3. Tassel
Gorgeous! This is probably my favorite among these handmade leather key ring crafts. Making these is easy, too. You slit a piece of leather repeatedly, roll and glue along the top, and then embellish with glittery ribbon and thread. Fun, right?

4. Fun Shapes
This handmade leather key fob tutorial is much more basic than the previous ones but it's still a lot of fun. It teaches you how to attach rivets, too, so this particular DIY is very useful. Aside from the fun shapes you see above, you can go about making your key fobs in other forms, too. I think letters will look nice.

5. Neon
For this DIY leather key fob, you will be employing the techniques you have learned from the previous tutorials. After constructing the strip of leather into a key fob, you then paint it using neon colors (or any hue you prefer). Geometric and Aztec patterns will look nice.

7. Animal Faces
This is the cutest! Constructing this looks complicated but it's not that difficult. To make the face look more 3D, you simply have to cut a slit from the top of the head to the nose. After embroidering the snout details and punching holes for the eyes, you then overlap the slit, add an eyelet and a ring, and that's it. I bet your kids will snatch these up from your craft table right away.

8. Stuffed
These are made of faux leather, sure, but they still deserve a spot in this list. If you're keen on having fun colors for your DIY key fob or you're vegan, we suggest going the faux leather route. They are much easier to work with, in my experience, and are vastly cheaper.
