Design Your Own Keychain with Adobe Illustrator and the Laser Cutter

Add a personal touch to your key ring with our Custom Keychain Workshop! In this hands-on session, you’ll learn to use Adobe Illustrator to design personalized keychains that will be precisely cut and/or engraved using our laser cutter. In this workshop, you will: 

• Design Basics: Start with setting up your document in Illustrator and explore tools and techniques for creating eye-catching keychain designs. 
• Creative Elements: Learn how to design custom shapes, patterns, and text that reflect your style and can be effectively transferred onto keychains. 
• Preparation for Laser Cutting: Understand how to prepare your Illustrator files for the laser cutter, including setting up the correct file formats and layers for cutting and engraving. 
• Hands-On Creation: Develop your own keychain design from start to finish, with guidance on ensuring your design translates perfectly to the laser-cut keychains.

Participants will craft unique keychains that make great gifts or personal accessories. All materials and equipment will be provided. 

Remember to wear close-toed shoes and review the Maker Hub’s rules on our website before attending.
