How Do You Make Acrylic Keychains With Vinyl Cricut?

Personalize your style with a custom acrylic keychain made with your Cricut machine! With the right supplies and a few simple steps, you can create personalized keychains in minutes. This project is perfect for beginners who are just getting started with their Cricut and those with more experience who want to add a unique touch to their wardrobe.

Materials Needed: To make your acrylic keychain, you will need the following supplies: Cricut machine, acrylic sheets, vinyl sheets, transfer tape, and an adhesive remover. For best results, use adhesive-backed vinyl that is designed for indoor or outdoor use depending on where you plan to display your keychain.

Step 1: Design Your Keychain Begin by opening up your design software and creating the design you want to have on your keychain. Make sure to size it appropriately so that it will fit on your keychain when it is finished. Once you have completed designing your keychain, save it as an SVG file so that it can be used with your Cricut machine.

Step 2: Cut Out Your Design Place the vinyl sheet on your cutting mat and load it into the Cricut machine. Then select the SVG file of your design and let the machine cut out the design for you. Once complete, remove the excess vinyl from around your design and set aside for later.

Step 3: Transfer Your Design Now that your design has been cut out from the vinyl sheet, use transfer tape to move it onto the acrylic sheet for a secure hold. Make sure to press down firmly so that all parts of your design are adhered to the sheet properly.

Step 4: Cut Out Your Keychain Place the acrylic sheet onto a cutting mat and load it into the Cricut machine. Select “Acrylic” as material type before cutting out one or multiple keychains using pre-made shapes or by tracing around other objects like coins or buttons as templates. When complete, remove any excess material from around each keychain before moving onto step 5.

Step 5: Peel Away Transfer Tape Now that all of the pieces have been cut out of their respective materials, peel away the transfer tape from each piece and discard any excess material left behind from either process. You now have all of the pieces necessary to assemble each individual keyring!

Conclusion:

Making custom acrylic keychains with a Cricut machine is easy and fun! With just a few simple steps and some basic supplies, you can create personalized accessories in minutes! No matter what level crafter you are – beginner or experienced – this project is perfect for adding some extra style to any wardrobe or collection of keys!
