Needlepoint Key Fobs
A needlepoint key fob is a small piece of hand-stitched canvas finished with leather, made to ride on the keys you carry every day. Choose a ready-made design, stitch a ZIP code that means something, or create a fob around your own idea. Every Good Threads key fob is stitched by hand in Haiti.

What Makes a Needlepoint Key Fob Different
Most promotional keychains are printed or molded. A needlepoint key fob is built stitch by stitch. Our stitchers work the design in pearl cotton thread on 18-count mono canvas, covering the canvas completely so the pattern has real texture and depth. The finished needlepoint is then trimmed in full-grain leather and fitted with keychain hardware.
Pearl Cotton Thread
A smooth, slightly glossy thread that gives each motif crisp color and a raised, textured surface.
18-Count Canvas
Eighteen stitch openings per inch leave room for fine detail, like the numbers in a ZIP code or the face of a dog.
Full-Grain Leather
The leather backing and trim give the fob its structure, so it holds its shape on a busy key ring.
Stitched by Hand
Each design is stitched by hand in Haiti, not printed or machine-made, so no two fobs are exactly alike.
Ready-made, ZIP code or custom

Shopping for a date on the calendar?
ZIP code and custom fobs are stitched to order, so work backward from the day you need them. If time is short, start with a ready-made design and check its availability before you order. If you have a firm deadline, ask our team before placing a custom order.
From idea to key ring
How a Custom Needlepoint Key Fob Comes Together
A custom key fob starts as an idea and ends as a stitched piece you approved before a single thread went into the canvas. Here is what to expect after you order the Custom Needlepoint Keychain.
- Place your order. Purchase the Custom Needlepoint Keychain.
- Share your idea. We reach out by email and you send us your idea, artwork or logo, plus any colors you have in mind.
- Review your mockup. Our designers send a digital mockup so you can see the layout and colors before stitching begins.
- Approve the design. Stitching starts only after you approve the mockup.
- Stitched and finished. Our stitchers in Haiti work the design by hand and it is finished in leather. Allow 5 to 8 weeks after approval for delivery.
Ideas That Translate Well
A key fob is a small canvas, so bold shapes and a few strong colors read best. Initials, a simple logo, a mascot, a boat name or a single icon all work well. Very fine lettering or a busy photo usually needs to be simplified, and our designers will suggest how in your mockup.
Ordering for a Group
The custom keychain is built for people and organizations alike. A club emblem, a company logo or a team mascot makes a practical gift for members, staff or clients. Tell us the quantity and your date when you share your idea so we can plan the schedule with you.

Caring for a Needlepoint Key Fob
- Keep sharp keys and tools from rubbing against the stitched face where you can.
- Wipe off dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak the fob or put it in the washing machine.
- If the leather or stitching gets wet, let it air dry away from direct heat.
- Contact us about a snag or a stain before trying a cleaner or a repair.
