Personalized LEGO® Keychain with Laser Engraving
The Creator Spark Challenge
Instruction
Information
This project shows how to turn a LEGO®-style brick into a personalized keychain using laser engraving. It's a quick and fun way to create custom gifts for kids, friends, or party giveaways. The engraved name stands out thanks to a clean contrast effect on ABS plastic – and the whole project takes just a few minutes.
