your choice on the keyring. I LOVE these key rings because you don’t have to worry about sliding the knot around to get your keys on it. I like the clasp over the spiral style key chains.

Thread your beads onto the leather. One look you could go for is a knot between each bead. I kind of like them all right next to each other so I threaded them all on at once.

Once you have your desired amount of beads on, tie a knot on the bottom. You want this knot to be pretty robust so the beads don’t slide off so I suggest either doing a double knot between the two strands of leather or tying them together in one chunky knot. That’s what I opted to do so hopefully you can understand what that means by looking at it!

If you’ve been around for a bit you might know how much I LOVE key chains. There’s something about making a custom keychain for a friend that feels both thoughtful and useful. Everyone needs a keychain or two around their house and they can use multiple at once so it all works out. BUT these aren’t tacky, s your friends will definitely like them.

Note to go with custom keychains

I made a little card to put my custom keychains on when I gave them as a gift to a lot of people. Use my fun phrase or use the whole project. You do you boo.
