It depends on what type of keychain your making.
for split rings and ball chain you can try Fire mountain gems.

The split rings are fairly common at craft shops like joannas, hobbylobby, michales, walmart, target and others. particularly this time of year with more children off from school. boondogal and other camp crafts use them a lot.

if your looking for the leather bits attached to the split ring you might try tandy, weaver, or other leather supply shop. etsy will likely have them cheap from china but you may find a domestic supplier there as well.

Do a search on etsy. I've found some cool brass ones & there are all kinds of others for sale.

I like those made by Burgard Studio. I don't see them on their website, but it would be worth it to email them and inquire. Perhaps they have them in stock. Jeri
