Creating personalized accessories has never been easier! These DIY Handwriting Name Keychains are fun to make, simple to assemble, and are a one-of-a-kind custom craft. The xTool M2 laser cutter handles all the intricate cutting, leaving you with just the fun parts: painting and piecing it together!

This is a fantastic craft to enjoy on your own or with kids. I recently taught an introductory laser class for elementary students where we made these exact keychains.
