A bigger, say 6x8 piece and smaller 2x6 piece (or one of these pieces pictured here, Lego part #3176) which conveniently has a hole in it. If you don't use #3176, then take a 2x6 flat piece and drill a hole in it for the keyring. Simple as that.

Finally, add your favorite Lego guy for a finishing touch and you're all done!
