This make is a simple layered Football Shirt Keyring project, perfect for football fans, World Cup-themed lessons, or as a personalized gift for the supporter in your life. We’ve used lightweight HIPS and laser laminates, but you can layer any materials you prefer.

All of the files that you need are provided as a free download below, for along with Emma’s instructions and make/personalize your own. Background to the header image by Sandro Schuh on Unsplash.

Step 1 – Download the Design Files

The key in the top-left shows how each color of line should be cut or engraved. The country names beneath the shirts are just labels and do not need to be cut.

This second file is a blank template you can use to design your own shirt. Replace “surname” with your own name and choose your favorite squad number.

Step 2 – Cut Out the Designs

We cut ours using a laser cutter. Some designs include very small separate sections (such as the England or Germany shirts), so take care not to lose the tiny pieces.

Step 3 – Glue It All Together

Each keyring consists of a backing piece (we used black HIPS) and a top layer made from laser laminate. Apply superglue sparingly and use tweezers for the smallest details.

Feed a split key ring through the hole in the design and your personalized football shirt keyring is ready to go!
