Step 1

First, pick a colorful post-it note. You want one that will be pretty as a keychain and that goes well with your teal cording.

Step 2

Next, press your child’s thumb onto the ink pad.

Step 5

Next, cut out the traced rectangle.

Tips:

Cut on the inside of the traced lines.

The first cut-out will be too big for the inside of your charm. Continue trimming small amounts off until it fits.

Step 6

After your cut-out fits inside the charm, label it with your child’s initial.

There you have it. This DIY personalized tassel keychain is a great gift idea but you might want to make one for your keys, too! The bonus is that kids absolutely love stamping their thumbprints… possibly a little too much. I may or may not have caught them with my ink pad putting their thumbprints on everything! Even with that unfortunate little sidebar, these were a blast to make! If you want to incorporate all of your kids on one keychain you can change things up by adding a small photo of them in place of the thumbprints.
