Plywood key holder
From a sheet of plywood with a thickness of 0.5 cm you can make almost any wall-mounted key holder. You only need a stencil to cut out the desired shape, and a tool for this. By the way, the back wall of old chipboard furniture is perfect.
While you are cutting, the plywood may crack and the edges may break off, but all this can be fixed with a special wood putty. After this, be sure to prime the base so that the paint adheres better, and you can decorate it at your discretion.

Blanks
Blanks for decoupage are sold ready-made in creative and handicraft stores. The price of the product is quite high: from 400 rubles onwards. Craftsmen can make their own blanks for needlewomen, cutting them out of wood or assembling them from slats.
Slab key holder
Slabs, or simply cuts, are now very popular in all eco-interiors, Scandinavian style and lofts. To make an effective wall-mounted key holder, you will need a saw cut, a hard metal sponge, sandpaper, tinting or stain, acrylic varnish, as well as several hangers for fastening and the hooks for the keys themselves.
Work the slab along the grain first with a hard sponge and then with sandpaper so that the texture of the wood appears even better. Using a regular wide synthetic brush, apply alcohol or water stain in several passes. After drying, you can transfer the drawing from the printout onto the wood using the decoupage technique.
Cover everything with acrylic varnish on top to secure the result. The key holder will fit more tightly to the wall if you make several fastenings. Do not screw too many hooks onto one saw, otherwise you will constantly catch other ties while removing the one you need.

Decorative and stylistic design
Decorating is a fascinating creative process. Thanks to him, a boring and faceless product can turn into a work of art. By decorating your creation, you will be able to show remarkable imagination and discover hidden talents in yourself and acquire new skills.
If the craft has a wooden or plastic base, you can decorate it using the decoupage technique. It is quite simple to implement. A thin layer of PVA glue is applied to the surface, then a selected fragment of a napkin with a beautiful pattern is fixed and secured with transparent varnish. The napkins consist of three layers. For decoration, use the top one, on which the image is applied. There are many options for such napkins. There are products that imitate stone, granite or wood. Using this technique, you can quickly decorate it and give it an interesting, original look.
There is another technique, the name of which is similar to the first. It goes by the name – cardboard. To successfully use this technique, you will have to find a variety of pieces of cardboard and fabric. By combining them randomly or according to a drawing, you can create a unique pattern. The good thing about this technique is that it doesn’t require any money, just a little patience and accuracy.
Wooden products can be decorated using a burning device. The image is transferred using tracing paper or simply drawn on the lid of the cabinet and then burned out. The same tool will help you create unique embossing on leather or foil.
Stickers, paint, glitter, beads, shells, miniature decorative elements and even figurines are often used for decoration. Such decorations will make the accessory unique.

Key holders made from cutlery
Very impressive and unusual key holders are made from old forks and knives. In addition to these, you will need fasteners, pliers and, if desired, paint for decoration. You just need to beautifully bend the devices, like hooks, and fix them on the base or directly on the wall. Instead of a base, we offer a wooden kitchen board - a spectacular addition to Provence!

Key holder from a photo frame
A wide, beautiful photo frame can be turned into an equally impressive key holder with minimal effort. As a backing, use a sheet of plywood, which can be painted, decorated with decoupage, or covered with fabric. Screw spectacular decorative hooks randomly right in the center of the improvised panel.

Variety of hooks
If the amount of construction accessories you see makes your eyes run in different directions, don’t limit yourself. Buy ready-made furniture hooks of different shapes and colors and screw them using small self-tapping screws onto one surface (optionally, onto a wooden cutting board).
In this case, you don’t need a strict checkerboard order; place the hooks randomly, but still take into account the length of the keychain so that they don’t get confused later.
Closed key holder
An old unnecessary box is an almost ready-made closed key holder with a door. If it already has a latch or fastening, then all that remains is to screw small hooks for keys inside and hang it on the wall. Aging the mini-wardrobe by hand, paint it, decorate it with decoupage or paste it with old wallpaper. Painting with a dry synthetic brush shows up interestingly on wood - it looks careless, but stylish, and emphasizes the texture of the material.

Other options
Children's versions of the key holder are acceptable. If your children love to play with Lego construction sets, they have a great opportunity to build a home key holder. Overall, the construction process itself will be fun and educational for your child. And in the case of a large family, absolutely everyone can take part. So, you will need the most basic large panel on which to build other elements. Multi-colored building bricks with three holes can act as keys so that you can pick up a keychain. If your construction set does not contain building elements with holes, you can make them using an awl. The whole advantage of a Lego key holder is that you can choose any color that suits you; In addition to hook-bricks, add additional decoration elements (you can even add some kind of winged inscription).
As mentioned earlier, sometimes you have to carry a large collection of keys in your pocket at all times. For this reason, pockets become worn and holes form. And if you also put the gadget with the keys, you will damage everything at once. Therefore, an alternative option would be a pocket key holder. You can also make it yourself or purchase it in a store. But the first option will be more original and beautiful, if of course you try.
Keys are very important things that give us access to everything we need. And if you have a tendency to constantly forget them, try making your own key holder. Even if you are not one of the forgetful people, this storage item will come in handy in any case. It will save you time searching for the right thing, and will serve as a decoration element for your home interior. Of course, you can buy a key holder, but by making it yourself you will achieve greater originality and superiority.
Key holder organizer
Using the same principle, you can turn a drawer divider organizer into a spacious key holder with different sections and small shelves. Just choose a material that is dense enough so that it does not deform under the weight of the keys. And all that remains is to attach it to the wall and screw in a few hooks, or simply drive in nails with neat heads.

10 best ideas on how to decorate a room for the New Year
Brushes
The main brushes for decoupage are:
- wide synthetic brush. Its size should be approximately two 2 cm. The rigidity should be such that it is pleasant to drag the brush across the face.
- fan brush. The width of its fan is about 3 cm. It is used for gluing small motifs.
Small brushes are also used for painting.
A few rules to make your brushes last longer:
- Do not mix paint colors with brushes;
- When working, keep a container of water at hand.
- after work it is necessary to wash all brushes with soap;
Brushes whose width is less than 8 cm should not be left in water for a long time. They experience deformation under their weight and bend.
Key holder made of tree branches
If you love eco-style, we have another option for you - a durable and fairly wide dry branch. Such a key holder will always be unique, because identical branches do not exist even on the same tree. You can save the bark by sanding only the damaged areas.
As with cutting, we recommend covering the branch with stain - it will emphasize the texture and give the tree additional protection. Also, be sure to varnish, even when saving the bark - use sprays for convenience. Screw the hooks in separately or use twigs and twigs instead.

Magnetic key holder
Don’t want to drill into the walls, but double-sided tape doesn’t hold a heavy key holder with bundles well? There is an alternative option - glue a fairly strong magnet to it. And then you can attach the accessory to metal pieces of furniture. Or maybe you still have a refrigerator in the hallway from old memory? Then a practical magnet is definitely your option!

Where is the best place to place a key keeper?
The main rule that should be followed when choosing the location of the key holder is ease of use and the principle of “always in sight”. Owners often lose their keys, and it turns out that they were always lying in one place. Many people will find it convenient to carry a pocket key holder - it is always nearby and fits compactly in a bag or jacket pocket. But the loss of the entire set occurs at once.
The types and purposes of such convenient key holders vary.
If the product is intended for storing household keys (outbuilding, garage, bars on windows and balconies, basement), place it near the front door or on the inside of built-in cabinets. This way, the risk of losing or being stolen is minimized - the structure is separately locked. The hallway (corridor) is an ideal place to attach a key holder. You won't forget your key fob when leaving for work and won't remember in the car - your eyes will focus on the key keeper intuitively.
If you don't feel like drilling into the wall, choose the tabletop type.
Key holder with shelf
To combine useful things with useful things, combine the key holder with a shelf - and you can immediately put your wallet, business card holder or sunglasses on top. You will again need a sheet of plywood or chipboard, self-tapping screws and a screwdriver, the hooks themselves and, optionally, corners for mounting the shelf.
