It can be hard to resist collecting cute trinkets and even harder to use them, if you’re scared of losing or damaging your favourites. There’s no need to hide them away though – I’ve got lots of shopping picks and DIY ideas for displays so you can enjoy them every day.
After coming up with adorable pin and art print display ideas, Tokyo Shojo (US) now has keychain displays too! They come in 3 cute designs and multiple colours that you can mix and match. Best of all, they can be hung with either nails or removable adhesive, so great for renters and the indecisive.
Sanrio’s mesh display panels are another cute option and you can hang hooks and mini shelves on to it. You could also prop this against a wall, or even hang it with Command strips if your trinkets are light. Plaza Japan (JP) has Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Usahana and Hangyodon in stock, as well as a couple of the little display shelf below.
The SKÅDIS peg boards from IKEA (global) aren’t as cute but they’re even more flexible and come in multiple sizes and colours, including freestanding. There’s loads of accessories like hooks, shelves and clips, plus you can find compatible 3D printed accessories on Etsy in pastel and kawaii designs.
I started hanging keychains on the frame of my pinboard and it’s a really cheap and easy way to add some extra cute to your desk or bedroom. I used colourful pins from Paperchase but you can also glue cute cabochons on to plain pins – Happy Kawaii Supplies (UK) have a vast range. If you add enough extra depth, you can pin them on the actual cork part too. I painted the cloud design using acrylic paint – there’s a full tutorial in The Super Cute Book of Kawaii. (and yes, I know it’s not advisable to store your necklaces like this but I wear them so rarely it’s still an improvement for me!)
You can also add pins, hooks or magnets to other furniture for extra hanging space – check my Cute Wall Hooks & Hangers post for ideas, including adhesive options. This display shelf at PB Teen (US) is designed for medals, but you could hang so many cute trinkets there instead and display more stuff on top.
If you only want to display a few special keychains, or rotate them regularly, a key holder can be a cute option. There are loads of options with hooks but I have a Pusheen one with a magnetic base that I love. You can find similar cloud key holders on Amazon (global) or add hooks to a picture frame or house-shaped box.
Kyhi Creative (US) have cute carousel organisers with hooks for your plush keychains. You can rotate it to enjoy them all so they’d be great on a shelf or desk. As they’re 3D printed, you can choose your colour too.
For smaller keychains and hanging charms, Oshoppu (UK) have extremely affordable Oshi Katsu display cases that will keep your favourites from collecting dust or fading colours. They’re stackable too, so you can add more as your collection grows.
