for father’s day the kids made these awesome keychains for their grandfather’s.

aren’t they amazing? If you love Custom keychains, you’ll love these bead keychains. They make great gifts! If you are anything like the men in my life, you are constantly misplacing keys! A custom keychain can help make your keys stand out and hopefully you’ll be able to find them much quicker! If you want to take the gift a step further, you could look to sites where you can create your own keychain with etched photos of family members, or even pets for a really sentimental gift. A friend has had one made for her husband with a photo of their children on it, and he really appreciated the gift. What made their keychain unique was that it was a Custom camera roll keychain that had each of the children’s pictures on each frame. It was so cool.

all they used were various sized beads, pipe cleaner and a metal ring. we have purchased beads from all kinds of sources like thrift stores and garage sales, which tend to have wonderfully strange beads in the mix for a low, low price!

the kids created all sorts of different patterns with the beads.

once they were finished beading, we wound the two ends of the pipe cleaner tightly around the metal ring. i think it’s good for an adult to do this part to ensure the ends are attached tightly.

the grandfathers loved them… OF COURSE!!!

making these took only a short time. these colourful keychains are a perfect gift idea for anyone! and, they could make perfect zipper tags as well!
