DIY Acrylic Keychains on the Cricut: Easy & Cute!

Learn how to make cute DIY acrylic keychains with a Cricut in bulk!

If you are looking for a fun and easy project to make on your Cricut, this is it! Making DIY Acrylic Keychains is a great project for beginners. This is a craft that doesn’t take a lot of time, maybe 20-30 minutes, doesn’t require a lot of supplies, and is great for any skill level! And you can personalize these acrylic keychains, too. Fun, easy, and cute … three of my favorite words!

Acrylic keychains are so easy to make, especially with the Cricut! They make for fantastic gifts and can quickly be made in bulk. This simple project is so much fun whether you consider yourself an expert in crafting or if you’re just starting out.

These fun and joyful keychains look great, especially paired with the cute little tassel. Customize them with your colleague’s names and give them out during the holidays. Or, have some fun with your friends and make them together!

I made five different designs that you can make and I’m excited to see which one you will choose! Of course, you can do what I did and make all of them. It was so hard to only pick one!

Which one is your favorite?

For our keychains we’ll need to start off with some keychains of course. These come in all shapes and sizes. I’m using 2 inch round acrylic blanks and these come with chains and tassels. 

We will also need permanent vinyl and transfer tape. I’m going to use some acrylic paint to decorate some of my designs, but this is completely optional and some mod podge to protect and seal my designs. This is also optional. Of course we’ll need our Cricut cutting machine, a mat, weeding tool, scraper tool and a set of small pliers to attach our keychain and tassel. And if you plan to paint your keychain you’ll need a foam brush and some butcher paper to protect your work surface.
