Homemade gifts are always welcomed and appreciated. Things that children have made themselves are so cute and so special, and the best part is that Kids love giving gifts they have created!
What makes homemade gifts extra appreciated is if they are something that you can actually use! Keyring and keychains are a fantastic idea to make! There are so many wonderful ideas and they get used by the dozen!
Keychains also work well as Christmas stocking fillers or gifts to put into a Christmas cracker!
Some of these DIY keychain ideas are going to need a little help from adults, especially if young children are involved. Tweens and teens will be able to make this all by themselves! I know a little girl who would make rainbow keyring every day if she could!!
