How I Made Money with This Super Easy Crochet Flower Keychain!
✨ Introduction:
Crocheting started as a relaxing hobby, but one small project changed everything for me financially — the crochet flower keychain. It was cute, quick, and most importantly: it sold like crazy!
Why I Chose the Crochet Flower Keychain
I wanted something that:
-
Was easy and fast to make
-
Used minimal yarn and materials
-
Was visually appealing and trendy
-
Could be sold for under $10 while still giving me a profit
The flower keychain checked all those boxes!
Materials I Used:
-
Cotton yarn scraps (any colors work!)
-
A 3.5mm crochet hook
-
Keychain rings (bought in bulk from Amazon)
-
Yarn needle and scissors
-
Optional: felt backing or a hot glue gun for extra finish
How I Made It:
This pattern takes just 15–20 minutes per flower.
-
Magic Ring – I started with a magic ring and made 5 petals using double crochets.
-
Second Layer (Optional) – I added another layer behind for a 3D effect.
-
Stitch Closed – Pulled the petals tight, sewed the center.
-
Attached to Key Ring – Used a short chain and slip stitch to secure it.
I customized each one with fun color combos, sometimes adding beads or cute buttons.
