Father’s Day Gift Idea: Nautical Knot Keychains
When it comes to brainstorming gift ideas, Father’s Day generally seems to give people more trouble than Mother’s Day. That’s why we’ve been on the lookout for clever gift ideas for dad so we can share them with you here, and we hit gold when we ran across this DIY Sailor Knot Keychain tutorial from Michael Ann Made.
Because we have a couple knitters on our staff, we decided to make some easy knitted icord for our Nautical Knot Keychains using scrap yarn from past projects. However, even if you aren’t a knitter, you can easily replace the icord with a thick length of rope or twine for a unique take on the project.
To personalize our Nautical Knots, we added two blue gift tags in the style Color Wash that say:
Happy Father’s Day
Love Lindsay
and
Thanks, Dad
For being my anchor
The Color Wash style is particularly good for this project because it offers a charm option. We, of course, had to choose the anchor charm to go with the nautical theme of the project.
Once you put your the whole keychain together with your key ring, personalized tags, some keys, and maybe even a few themed charms or trinkets, this project comes together to make a unique gift for dad. Happy upcoming Father’s Day!
Used In This Project:
- Small Diamond Gift Tags • I chose the “Color Wash” style in deep blue.
- Heart Shaped Gift Tags • I chose the “Color Wash” style in deep blue.

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
Oo very nice.
