Make Your Own Keychain

Keychains are used to organized our keys in such a way they are available to use at a seconds notice. Most of the time little thought is given into the design of the keychain or how life would be without them. Making your own keychain is a way to add personal significance to an item that we pass by everyday as if it were invisible.

I made my own keychain online quickly and without hassle. I used a website called zazzle.com. Zazzle is a print on demand website where you can add your name or any image to a number of products for use or resell. It's an exciting way to express yourself and make money doing what you may love.

All keychains start out blank of course. You decide what you want to add to the keychain. The example I'm going to show you will have historical significance to me, it's the Egyptian Eye Of Horus. Basically I found the image using google images. You can use that or stock photo provider, your own photos and drawings, etc. I added the image to the blank keychain and that was it. I was done. The result was truly awesome and I felt as if I'd truly made something of personal value.

I will include a video found on youtube on how to make your own keychain by hand also. Good luck and Thank you.

This type of keychain is fun and easy to make. Requires no sewing or expert knowledge to make just the will to have fun.
