Looking for Key Chains That You Can Insert a Picture

I am looking to buy keychains that come with the plastic picture frame attached. I need a couple dozen and have called Michaels and hobby lobby and they don't carry them. I am making an aunt and uncle appreciation day and want to customize each key chain for each in-law. I was going to do t-shirts, but since my husband is the 5 of nine it was getting expensive especially when you add their spouses too. I really want to do something special for them since they do so much for our children. I have the appreciation day planned for next Saturday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what help you have already gotten. But JC Penney and Target portrait sudios carries them. I think they are 1.99 each.

I don't how large of a keychain you are looking for, but Target in Lewisville had some little ones in their dollar isle (pack of 3 for $1) a couple weeks ago. We bought some and they are pretty decent for only being a buck.

Aaron Brothers. I know they have locations in NRH and Las Colinas. They sell frame and art supplies.

If you don't find them, I can show you how to put the pictures between 2 pieces of small glass and seal the edges. They can use them to put on key chains or a necklace or whatever they want. Or I can make them for you, depending on how much time you have. L. ###-###-#### or ###-###-####

I'm pretty sure that I saw cute leather ones that you add a photo to at Sam Moons in Frisco.
Good luck - it's a wonderful idea.

Depending on how soon you need them I own a company and we do printing of all kinds of things including keychains. we print a photo on the kepchain itself both front and back so you can use 2 photos of your choice. (they have to be digital so you can email them to me)

any way I can email you a sample as well... check out my website and let me know if you are interested. www.celebritypartyfavors.com I think my key chain is listed under business printing or fundraising but I can email you a photo of it if you want. these are top quality printed keychains not photos in plastic.

I have bought them at Hobby Lobby.
I have also bought Ornaments from Hobby Lobby that you can put pictures in & used them for key chains. The ornaments are alot cutier than just plain frames.

JCPenney portrait studio currently has a special - 3 for $4.00, which is cheaper than I've found them anywhere else, including wal-mart. Better quality, too. If you had more time, you might check out Oriental Trading Company - but since not, JCP P

Try Aaron Brothers...they sometimes carry that type of thing and it would be a little higher quality.

Good luck!

Sorry I missed this one and hope not too late.

Hallmark has the best one. It is the size of a wallet or smaller and has the most loving message inscribed on the back like "My heart is always with you". Its about $5-$7 a piece. I bought one for both grandmas and put the kid's name on the back. I even made one into a necklace - turned out very nice.

Hope this wasn't too late to help!

It is so thoughtful of you to show appreciation to your family members. If you want to personalize them inexpensively, contact ____@____.com. Irene, at Sew Nice, can insert the embroidered fabric into a plastic key chain (she has them in stock) and you can insert the photo on the other side.

Maybe check Walmart. Also, photo places, like pictrue people or JC Penny photography studio in the malls. Even a photo developer place (do they still have these?) Also, maybe try the dollar store. And, Walgreens/Eckard/CVS at the photo developer counter.

I hope you can find them. What a great idea!

Did you check the portrait studios. I know when my kids were younger you could always buy them at Sears and JcPenney. You might check Walmart portrait also. They might even have them near the Photo lab at walmart. Hope this helps.

I have seen them at walmart. Now-if you have several wal-marts near you- try looking at more than one. (Each wal-mart carries different items sometimes -that is based on what they feel sells in different locations)

If no luck-try target-but I know I have seen them at wal-mart.

Good luck.
