Key or Jewelry Holder

Pintrest bender! While I was perusing I found a cute piece of art that could also double as a key ring holder. The project seemed simple enough, and I had everything I needed on hand! Most people have this stuff lying around...except for the keys. I bought mine at Michael's a few months ago, hoping to find a project to use them in.

Supplies I gathered: an old frame, scrap of fabric, keys, hot glue gun, craft glue, paint/paintbrushes.

Craft Supplies

First I had to get the frame disassembled. Remove glass, any art or pictures, and the supporting cardboard. After that I painted the whole thing a golden yellow with a red accent. The accent helps tie it in with my living room where it will be hung. Drying time was pretty fast with acrylic paints.

While it was drying I took the cardboard that was the back of the frame and my fabric of choice. Place the fabric face down and the cardboard on top of that. Cut around the board, leaving at least an inch around the edge.

Use craft glue to glue the edges of the fabric around the cardboard. Let dry.
Screw small hooks into the bottom of the frame to hold keys or jewelry.
Replace the fabric-covered board into frame. Arrange keys how you want them. Hot glue one by one.

The Almost Finished Project

If your frame had hanging hooks or pieces already in place you are finished! Mine didn't so I am thinking of attaching some picture wire and hooks to the back or frame for hanging.
