So, here’s why I love this keychain project.

I came across these little keychain kits while looking for something simple (and cheap) to do at my 5-year-old’s birthday with cousins of all ages (thanks to my 10-year-old for the idea).

All you need is this kit that comes with the acrylic circles, tassels, the keychains, and jump rings. It’s $10.99 for a quantity of 30 projects! All you need to do is add  a pack of paint pens, and misc stick-on rhinestones (have fun choosing these! We ordered  this pack which had a beautiful assortment – see more options below- and some googly eyes.) If you need greater bulk, you can also buy the components separately (here’s  200 tassels!)

There’s also keychains available in different shapes, if you don’t want to stick to circles (like these  rectangles,  or  kits with multiple shapes.)

The only other item I found useful is some jewelry pliers  to make it easier to tighten the jump rings on the discs, but you can also use your fingers if you’re in a pinch (if using fingers, you need a teen to help with that). 

Note: Even though paint pens use acrylic paint (which does not come out of clothing), I found that paint pens are quite neat and didn’t really get on anyone’s clothing. That doesn’t mean to give them to the baby!

This one comes with acrylic blanks in different shapes.

These are available in different sizes.

Thank you! I have my 5 year old’s birthday coming up next month, will be doing this ?
