Making the perfect gift can be a challenge, but this custom acrylic keychain might just be the perfect item to commemorate your friendship in an unforgettable way. By following these step-by-step instructions, you’ll learn how to make an acrylic keychain that’s stylish, simple and completely customized. Make one for yourself and one for your best friend; she’ll love it!
What You’ll Need
To make your acrylic keychain custom, you’ll need:
-A sketch or photo of the face you want on your keychain. This can be as simple as an emoji that resembles your best friend’s face.
-A computer (optional, but highly recommended) -Photoshop and Illustrator, or other editing software that you’re comfortable with.
-Masking tape -This will help the layers stay in place before gluing them together.
-Mod Podge, acrylic paints in two different colors: one color for the skin tone and another color to paint clothes (I chose brown). It also helps if one of these colors is matte, so I used dark brown Mod Podge and plain white paint. -A paintbrush, any size and shape.
-Acrylic sealant spray
-Glitter in various shapes and sizes (optional) -Fishing line (to hang the finished product from your keys)
Start by masking off sections of the keychain you don’t want painted over with either masking tape or paper clips. Use this layer to block off where your subject’s hair should go and what parts should not have shadows underneath them. If there are still small sections where something needs to be blocked out, add another layer of masking tape or paper clips.
When you feel confident that everything has been blocked off well enough, it’s time to start painting! Begin by applying a layer of base coat onto all areas not being painted over with acrylic paint. Now it’s time for some creative expression!
