Top 10 Fabulous DIY Keychains

Keychains are probably by far the most necessary accessories we’ve ever used, starting from the first keychain your parents gave you and asked you to hold onto it (even though chances are you didn’t) to your first visit to the office depot in search of one for your new office keys. They serve to keep our keys in one place, making it (almost) impossible for us to lose them. Plus, there are all kinds of designs depending on our tastes and occasions, so we have many options to choose from.

The thing is, our taste in accessories tends to change as we grow older, so we slowly start to spend a ridiculous amount of money on new keychains without even noticing. So, let us unload the financial burden off your back and tell you that with a little bit of effort and some inexpensive materials, it is possible to have both cheap and cute-looking keychains.

We’ve picked the top 10 fabulous tutorials for keychains you can make yourselves. They’re neither complicated nor time-consuming, so you’ll be able to squeeze them into your busy daily schedule.
