When choosing a key fob with a car logo and the owner’s license plate number, special attention should be paid to the printing equipment, the strength of the key fob itself and the chain. Also, when choosing a manufacturer, it is important to study reviews of his work, as well as photographs or ready-made templates.

A keychain can be both a profitable budget gift and purchase, as well as an exclusive, branded and luxurious gift for a high-ranking person. Much depends on the materials of production, design and the brand itself.

An accessory in the form of license plates can be made of silver, platinum, gilding and even gold. Of course, a gold and silver keychain as a gift is made only to order, so when ordering it, the manufacturer must provide a copy of the template for a visual assessment of the future accessory. To create a template, the customer needs to specify several criteria:

• manufacturing materials;
• premium or economy option;
• coloring;
• image on the front and back of the key fob (car license plate number, car logo and any text);
• type of keychain from the proposed models;

How do they do it?

Most often, keychains with license plates and the inscription on the keychains are made to order, since the accessory will contain the customer’s personal data. During creation, either precious metals or high-quality and durable stainless steel are used. When creating a keychain, the manufacturer designs the required size and shape of the accessory, most often it is a reduced 100% copy of a plate with car license plates in real life.

Do you like keychains with your car number?

Not really

The numbers are applied to the keychain using professional printing equipment; on the reverse side, at the customer’s request, words of congratulations, the logo of the car itself, the owner’s phone number, address and any other information can be printed. After this, a protective coating is applied on both sides - ideally, it will be jewelry resin that protects the keychain from rust, mechanical damage and wear.

Next, a chain with a ring is additionally attached to the keychain so that the accessory can be easily attached to a bunch of car keys. If additional design solutions are envisaged, all this is done in parallel with the application of the text. It is also important to specify color schemes; most often, keychains are made in silver or gold; you can also order a neon coating that glows in the dark.

Historical facts

Today it is difficult to say who first invented this accessory. There are some facts:

In the 20th century, their purpose changed. The bulk of society began to live richer, and there was a need to lock up property. In this regard, every person is forced to carry keys.

This accessory began to be attached to a bunch of keys, which protects them from loss. Its functionality has increased. It often takes the form of a whistle, a miniature flashlight or a protective talisman.

Choosing the right material

The choice of material is the very first and most important step in the manufacture of any keychain. The material must be of high quality in order to maximize the use of a beautiful item. Some give the keychain mysterious meanings: a talisman for good luck, a talisman or protection against damage from the evil eye.

List of materials from which a keychain can be made: office paper, sewing threads, fabric, beads for embroidery, plasticine for modeling, various elastic bands or ribbons, amulets stones.

Various hooks, pieces of straps, bottle caps, strings, pencils and much more are also suitable. Images of some materials can be seen below.

Preparatory stage

Before you start making a keychain with your own hands, you need to draw a diagram or find a ready-made diagram for making such products. Then, the necessary materials are prepared so that during the work you will not be distracted by searching for them.

List of required materials:

• A set of beads of one or several colors, depending on the chosen color;
• The fishing line on which the beads will be attached;
• Stationery scissors;
• A diagram so that the product turns out exactly as originally intended;
• A ring for key rings on which keys will be placed.

Complex options

There are also complex ways to make this type of jewelry. Usually professionals work with them. They take time and require special concentration. However, the result is a product worthy of the highest praise.

Beads

Many crafters love to use beads as a material to create jewelry. It allows you to create objects of various shapes. It should be remembered that beads and fishing line are used in this work.

Consider the option of creating a flower from beads. To do this, we need a piece of fishing line of a certain length. It should be folded in half. A bead is strung on the edge and pulled towards the center. Another bead is threaded through it. Now they repeat the same steps, but string two beads onto the other end of the fishing line.

Repeat these steps until they reach the center of the petal, each time increasing the number of beads by one. Then continue the same actions, but decreasing the bead by one. In this way several different petals are created. Now that all the petals are ready, you can start decorating the flower itself. To do this, string a large bead onto a separate fishing line. Next, all the blanks are connected, the fishing line is twisted and secured with a large bead.

Coins

An interesting accessory can be made from coins. Especially if you use coins from different countries of the world. This keychain will remind you of the wonderful moments that happened in your life. To do this, drill holes in the coins and connect them with a chain. Keychains are also made from one coin. If you cut a coin in half, you can make a keychain for yourself and your significant other. So it will become a symbol of your love.

Crafts made from felt will look stylish on backpacks, bags, keys and phones. You can make a figurine of your favorite animal or plant. An original gift for your loved one will be a felt keychain in the shape of a heart. To make it you will need scissors, padding polyester, threads, buttons or beads for decoration, ribbon, a ring and the felt itself.

First you need to find a suitable template, print it on a printer and cut out the parts. Now you need to cut out these parts from felt. We remember that we will need the heart in two copies, and the decorative elements in one.

Also, the heart should be cut out of padding polyester. We sew decorative elements to one of the hearts on the front side. Now we cut off a piece of ribbon, thread it through the ring and sew it to the padding polyester. We apply felt hearts to the padding polyester heart and sew them on. Nothing too complicated, but you still have to tinker.

Tree

A stylish option is a keychain made of wood. In order to make such a decoration, it is not at all necessary to be a mechanic or master wood carving. Make a cut. Now you need to remove the bark. The hole for the lace or chain can be drilled with a drill. If desired, the wood can be varnished. If there is an artist in your soul, you can draw an interesting pattern, symbol or ornament. Those who know how to use a jigsaw can cut out an interesting figure.

A handmade keychain will always be distinguished by its originality. It will help you show your imagination and be a great way to express yourself. A homemade accessory can be an excellent gift for a family member, friend or loved one.

You can make such a decoration from almost any materials available in the house. There are simple and complex ways to make keychains. Materials such as paper, thread or clay are suitable even for children. Wood, beads, leather or felt are options for experienced crafters. Coins and iron are great for men. Wood always looks stylish and is a trend in recent seasons.

Keychains in the shape of dogs

With your own hands, made of leather

The easiest way to make a keychain in the shape of your favorite pet is to find a silhouette of your breed on the Internet (use a search engine for spaniel-silhouette-template-graphics).

And then from a single piece of leather (white) make the entire silhouette in profile, and individual pieces of leather (brown and black) will be used to add spots. We use an awl to pierce the punctures at the same distance from each other - and create a neat contour seam.

To make the keychain voluminous, insert cotton wool or padding polyester inside (when you finish the seam).

It is much more interesting to make a keychain dog not in profile, but in full face. Here we also find the silhouette of our dog breed on the Internet. We cut out two parts - the back and the front.

And here we add one more trick - the front paws sticking out of the slot on the chest. It's simple. We cut out the paws in one piece at once - like an oval horseshoe arc. We divide two slits in the breast - we insert our horseshoe into the slits, so that its legs stick out from the two holes like the paws of a dog.

The nose of the dog can be expressed with a CONTOUR SEAMS - as was done in the photo below (Chihuahua keychain).

For the collar, choose a brighter material so that it does not blend in with the color of the dog itself. We place the collar in a layer between the body and the head, but so that it sticks out under the dog’s chin (as in the photo with the keychain below).

Usually we sew on the false parts (eyebrows, front part of the muzzle) with the same stitch (thread and needle) - as in the example with the pug keychain below.

But sometimes the applied parts (the muzzle in the photo below) are inconvenient to sew on - the naturalness and similarity with the breed will disappear. And then reliable glue comes to the rescue.

Please note that you can also sew a furry chest under the dog’s head between its front legs.

• And sew a flirty bow applique on top of the breast with one stitch.
• The more complex your breed, the more interesting and multi-layered our leather keychain becomes.

As you understand, all these keychains can be made FROM FELT. Exactly the same principle.

Or create similar crafts but from wood or plywood. And then these will be interior items decorating the veranda, apple orchard, and children's playground.

Where to get material

for making key rings.

Each of us has old unnecessary bags with worn-out handles, scratched clutches, torn backpacks. They are made of leather... or leatherette. And we usually take them to the trash, or store them on the mezzanine for years, because we once loved them and don’t dare throw them away.

Why throw it away? Let's give them a SECOND LIFE in the form of fashionable keychains for your phone, keys, or backpack.

FOR EXAMPLE: Mom gave me a red bag. Plus, I have a blue one in my closet with gray and white inserts, but I won’t wear it anymore. My favorite coffee clutch is already embarrassing to wear in public.

TOTAL: I have leather-like material in several colors - red, blue, gray, white, brown.

On this basis, you can already come up with several options for keychains.

• a dog, gray with blue ears and a red tongue)
• parrot with a beige body, red and blue tail, red beak and blue eye.
• red bull with blue horns and hooves
• gray dolphin with white chest
• white hedgehog with a spiky coffee skin.
