Let's be honest, we'd all have a Hermès AirTag keyring if we could; they're beautiful. Though, we don't all have a small fortune lying around for something to hold our $30 Apple AirTag. Plus, I'm a firm believer in making before buying. So, in this leather working project, I make a DIY AirTag leather keyring, and I've included a FREE leather pattern so you can follow along and learn how to make an Apple AirTag case for yourself!

While it might not be an exact replica of the Hermès product, I've added my own rustic twist to better suit my preferred style and to make it simpler for you to make with the same basic hand tools I've used in this asmr video. This makes this fancy leather keychain a perfect beginner leather working project for anyone looking to try out this craft, or for the more experienced among you looking for a fun project for yourself or as a gift (hint: these things work brilliantly as a gift for that personal touch!). So, if you're looking for the perfect Apple AirTag accessory, this DIY AirTag keychain might be the ideal leather working project for you.
