ALL the things you need to know about the Mini-Grippers!
So…not sure why I never thought to consolidate all the info to one page before, but better late than never, right? 😉
I get questions every single day about the Mini Grippers, so let’s address them here!
FAQ #1: What is a Mini Gripper, and why would I need one?
Check out my Facebook video for that answer:
FAQ #2: do you sell these/what would you price these at?
I do not sell these online, and at this time, am only making them for the Pay-It-Forward Program (scroll down to learn more about that!).
If you’d like to buy some, you can head to my #FleaMarketFriday post to see if anyone currently has any to sell, or to comment with your request.
Chances are that one of the 3k+ people who donated this pattern probably has one for sale!
As for what to price these at: I have seen them priced anywhere from $2-3, but it all boils down to how you price your own time, what your material cost is for these products, and who your target market or geographical area is (and what they are willing/able to pay).
In short: there is no one way to price these, so just add a price and test it out!
FAQ #3: What size grommet do I need?
Simply put: one that is big enough to thread your key ring through.
(translation: size varies based on how thick your key ring is!)
I used 1/4” grommets in mine since that’s what I had on hand from making corsets a few years ago.

FAQ #4: do you have instructions for how to make this?
Yes - you can find instructions in TWO places.
The Social Media Series list:
Or, if you’d like a physical pattern & formal instructions to print out, you can download that PDF below.
It is FREE, but if you’d like to help our community PAY IT FORWARD by contributing any amount at checkout, I will personally sew a Mini Gripper Keychain for every paid order to donate to a local facility who will benefit.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and LOVE! 💖
To date (October 2026), we have donated 27 Mini Gripper Keychains to my local community. THANK YOU!!
Here is the video where I announced the Pay It Forward Program:

FAQ #5: oh no - I already downloaded but still want to contribute to the Pay-It-Forward Program! Is it too late?
Not at all!
Simply click on the picture above to head to the Payhip page, where you can request it again (and this time, make a contribution before checking out).
Thank you for asking! THIS is why my little community is the BEST! 💖
