Draw the desired shape of your keychain, and add a hole. Keychain holes are usually around 0.2 inches. Set the shape and hole to hairline. This makes it easier to differentiate what needs to be cut out.
Bring an Image In

Import an image into the document, preferably a black and white vector image or a PNG. The background of a black and white image can be removed using outline trace. Drag the image into your keychain shape.
