Making a plate keychain with the License Plate Charm Generator
Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes. Methods: laser cutting or 3D printing.
A mini novelty plate makes a great keyring or bag charm. Start from a preset like WORLD'S BEST DAD, then edit the lines and drop the hanger ring wherever it looks best along the top.
It defaults to a small keychain size, but you can type anything and scale it up.
What You'll Need
- Two-tone acrylic, for example brushed gold engraves black
- A laser, or an FDM printer
- A split ring or keyring for the hole
Step 1 - Text and size
Pick a preset or type your own top, main, and bottom lines, each with its own font. Set the plate size; small is the default keychain scale.
Step 2 - Hanger ring
Turn on the hanger ring and slide it along the top edge; it stays welded to the plate wherever you place it. Set the ring and hole sizes to fit your keyring.

Cut and clip
