If you know someone that loves leather, they will love easy DIY Christmas gift…a leather keychain! These easy leather keychains only take a few minutes to throw together and the result is so cute! There’s a tutorial for two different kinds: a leather tassel keychain and a braided leather keychain. Take your pick or make them both!
LEATHER KEYCHAIN 1: LEATHER TASSEL KEYCHAIN
STEP 1. CUT SQUARE OF LEATHER.
Cut a square piece of leather about 8 in x 8 in. You could go smaller or larger if you wanted as well!
STEP 2. MARK LINE ABOUT 1 INCH DOWN FROM THE TOP.
On the back side of the leather, use a pen to mark a line about 1 inch down from the top of the square. This will be your guide line where your tassel pieces end.
STEP 3. CUT 1/4” SLITS UP THE LEATHER.
I used a rotary tool and clear acrylic ruler to cut 1/4 inch slits up the leather all the way to the guide line.
STEP 4. ATTACH HANGER.
Using a small strip of leather about 1/4” x 3”, glue on the hanger onto the back side of the leather.
STEP 5. GLUE AND ROLL UP LEATHER TASSEL.
Add glue all along the top portion of the leather on the backside and start rolling. You’ll really start to see the tassel come together when you start rolling.
STEP 6. ATTACH TASSEL LEATHER KEYCHAIN TO HOOP.
Loop the hanger of the tassel onto a lanyard hook and attach to a split ring. Both the lanyard hook and split ring can be purchased in a little set of keychain accessories.
Isn’t this leather tassel keychain adorable?! I love how it turned out! Tassels are pretty trendy right now and so is leather, so this DIY leather keychain is a great idea for a lot of different people on your holiday list this year.
