Where Are My Keys?


Where are my keys???  You too?
    I went to my scrap wood again, and found some OSB.    I am going to run out of scraps with all these "Use Em Up" projects.  Check this one out....  Champagne Chicken Scraps.   



I fired up the sander and sanded and sanded and sanded. 


  

 I laid out my plastic and painted it pretty with some homemade chalk paint.  You can see that project if you CLICK HERE!... I think I put on 3 coats.  This picture shows the first coat.


  I let it dry and sanded the edges.

 Next step was to gather up my key supplies and attach them with epoxy.


 I printed some numbers from Word on the computer and cut them to fit behind my tags.

  I glued them onto the back of some tags I found at the dollar store. I used four packages " $1.00 each.

  The cup hooks were purchased at Home Depot and cost $3.60 for all.   I had to paint them cuz the brass was too shiny.  



 That was my total cost.  $12.10  The wood was scrap and paint were from other projects.   I assembled everything



 and this is what I ended up with.  


 I am going to attach two more keys to the top when I find some.
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MY KEYS.
Cheers!

  7. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I wasn't sure about this project, but we did need a new key hanger as our old one was just not cutting it. It is functionable, but I believe I need to do something else with it. If I do, I will reblog it! But thanks for your encouragement!
