If you're constantly losing your keys or grabbing the wrong set, making a personalized studded leather key ring may be the perfect solution to your problems.

Making your own [key chain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveclips) is easy as all you need is a strip of leather and a few studs of your choice. This also lets you add a more [personal touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot) to something you carry around with you every day and everywhere you go.

While you can pair gold studs with white leather for a chic look, since this is a DIY project you can add your own flare to your key ring by using different colors or shapes.

With a DIY studded leather key ring your roommates will also have peace of mind knowing you didn't accidentally take their keys.
