Simple Leather Dog Pattern – Easy DIY Keychain & Bag Charm

A loyal little companion

Dogs have a way of bringing joy everywhere they go — and now you can carry a small reminder with you. My simple leather dog pattern creates a compact keychain shaped like a friendly dog’s head. With its clean, minimalist design, this project is approachable even for beginners and results in a charm that looks neat and stylish on keys, backpacks, or handbags.

Materials you’ll need

To make this charm, prepare a few basics:

• Leather: 1.4–2 mm (3.5–5 oz.)

• Key ring or small carabiner

Because the design is small, it’s perfect for using up leftover scraps of leather, giving them a second life as a functional and decorative piece.

Finished size

The completed charm measures about 6 × 7.5 cm (2.3 × 3 in). A convenient size — not too big, not too small — so it stands out but still feels comfortable to carry daily.

What’s included in your download

When you purchase, you’ll instantly receive:

• PDF templates (A4 + US Letter)

• SVG & DXF files for laser cutting or plotters

• Step-by-step video tutorial

The set includes dog keychain pattern PDF SVG DXF formats, so you can either print and cut by hand or use your home laser engraver for precision.

Important notes

This is a digital product, not a finished charm. You’ll get the pattern files and instructions to make your own.
