Make a pom pom keychain to accessorize your back pack this year! With a printable name tag that you can color, it is completely customizable to your own unique style and personality! This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.
My girls love to craft as much as I do. We are totally a match made in heaven, and I was excited to try out my new G2® Pens by Pilot Pen that I treated myself to from Target last week. I already use the blue and black pens on a regular basis and decided to upgrade to an 18 pack for a nice variety of bold and pastel colors. Every year teachers remind us to label our children’s school gear. This Pom Pom keychain is a darling way to do that and add a bit of personalized style at the same time! We even created printable tags that you can color and laminate!

G2® Pens by Pilot Pen
Laminator
Hole Punch
Step 1. Cut a long length of embroidery thread. Tie one end onto a tassel (we found these at our local craft store, already attached to o-rings).
Step 2. Thread the other end of the embroidery thread with needle, and string on as many pom poms as you’d like!
(Note: Ruby added a sparkly charm to her tassel above which is why it has a bit more bling than my example one.)
Step 3. Tie the thread into a knot. Then tie it onto an o-ring using a double knot. Cut the thread.
Step 4. Use the needle nose pliers to open the o-ring and attach to a key ring.
Step 5. Slide a lobster clasp onto the key ring. The lobster clasp is optional but does make it easier for kids to attach the key ring to a backpack.
Step 6. Download and print the tags. Cut out a front and a back and color with gel pens.
Step 7. Attach the tags back to back with a glue dot or glue stick to create a double sided tag. Laminate then hole punch.
Step 8. Attach 2 o-rings using the pliers then attach the tag to the pom pom strand!
I love how Kaylee added her own text to the binder paper clip art, haha! Yes, she is the best.
And that’s that! A darling way to label and add a bit of flare to a backpack all at the same time!
