If you're looking for simple gifts that are appropriate for nearly everybody on your guest list, consider making keychains. Homemade keychains are inexpensive and fun to make, and are a useful gift for nearly any occasion. Keychains are easy crafts that even young artists can make with a bit of grown up assistance.
Steps
1. Cut four small pieces of adhesive craft foam into squares measuring approximately 2 1/2 inches each. Alternatively, use up to four different colors to create a keychain with layers of color.
2. Write your initial, about 3 inches tall, on one piece of the craft foam, using a pencil or marker. Use a pair of sharp scissors to cut out the craft foam letter. Use a paper punch to make a hole about 1/4 inch from the top of the initial.
3. Lay the letter on of the remaining pieces of craft foam. Trace around the letter.
4. Cut out the letter, then make a hole near the top of the letter, in the exact same place you made a hole in the first letter. Repeat with the two remaining pieces of craft foam so you have four identical letters.
5. Peel the 5.backing from each initial. Stick all four letter together, working carefully to be sure the letters are lined up. Trim any uneven edges with a craft knife.
6. Attach a metal keychain to the hole.
