Simple Leather Cat Keychain Pattern – Easy DIY Charm with Two Styles

Two little cats, one simple project

Sometimes the cutest accessories come from the simplest ideas. My simple leather cat keychain pattern lets you craft a playful charm in two different styles, both equally adorable. With its rounded cartoon face and friendly look, this small leather project can brighten up your keys, backpack, or handbag, while also giving you a fun introduction to leathercraft.

Materials you’ll need

This design was created to make use of small leftover leather pieces. To complete it, you’ll need:

• Leather: 1.4–2 mm (3.5–5 oz.)

• Key ring or small carabiner

Because the charm is compact, you don’t need much material at all. Even scraps will do, which makes it a budget-friendly and eco-conscious project.

Finished size

Once completed, the charm measures about 6 × 6 cm (2.4 × 2.4 in). That size makes it perfect as a small leather cat accessory – noticeable but not heavy, so it won’t weigh down your keys or bag.

What’s included in your download

When you purchase, you’ll receive:

• PDF templates (A4 + US Letter)

• SVG & DXF files for laser cutting or plotters

• Step-by-step video instruction

With both printable and digital cutting formats, you can easily adapt the project to your preferred crafting method.

Important notes

This is a digital product, not a physical charm. You’ll get the pattern files and instructions to craft your own.
Only the simple leather cat keychain pattern is included. All other objects in the photos are for demonstration purposes only.

Why this pattern is special

The DIY cat keychain template is designed with beginners in mind. If you’ve never worked with leather before, this project is a perfect starting point. The cuts are straightforward, the stitches are clear, and the design allows you to focus on enjoying the process.

Even if you already have experience, the two style variations make this pattern versatile. You can choose between different ear details, giving each charm its own character. With the printable cat keychain PDF SVG DXF formats, you’ll have everything you need to cut by hand or machine.

Creative uses for your charm

Here are some ways you can enjoy your finished keychain:

• As an easy leather cat charm for your keys.

• As backpack accessory for kids and adults alike.

• As a small handmade gift for a cat lover.

• As a matching pair – one style for yourself and the other for a friend.

Because the project is quick, you can easily make several charms in different leather colors. Try classic black or brown for a sleek look, or experiment with bright pastels and metallics for a more playful style.

Final thought

This pattern proves that leathercraft doesn’t have to be complicated to be rewarding. With just a few scraps of leather, you can create something personal, functional, and stylish. My simple leather cat keychain pattern gives you everything you need – from clear templates to video guidance – so you can enjoy the process and proudly show off your handmade charm.
