Llavero Laberiso

Llavero is simply Spanish for keyring, and the rest of the name gives the idea away: a maze worked into a flat fob that rides on a set of keys. The pattern of channels, turnings and dead ends reads as ornament at a glance and as a genuine puzzle if anyone stops long enough to trace it, which is more than most keyrings ever manage. It belongs to the small, satisfying category of things that make good throwaway gifts. Market stalls, party bags, a maker fair table, the end of a school club term. Printed on its own it is a bit of pocket ornament; printed as a batch it becomes a boxful of stocking fillers, all identical and all cheap enough to hand out without thinking about it. One file, so there is nothing to choose between before you begin.
