Short answer: a handmade crochet keychain costs between Rs 400 and Rs 2,500. Simple charms like a bow or a cherry start at Rs 400, characters and animals sit around Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,900, and the largest detailed pieces reach Rs 2,500. Every one is crocheted to order in the colours you choose.
Keychains are the piece I make most, so here is the honest breakdown of what you get at each price.
What keychains cost
| Kind | Price | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Small simple charms | Rs 400 to Rs 600 | Bow, cherry, daisy, bee, swiss roll |
| Little characters | Rs 750 to Rs 1,400 | Chicks in hats, baby penguin, goat, orange |
| Detailed characters | Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,500 | Headphones cat, larger animals and figures |

Why the price changes
- Size and stitch count. A bow is a few rounds. A cat with headphones is a body, a head, ears, limbs and accessories, each made separately and sewn together.
- Number of colours. Every colour change means joining and securing yarn ends, which takes time and makes the finished piece stronger.
- Small parts. Tiny hats, scarves and held objects are separate little projects of their own.
Good uses for a keychain
- A small gift that is not small. Under Rs 1,000, made in her favourite colour, and it lives on her bag for years.
- Matching pairs. One for each of you. There are pairs in the couples collection from Rs 1,550.
- Return gifts and party favours. Several small charms at Rs 400 to Rs 600 each is a common order, and I take bulk requests depending on how busy I am.
- Bag charms. The current fashion for a charm on a handbag suits these perfectly.
Ordering a set
If you want several, message me early with the number, the designs and the colours. A set of eight takes a good deal longer than one, so lead time matters more than for a single piece. Delivery is Rs 300, free over Rs 3,500, which a set of six or more usually reaches.
