Making a mirror charm with the Hanging Car Charm Generator
Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes. Methods: laser cutting or 3D printing.
A hanging charm is the fastest personalized car gift: a shaped tag that dangles from the rearview mirror. Start from a funny preset like BEST DRIVER EVER or YOU'RE NOT A RACE CAR DRIVER, then make it your own.
Every shape comes with a welded hanger loop on top, so it is ready for a cord or chain straight off the cutter.
What You'll Need
- Wood or acrylic offcuts; two-tone acrylic makes the engraving pop
- A laser, or an FDM printer
- A cord, ribbon, or chain for the loop
Step 1 - Shape and preset
Pick a preset to load the text and pictogram, then choose a shape: shield, rosette, banner, hexagon, tag, or circle.
Step 2 - Text and pictogram
Edit the top, main, and bottom lines with their own fonts, size the main line, and pick a pictogram like checkered flags, a steering wheel, a trophy, or a car.
Choose Your Build Method
Cut and hang
Download the SVG: the outline and loop cut, the text and icon engrave. Thread a cord through the loop and hang it from the mirror.
