🧶 How I Made Money with This Super Easy Crochet Ball Keychain!

If you love crafting and are looking for a fun and beginner-friendly way to earn extra income, let me tell you how I turned a simple crochet ball keychain into a mini business!

💡 The Idea

It all started with my love for crochet. I was making tiny amigurumi for fun when I realized that crochet ball keychains are not only adorable but super fast to make—and people LOVE them. I made one, clipped it to my bag, and instantly got compliments. That’s when I knew I had something worth selling.

✨ Materials I Used

You don’t need fancy supplies to get started. Here’s my basic list:

Worsted weight yarn (cotton or acrylic)
3.5 mm crochet hook
Polyfill stuffing
Yarn needle
Keychain rings (with chain and jump ring)
Optional: safety eyes or embroidery floss for facial features

🛒 Most of these I got in bulk from Amazon or a local craft store.

🧵 How I Made the Crochet Ball

Here’s the basic pattern I used (beginner-friendly!):

I made these in cute colors—pastels, rainbow sets, or school/team colors depending on where I was selling.

🛍️ Where I Sold Them

I tried a few avenues, and each one worked in different ways:

Etsy Shop
I listed them as “Kawaii Crochet Ball Keychain” with customizable colors and optional faces. They were cheap to ship and easy to restock.
Craft Fairs & Farmer’s Markets
These were super popular with kids and teens. I displayed them in a cute little bowl and offered “Buy 3, Get 1 Free” deals.
Instagram / TikTok
I posted reels and stories showing how I made them—people DMed me to order!
School Fundraisers or Gift Shops
Local schools or boutiques loved them when I offered custom school colors or mascot add-ons.

💰 How Much I Charged

Pricing was key:

$5 each or 3 for $12 at in-person events
On Etsy: $6.50–$8 each, depending on customization

Each one cost me about $0.75–$1.00 to make, and I could crochet one in under 15 minutes!

📈 How I Made Real Money

Here’s what made it take off:

Batch production: I made 20+ at a time.
Themed sets: Halloween pumpkins, Easter eggs, Valentine’s hearts (using the same ball base).
Custom orders: People wanted initials, emojis, or color combos.
Bundles: Parents bought them as party favors or teacher gifts.

I averaged around $200–$500/month during busy seasons like holidays, and even more when I did in-person markets!
