Crochet keychains as bag charms in Singapore
A bag charm is a small way to make an everyday bag feel like your own. Many bags look alike, and a little crochet piece hanging from the strap can make yours easy to spot. This post looks at the crochet keychains Sticky Smiley Studio has on its shelves, a few ways to wear them as bag charms, and some general tips on keeping them looking neat.
What a crochet bag charm is
A bag charm is simply a keychain worn on a bag instead of, or as well as, on a set of keys. Crochet is soft, so a crochet charm sits easily on a strap or a ring on the side of a bag. As a general point, a soft charm is less likely to scratch a bag than a hard one.
The keychains on the shelf
Every keychain on the Crochet Keychain shelf is $5.00.
The Pink Strawberry Keychain ($5.00) is a pink fruit with a green leafy top. The Avocado Keychain ($5.00) has a small bell on it. The Sweet Watermelon ($5.00) has a green top, and it is a cheerful pick for a plain bag.
For something with flowers, the Flora Keychain ($5.00) is a bell-flower bouquet in several colours. The Mini Purple Flower Bouquet Keychain ($5.00) has a yellow wrap around purple blooms. The Mini Red Rose Bouquet Keychain ($5.00) is a bunch of red roses, and the Mini Sunflower Bouquet Keychain ($5.00) is a sunny pick with sunflowers.
Ways to wear a keychain as a bag charm
There is no wrong way to do it, but here are a few ideas to start with.
- Hang it from the strap of a backpack, where it is easy to see.
- Hang it from the ring on the side of a handbag.
- Put two together, such as a fruit and a flower, for a small cluster.
- Add one to a pencil case or a school bag, so a child can tell it apart from the others.
- Keep one on your house keys too, so your bag and your keys match.
Matching a charm to a pouch
If you like things that match, a charm and a pouch can go together. The Daisy Drawstring Pouch ($8.00) is blue with a yellow daisy, and it sits well beside the sunflowers of the Mini Sunflower Bouquet Keychain. The Pinky Paw Pouch ($8.00) is pink with a paw face, and it pairs nicely with the Pink Strawberry Keychain.
The rest of the Handmade Crochet collection has more pieces to look through.
General tips for keeping a crochet charm neat
A charm on a bag goes everywhere the bag goes, so it can pick up dust and the odd splash. These general tips help keep it looking good.
- Wipe off small marks with a damp cloth before they set.
- For a deeper clean, a gentle hand wash in cool water with a little mild soap is a common tip for yarn pieces.
- Press the water out with a towel rather than wringing it, then let it dry flat in the shade.
- Avoid the washing machine: take the charm off before the bag is washed.
- Keep it out of strong sun for long hours, a general tip for keeping colours bright.

A small gift idea too
A keychain also makes a small gift on its own, slipped into a card or added to a bigger present. For more ideas, the Secret Santa crochet gifts under $10 in Singapore post has a list of crochet gifts for gift swaps.
