Description
I just thought maybe someone wanted to know how to make a keychain with just regular household materials. (no laminating machine or any electrical-machine-thing haha). You can always use a printer and print out a picture you want (make it double sided so the back looks nice as well. Or you can just add a piece of white paper on the back so it looks cleaner if you like.
I hope this helps someone...? If not, it's good for my reference as well. xD
This method has turned out pretty well with me, and I like the results so why not share. c':

I used a type of clear packing tape, I'm not so sure the exact brand though! I know Scotch has good tape, but really it's just any larger heavy duty type. I got the tape at Staples but I'm also sure all office supply stores have it, as well as hardware stores. Good luck!!

Oh man, this is super awesome! I've been some-what itching to make a keychain or two, but I don't have the money to get the super expensive stuff. This is super easy and cheap for a broke bum like me
I have a question. Do you use a specific brand of thick paper, or whatever you can find?

Thank you!
And yeees, I love being my cheap old self. C;
Well, personally I only have this huge pack of bristol paper from Wausau which works pretty well for me. c: But really any type of thick paper works fine, even stuff like index cards (without lines) can do the job. haha ;v;

Being cheap is fun.
I'll have to keep my eyes peeled then. I think I know where I can find index cards and large tape, so I'll be trying this out soon!
