I wanted to get all of our keys out of a jumbled pile, but could not find a cute key hanger I liked so I decided to make my own. I like the sheet music and Typewriter trends out there right now, so I decided I would incorporate all 3 types of keys: music keys, typewriter keys, and car keys.

And of course being the kind and generous person that I am, I made you a tutorial because good things are meant to be shared right?!
Supplies needed:
- 9×12 wood board (Wal-Mart)
- Black & Brown Craft Paint
- Mod Podge
- Foam Brush
- Sand Paper
- A few old sheets of music (D.I.)
- 8-1″ hooks
- 8-1 1/4 inch Washers
- 4-1 3/4 inch Washers
- Oil rubbed bronze spray paint
- E-6000 or other industrial glue
- Little letter stickers (Robert’s)
- Cream and black card stock
- Free Typewriter font
- Picture hangers (Robert’s)

How to Make a Key Hanger:




6. Add tiny letter stickers to those spots you want labeled. I name our cars Tuck (Hyundai Tuscon) and Tepid (97 Dodge Intrepid that someone needs to haul out of our driveway). I left the top shorter hanging area spots unlabeled for random church keys, relatives house keys, etc.
7. Screw the tiny hooks in with your sheer strength and bare hands.


9. Glue the letters to the big washers. Then, glue the big washers to the label area on top of the board.


Now I can grab my keys off the hanger as I head out to the garage and not have to sift through a pile on a shelf. Yay!

I love this! Very cute…cant wait to make one. Great job.
Wow, how cute! I love all the elements together. Thanks for the tutorial! GREAT job.
THis is awesome. I should talk my kids into making one for me. They’re so sick of me hunting for my keys right as we’re supposed to take the ride-group to school.
LOve it!!! The washers are such a great idea! I will feature this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com tomorrow! You are a hottie1!!
Wow…that’s really cute. I think I might try something like this too! Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
It was so great to meet you at the CBC! You are so super cute!!!!!! Hopefully your creativity will brush off on me some;)
~Goodnight moon!
SO cute! My husband can’t keep track of his keys to save his life! I have taken to hiding the spare set from him so that at least I have one on hand. I’ve been meaning to create a key “spot” for years now. this is cute enough I think I might finally do it!
I could totally use one of those!
So cute! That turned out great –
This is super cute!!!!
You should link it up to CSI…the challenge over there is to use hardware on your project! I linked up this morning!!
=)
Not only is this a great idea, but I love the whole design you did! If I didn’t already have a key holder I would definitely do this!
This is an AWESOME project. Thanks for this post! My keys will no longer be walking away when I’m not looking or hiding under couch cushions.
It turned out great!
And way to use that keyword rich post title. Looks like someone was listening at CBC….
Very cute idea.. and i love the use of the sheet music! We have a mirror hanging on the wall in our doorway, with hooks on it.. for the very purpose of hanging keys and such on them. However my husband never uses them and always forgets where he puts the keys! And sometimes misplaces MY keys!!! grrr… lol maybe if I did one of these he would get it! haha
This is an excellent idea and I love it!

How did I not get the “keys” theme the first time I saw this? I’m so glad I came over and read the whole post. I am in love with the fact that there’s a theme. The whole thing is just lovely, and darling. (did I mention that I like the whole theme thing?)
How trendy! Love the music sheet background. Thanks for sharing … I’ve posted a link.
Such a great key holder. It has so much style! We tweeted about it!
Thanks so much for linking up to The CSI Project’s hardware Store Challenge! We hope you will come back next week for the Martha Stewart-inspired challenge — The MS Craft Department are our guest judges!!!
