Crochet Poop & Toilet Paper Roll Couple Keychain Tutorial

Learn how to crochet this funny poop and toilet paper roll couple keychain, from spiral shaping and color changes to wire support and final hardware attachment.

Two tiny characters turn basic yarn work into an amusing handmade charm. This crochet couple combines brown spiral shaping with layered white and dark beige details, giving each crochet piece its own recognizable form while keeping construction compact and practical.

What makes this crochet design especially interesting is its shaping process. Wire supports both pieces, while careful stuffing gives poop its rounded body and coiling creates its signature silhouette. Toilet paper roll uses color changes, hdc rows, and wire framing for its miniature form.

Give Poop Its Spiral Shape

Insert 0.7 mm craft wire through length of long tube. Wire provides structural stability during shaping.

Roll and coil tube into characteristic spiral poop profile.

Use pins to hold coils in position, then stitch coils together firmly with matching brown sewing thread or yarn.

Crochet Toilet Paper Roll

Work this piece back and forth in rows using dark beige and white yarn.

Start Dark Beige Strip

Make slip knot, then ch 6.

Row 1: Skip first ch. Work 1 sc in second ch from hook, followed by 1 sc in each remaining 4 chs, giving 5 sc.

Rows 2–3: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in each of 5 sts.

During final stitch of Row 3, stop when 2 loops remain on hook. Drop dark beige yarn, pick up white yarn, pull through to complete stitch, then ch 1 to turn.

Continue With White Yarn

Row 4: Carry dark beige and white yarn tails along back edge to trap and hide them. Work 1 hdc in each of 5 sts.

Trim hidden tail short.

Rows 5-20: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 hdc in each stitch across for 17 rows of white, keeping 5 sts per row.

For finishing, ch 1 to secure, fasten off, then weave in remaining ends.

Frame Toilet Paper Roll With Wire

Cut 12 cm of 0.7 mm craft wire.

Bend wire into square frame matching width of crocheted strip.

Position crocheted strip so color-change seam stays hidden on interior side.

Wrap strip tightly around wire frame. Secure with hot glue, but leave final 3 rows unglued. This creates realistic loose paper flap.

Bring Both Characters Together

With poop spiral secured and toilet paper roll framed, prepare both pieces for hardware.

Attach finished keychain hardware through top loops of both pieces.

For customization, add cute embroidered faces using pink and black embroidery floss. Blush can give both characters extra expression.

Safety eyes or felt cutouts can also create expressive, comical faces.

These details are optional, so core shapes remain intact even when faces are omitted.

Ready for Use or Gifting

Check that both top loops hold keychain hardware securely and that wire remains enclosed within each shaped piece.

Finished pair works nicely as miniature backpack charm, bag tag, or humorous couple keychain. With optional faces, blush, safety eyes, or felt details, each character can take on its own playful personality.
