\"This<\/p>\n

Hey all!!\u00a0 Thank you so much for visiting today.\u00a0 I don’t know about you guys but I have a handful of people on my holiday gift giving list who are impossible to shop for.\u00a0 Every year it gets harder and harder to think of something.\u00a0 So I thought to myself…what is one gift I could make for everyone from my dad to the neighbor across the street?\u00a0 Then it came to me!\u00a0 Everyone uses keys therefor, everyone needs a cool keychain.\u00a0 Right?!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>I went with leather.\u00a0 I understand that not everyone is keen on leather, and that’s okay.\u00a0 There are vegan leather and leather alternatives you can use.\u00a0 *SIDE STORY * My Grandfather was a book binder for many many years and he worked with leather every day.\u00a0 I worked\u00a0at the shop\u00a0one summer and doing this project brought back a lot of memories.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, these are super cute on their own but even more personal with a monogram.\u00a0 I got a metal stamping kit online\u00a0or you can find them at most craft stores.\u00a0 I did a “men’s” version and a “woman’s” version.\u00a0 It really doesn’t matter but one is thicker and shorter and the other is thinner and longer.<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/p>\n

-Keychain template (provided below)<\/p>\n

-Leather (I used this leather strip<\/a> and got about 20 keychains out of the one piece.)<\/p>\n

-Leather hole punch (this one is priced really well and has great reviews<\/a>)<\/p>\n

–Rivets<\/a><\/p>\n

–Razor knife<\/a> (sharp!)<\/p>\n

–Metal ruler<\/a><\/p>\n

–Metal key rings<\/a> (I used split key rings 32mm aprox. 1″ diameter)<\/p>\n

–Letter stamp kit<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

keychain templates<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Take your leather and cut the strips using the razor knife against the metal ruler, according to the template.<\/li>\n
  2. Measure the distance according to the\u00a0template and punch the holes.<\/li>\n
  3. Now, loop the key ring through the leather and line up the holes.<\/li>\n
  4. Secure holes with rivets<\/li>\n
  5. Monogram if you desire<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"key<\/p>\n
