Beaded key fobs and bag charms are functional yet decorative. They add a touch of personality to backpacks, briefcases, or travel bags.

Materials Needed

  • Keychain hardware
  • Nylon cord or leather cord
  • Optional metal accents

Instructions

  1. Cut a length of cord and attach it to the keychain hardware.
  2. String beads in your chosen pattern.
  3. Include metal or wooden spacers for style and texture.
  4. Tie knots at the end to secure the beads.

This craft allows you to experiment with colors, textures, and bead shapes. Men often prefer darker, muted colors with minimalistic designs, but you can also add subtle pops of color for a modern touch.
