Make Monogrammed Keychains for Holiday Gifting with the NJ Lottery

Experiencing gift-giving fatigue this holiday season? Coming up with fresh gift ideas that are budget friendly and fun can be a challenge--especially if you're like me and save shopping for the last minute! Procrastination aside, it's never too late to make simple customizations to make a gift feel personalized and thoughtful!

I created these tasseled monogram keychains to gift along with fun and festive New Jersey Lottery Holiday Scratch Offs to make the perfect last minute gift or stocking stuffer. Display the completed monogrammed keychains and tickets on a festive holiday garland or hang on your holiday tree for your friends and family to grab, scratch and maybe get lucky!

Things You'll Need 

2" Round Wood Disks 

Key Chain Clasps 

Tassels 

Charms
Large Jump Rings
Flat Nose Pliers 

Acrylic Paint 

Foam Pouncer

Hole Punch 

1. Make monogrammed disks by centering a small letter stencil on a unfinished wood disk and dabbing on a bright color of acrylic paint with a foam pouncer. Once the paint is dry, use a 1/16" drill bit to bore a small hole in the top of the disk so it can be attached to the keychain. 

2. Use a large jump ring and flat-nosed pliers to attach the monogrammed disk to the keychain. Add additional tassels, pom poms and charms as suited to the recipient! 

3. Punch a small hole in the top corner of the scratch off card and attach to the completed keychain with a gift tie or ribbon.

4. Hang your handmade keychains on a garland above your entryway or hang from reachable branches on your tree! These also make great gift tie ons!

A handmade present plus a chance to win some serious cash?! How great of a gift is that! Even if your tickets aren't winners you can still register them online for the Million Dollar replay for another chance to win!
