Key hanger - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Material

1 Wooden animal statue or shape from gift shop
5+ Steel circular screw hooks
2 Loop screw hooks
1 Length of string short

Method

Screw in the circular hooks on one side of wooden shape.
Turn the wooden shape over and screw in the loop hooks into the top of shape about a few cms apart these will be used to hang the key holder
Place piece of string through loop hooks and tie ends together.
Hang on a hook and place keys on circular hooks.

Notes

Was given this wooden statue and was not sure what to do with it as it really wouldn't stand up and just sat there and was forever forgetting keys so made this and hang it near door so I see them as going out ! Never forget them now. :-)

Then you can make something that you actually want to use rather than just buying something that is a key holder from the shops

Such a good idea. Will help prevent the frantic key search that often happens in the mornings
