DIY | Cool keyhangers with watch

You can check out our large assortment of watchfaces on Smyks.com.

Here are a few examples of how you can combine a pendant watch with a key hanger.

Key hangers made of round-stitched leather

We have used the following materials to make the keyhangers with rose gold and black watch faces shown above:

1pc. rose gilded sports watch. This item is discontinued but you can find an alternative here.
2pcs. black steel extender rings
Approx. 1m round-stitched black 5mm leather cord
2pcs. oxidised sterling silver oval spacer rings
1pc. gold-plated steel 8mm cord end
1pc. black steel split ring
Glue

Start by dividing the leather cord into two pieces. In this example, one piece is 80 cm and the other is 20 cm. Thread the 80 cm piece through the top eye of the watch, then feed both ends through the spacer ring and pull it down towards the watch, tying the two ends together. Close it at the back with another knot.

Next, take the remaining 20 cm piece and repeat the process. Glue the ends of the 20 cm cord into the steel cord ends, and finally attach the split key ring to the cord ends.

Paracord key hanger with pendant watch

You will need the following materials to make this keyhanger in black and yellow:

1pc. watchface in yellow and black
2pcs. extender rings, black steel
Approx. 1m of yellow paracord
1pc. tube bead
1pc. black steel split ring

Start by feeding the paracord through the eye at the top of the watch. Then pull the cord through the tube bead and slide the bead down towards the watch. This key hanger is also finished with a knot at the back. Finally, attach the key ring to the bottom eye of the watch.

Macrame key hanger with pendant watch

For this key hanger with black watch face and grey braided strap, you’ll need the following materials:

1pc. black watch face with crystals
Approx. 3 metres of grey paracord
1pc. 8mm steel cord end (black is sold out)
1pc. black steel split ring
Glue

Start by cutting two pieces of paracord, each 80 cm long. Tie both pieces to the upper eye of the watch face and close them with a classic macramé slip knot. You can also use a simple knot if you prefer.

Next, cut two pieces of paracord measuring 20 cm each and tie them to the bottom eye of the watch. Using the remaining length of paracord — approximately one metre — braid over all four cords. Glue the ends into the cord end and attach the split ring.

Silver-plated key hanger with pendant watch

You’ll need the following materials to make this keyhanger with a steel watch and chain:

1pc. steel watch face
Approx. 80cm silver-plated cable chain
4pc. 4mm silver-plated jumprings
1pc. steel split ring

Cut the chain into 3 parts. One 68cm piece and two 6cm pieces. Attach the chain to the top part of the watch with a split ring in each ends. You will need to squeeze the jumprings tightly together to prevent them from moving around on the screw bars. Take the two last pieces of chain and secure them onto the bottom screws in the same manner. Lastly put the split ring through the cable chain.We hope we have inspired you to design and make your own key hangers with watches.
