DIY Beaded Sports Ball Keychains (24 Pack)

DIY Beaded Sports Ball Keychains are a fast, high-interest craft that feels like team gear the second it is finished. Kids pick their sport, follow the pattern, and walk out with a mini trophy they can clip on a backpack, sports bag, or key ring.

Make Sports Keychains That Feel Like Team Gear

This is the kind of craft that instantly clicks with boys and sports lovers. The moment they see the sports ball designs, they already know what they want to make. Basketball. Football. Baseball. Soccer. Then they build it, bead by bead, and walk out with a finished keychain they actually want to use.

These beaded keychains are quick to set up and easy to run in a group, which makes them a reliable win for schools, camps, and after-school programs. They also make great team spirit add-ons for tournaments, sports banquets, end-of-season parties, and reward days.
