How to Make Photo Key Rings

Personalizing a key ring with a favorite photo of family or friends allows the holder to keep those memories right at his fingertips. This project is suited for either children or adults. Make it a party activity, with the finished key rings as party favors, or create gifts for holiday give-aways at work or church. The hardest part of this project is narrowing down which photos to use.

Things You'll Need

Snap-together photo key ring
Photos to insert
Photo resizing software
Photo printer
Scissors/paper cutter
Ruler

Instructions

- 1
  Unsnap the picture portion of the snap-together key ring and remove the stock photo inside. Look at the insert and verify the size of the photo required by the picture holder.
- 2
  Select two photos to use back to back in the clear picture holder. Use photo software and a printer to make the photos the right size and print them, if necessary. Otherwise, measure the photos with a ruler and trim them with scissors or a paper cutter to the size required by the holder.
- 3
  Position the photos back-to-back over one side of the snap-together key ring, then hold the other side over the photos and apply pressure to snap the two sides together.
- 4
  Ensure that all four sides are securely snapped together, and that the photos did not shift during the assembly process. Adjust the photos if necessary by unsnapping the photo holder.
- 5
  Transfer house and/or car keys onto the key ring.
