A baby photo key ring is a thoughtful Father’s Day craft, easy to make, meaningful to gift, and a keepsake dads will cherish daily.
Materials Needed
- Baby photo (printed and cut to size)
- Clear plastic keyring casing (available at craft or stationery stores)
- Scissors
- Glue stick or double‑sided tape
- Decorative paper or cardstock (optional, for backing)
- Permanent marker or paint pen (for writing a short message like “Best Dad”)
What To Do
- Prepare the photo: Print a baby photo and trim it neatly to fit inside the keyring casing.
- Add a backing: Cut decorative paper or cardstock to the same size as the photo. This adds sturdiness and a colourful background.
- Secure the photo: Use glue or tape to attach the photo to the backing.
- Personalise: Write a short Father’s Day message on the backing (e.g., “Love You Dad”).
- Assemble the key ring: Place the photo inside the clear casing and snap it shut.
- Attach the chain: Clip the casing onto the metal ring and chain.
Hints and Tips
- Double‑sided design: Use two photos (front and back) for extra personalisation.
- Laminate for durability: If you don’t have a casing, laminate the photo and punch a hole for the key ring.
- Add embellishments: Stickers, glitter pens, or washi tape can make the backing more festive.
- Make multiples: Create extra key rings for grandparents or uncles as matching Father’s Day gifts.
- Child involvement: Let older children help decorate the backing with drawings or doodles for a more personal touch.
