Make a Summer Van Faux Leather Keychain with a Cricut

In this Cricut crafting video tutorial, I'll show you how to make a Summer Van Faux Leather Keychain using faux leather, heat transfer vinyl, and a Cricut! These keychains are an easy and fun summer Cricut craft.

I love using faux leather and heat transfer vinyl to make simple and fun summer faux leather keychains with my Cricut. These Summer Van Keychains are so easy to make with a Cricut Maker, Maker 3, Explore Air 2 or Explore 3, or even the Cricut Joy.

I have the keychain SVG template available in my SVG shop, with both a personal use and commercial use option:
