I had this quick and inexpensive idea to make a keychain, as I really enjoy making these, and you can use this method to make any personalized keychain!

Round Up Those Supplies!

What I used:
TOOLS
-Hacksaw (cutting the wood)

-Cutter/ Exacto Knife (cutting the template out + making a hole)

-Pliers (for adding keychain to wood part)

-File (Making the wood smooth)

-Markers

-Printer

-Gloves (TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF >_<)

MATERIALS

-Paper

-Scrap wood

-Keychain (I ordered a pack of 10 from amazon)

OPTIONAL:-

-Bench Vice (I used a mini one, which is not needed, but it makes cutting the wood a whole lot easier.)

Finding and Drawing the Template on the Wood Scrap

I searched up "undertale heart" on google, and found a nice heart which I printed and then traced onto the wood with a permanent marker.

Cutting Time!

Take the piece of wood with the heart traced on, and start cutting it out slowly, around the edges. After you have cut it out, give it a quick sanding with any file.

Colouring Time!

Take the wood heart you made and go ahead and colour it from all sides. (what else do I write??)

Making the Hole for the Keyring

Take the exacto knife/cutter and rotate the cutter and make a hole on one of the edges. You can also use a drill to make this step easier, but I wanted to keep the use of tools to a minimum.

Adding the Keychain

After you have made the hole 3-4mm in diameter, you can now proceed to the final step: adding the keychain. Take a keychain and using a pair of pliers (or 2), carefully open the end of the keyring, slide into the hole, and secure it shut.

It's Done!

You are finally complete! This is a short instructable, and I was unsure what else I should have written. I hope you enjoy this simple trick to make keychains!

If you find the keychain too stiff, or too hard to open with your fingers, you can use a staple remover, and have a keychain on your bag or house keys, with much less effort, and also protect your fingernails!

enjoy :))
