Do you need the inspiration to decorate your keys? Do you want to change the outdated keychain and adopt something more interesting?
Let's be honest. The best thing about getting a new car is being able to hang your keys in the ignition. It's also the worst thing about having a new car.
How are you supposed to attach these stupid things without drilling holes into your car?! There are so many different ways to attach keychains, but in this article, I'll give you 4 steps to attach that you can implement immediately!
Cut a piece of leather to your desired length
To cut a piece of leather to your desired length, place the leather on a flat surface, then use a ruler to mark where you want to cut. Make sure to account for the thickness of the leather when making your markings. Once you've marked your spot, fold over one end of the leather and secure it with masking tape so that it doesn't move while you're cutting through it.
Then, use an exact knife or another sharp blade to cut through the leather in long strokes along your markings. When finished, remove the masking tape and smooth out any ragged edges by sanding them down with sandpaper (or another similar tool).
Sand down the edges of your leather keychain
You can use sandpaper, or you can use a rotary tool with a sanding attachment. If you're using a rotary tool, make sure to use a low speed and move slowly to avoid burning through the leather.
Once you've sanded down all of the edges, place your keychain on top of the leather and trace around it with a pencil. Cut out that circle using sharp scissors.
If you've chosen not to add any extra embellishment to your key chain yet, go ahead and attach it by hand stitching around the perimeter of the circle (or adding rivets if you're making one that's circular).
Punch holes in leather
Punching holes in leather is pretty easy!
First, you'll want to cut the leather into the shape you want. You can use scissors or a craft knife (which will make it easier to get a clean cut).
Then, take your key chain rings and place them on your leather. You want to make sure they're spaced evenly and not overlapping. Then, place two pieces of tape over each ring so that they stay in place while you punch through them with an awl.
Now it's time for the fun part! Using your awl, punch through each ring on your leather piece. Make sure you push hard enough that the awl goes through the other side of the leather as well (that way the rings won't fall out). You may need to use pliers or another tool to help push them through if they're too tight—but if they're too loose, just put more tape over them!
Glue a thin piece of leather to cover the backside of your keychain (optional)
If you're using glue to attach your keychain, make sure that you use a thin piece of leather—about 1/8" thick—to cover the backside of your keychain so that it doesn't show through in the front.
Make sure that you don't apply too much glue at once; if it gets on the surface of the leather, it could cause blisters or other damage.
You can also try using a key fob clip to attach your keychain! First, find an old key ring and remove all of the keys from it. Then take some needle-nose pliers and bend one end of the ring upward slightly so that it forms a hook shape (but be careful not to break any pieces off).
Next, take some more needle-nose pliers and bend another part of the ring downward slightly so that it forms another hook shape (again, be careful not to break any pieces off). Now take both hooks and attach them into one loop with some wire cutters or tin snips as if they were two rings connected by an invisible chain.
In Conclusion:
In addition to the key ring, I also attached a small piece of leather under the zipper part. Real leather accessories are not cheap, but they will give us a good feeling and a very nice texture when we use them. The finishing is also very loved, for personalizing your bag or backpack to add a trendier look.
