I have been in orchestra with these students for 8 years and I think that they deserve something to remember these 8 crazy years. It needed to be something small so that I could make about 30 of them for all the students. I decided that it would be key chains because they are small and easy enough to make 30.
I designed the key chain in Illustrator.
I then used the laser to engrave and cut the key chains out of extra acrylic that was laying around.
Once I had 30, I added the key chain loop to them.
At the last concert of my senior year, I gave each senior a key chain.
