Materials:

• Dremel 8050 Micro multi-tool or similar model(possible separately grinder, saw, drill)
• wooden block approximately 2.5 cm x 5 cm x 14 (we made it for 4 keys, if you need a different number, take the appropriate size)

1. Mark with a pencil the place for the hangers on the back side of the block and use an engraving cutter to make recesses with a depth of approximately 3 mm(the bar is symmetrical, so choose one of the two back sides at your discretion).
2. In the place where there is an opening in the suspension, make recess another 3 mm.
3. Place the hangers on the block and secure them with screws.
4. On the front of the block, make marks for 4 openings(parallel, as in the photo) and using a cutter attachment, make indentations about 1 cm deep.

Ideas for key holders using improvised means

From a tennis ball

Easy way to make a key holder from a tennis ball:

• fasten with liquid nails a ball to the suction cup (bath hooks are sold like this),
• make a cut with a sharp knife in the center
• decorate: attach eyes (can be taken from an old doll) or draw with a marker.

Key holders can be wall-mounted or pocket-mounted. Pocket cases are made of leather or fabric. There are hooks for keys inside the case. This type of key holder contributes more to the convenience of carrying keys in a bag and teaches neatness and organization (keys in a case are inconvenient to carry in pockets).

Key holders that hang on the walls are open and closed design. Closed key holders are not very convenient if you have to use them frequently (the doors of the structure will have to be constantly opened and closed).

Open key holder design

The shape of the key holder largely depends on the place where the key holder will be nailed. Perhaps it will be long and narrow, or shaped like a square or a circle. For the first time, you can come up with a sketch complex model and feel free to get to work.

Wooden planks are a favorite material to work with.

Wood planks are the most favorite material for crafts. First of all, they are easy to find. Secondly, planks of any length and thickness are suitable. Thirdly, the planks can be folded into any shape and connected to each other in any sequence. Another important argument is the fact that wood is easy to process. For example, using sandpaper you can sand the surface until smooth. The surface of the wood can be coated with paint, varnish, or stain. Each time it will be a completely different appearance of the wooden surface. But still, the base of the key holder will be in a strict classical style.

If you want to enhance the wood pattern, then wire brush needs to be broken flat surface planks. After this, varnish, paint, and stain are applied. Again, the drawing will be different each time, but soft spots after coating they become darker and this is how the wood pattern appears on the surface.

To the processed wooden surface After it has completely dried, the hooks are nailed. You can use the same hooks, but hooks that are different in color, shape, or material will give your key holder some uniqueness.

It's easier to work with plywood

Using plywood will reduce working time. the main task- this is to come up with an interesting figure for the key holder. You can cut out a large key, a dachshund, a mouse, a sleeping cat. The surface of plywood, unlike wood, does not require treatment. All you need to do is sand the cut areas (edges of the plywood). To make them smooth, they are coated with paint. Last step– attach hooks in a strict order or randomly.

An original way to use picture frames

You can make an unusual key holder using a picture frame. Hooks can be attached to the frame itself to the top bar on the back side. It is also recommended to attach the chipboard base with brackets on the reverse side. It can be decorated with wallpaper or small multi-colored mosaics, painted, or simply glued on a design. Hooks can then be attached to this base.

Key holder made of wood and without hooks

It will be unusual to see a key holder without hooks. Wood is used to make it. The trick is that the keys are not hung, but inserted into the slot. It is not difficult to make such a gap in a wooden base. You can cut the slot exactly along horizontal line, or you can do it with an acute angle to the wall. For this you need milling machine or circular saw. You can carefully achieve a good result with a regular saw. The cracks made must be carefully processed.

Key holder in youth design

If you have non-working panels of any instruments, then they can be used to decorate an unusual avant-garde key holder. It is important that the panel has sockets for plugs. A carefully cut panel from the device is screwed to the wall. The key is connected to the ring, a plug is attached to the ring, which can be inserted into the socket of the new key holder. So the key, with the help of its unusual keychain-plug, will be attached to its new place.

An interesting key holder will be in the form of the neck of any stringed instrument, for example, a guitar. If it is inconvenient to hang the keys on the neck pegs, you can attach additional hooks.

Unusual options for key holder models

Nobody says that creating key holders is necessarily a long and painful process. You can take a non-standard approach to this issue. Then the key holder will be ready in 5 minutes.

1. The connectors will play the role of a key holder, and the plugs will act as key fobs. The new key holder-connector is simply screwed to the wall in the selected location. By inserting the plugs into the sockets, the keys are hung in their places. The work will take 20 minutes.
2. Hooks are hung on a straight stick with aluminum wire. The stick can be painted or wrapped with multi-colored woolen thread. A rope is tied at both ends of the stick. The original key holder is hung on it by nailing a nail or hook into the wall.
3. A key holder is made quickly and originally from wine bottle corks. Wine corks connected to each other using glue. You must wait until it dries completely. You need to buy hooks and screws on sale. Such a screw is screwed into the cork surface along with the hook. Minimum costs and the original design of the key holder.

The required number of hooks and the size of the structure depend on your wishes and, to a greater extent, on the number of household members. If the family is large, you need to make sure that the model is durable. It is recommended to hang the key holder at eye level of the youngest family member (not counting, of course, the tiny baby). The key holder needs to be decorated so that it fits harmoniously into the interior of the corridor. Invite the children to design a model of a key holder and let them show their creativity.

Necessary materials for work.

To get started we need to know inner dimensions frames Using a jigsaw, we cut out a rectangle of the required size from a piece of plywood.We take a thin drill (with a diameter 1-2 mm smaller than the screws on which we will attach the fittings) and drill all the necessary holes.We cover the plywood with acrylic primer or white paint. When the primer is dry, sand it with medium-grit sandpaper (No. 600-800) and wipe with a damp cloth.

For the frame we use paint that matches the color.

Now we will decorate our product using the decoupage technique. Place the image face down on a stationery file and moisten it well with water, smoothing out the bubbles formed on the surface from the center to the edges.Apply glue to the primed plywood base and immediately attach a file with a decoupage card. Again, smooth the card from the center to the edges (it is convenient to use a pressure roller). The file can now be removed.

If there are small folds left somewhere, the pattern can be smoothed out with wet (!) fingers. Leave to dry for 2 hours.

Now you can tint the frame with diluted acrylic paint. Apply acrylic varnish with a synthetic brush.We insert the plywood into the frame, screw in the hangers and hooks.

It would be great for budding designers to try their hand at creating open key holders.

The pentagon easily turns into a key house. Even an ordinary circle can be played up if, by adding a few details, you build from it, for example, a similar hot air balloon. We cut out the shape along the contour and trace the resulting pattern with chalk or a simple pencil.Now you will need a jigsaw.

Carefully, slowly, cut out the selected shape along the contour.

It happens that chips form on plywood when working with this technique, especially if the plywood is not in its first youth.
