With the housekeeper in the hallway, you will forever forget about the keys you lost somewhere in the apartment. You will no longer have to urgently search for them in all the nooks 15 minutes before the exit. And your beloved pet will definitely not drive them under the refrigerator or behind the sofa. Finally, order will reign on the table with the small change at hand, cards and wallets. Moreover, you can make a beautiful wall key holder with your own hands!
1. Plywood key holder
Almost any wall key holder can be made from a sheet of plywood with a thickness of 0.5 cm. All you need is a stencil, according to which you 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 chip, but all this can be fixed with a special wood putty. After that, be sure to prime the base so that the paint will lay better, and you can decorate it at your discretion.
2. Slab key holder
Slabs, or simply cuts, are now very popular in all eco-interiors, Scandinavian style and loft. To make a spectacular wall key holder, you will need the saw cut itself, a hard metal sponge, sandpaper, tinting or stain, acrylic varnish, as well as several hangers for fastening and the key hooks themselves.
Work the slab along the grain, first with a hard sponge and then sandpaper, so that the texture of the wood appears even better. Using a regular, wide synthetic brush, apply the alcohol or water stain in several passes. After drying, you can transfer the drawing from the decoupage printout to the tree.
Cover everything with acrylic varnish on top to consolidate the result. The key holder will fit more tightly to the wall if you make several fasteners. Do not fasten too many hooks on one saw cut, otherwise you will constantly cling to other bundles, removing the desired one.
3. Key holders from cutlery
Very spectacular and unusual key holders are obtained from old forks and knives. In addition to them, you will need fasteners, pliers and, if desired, paint for decoration. You just need to bend the devices beautifully, like hooks, and fix them on the base or directly on the wall. Instead of a substrate, we offer a wooden kitchen board - an effective addition to Provence!
4. Key holder from the photo frame
A wide, beautiful photo frame can be turned into an equally spectacular housekeeper with minimal effort. Use a sheet of plywood as a substrate, which can be painted with paints, decorated with decoupage or covered with fabric. Fasten spectacular decorative hooks chaotically right in the center of the improvised panel.
5. Closed housekeeper
An old unnecessary box is an almost ready-made closed key holder with a door. If she already has a latch or fastener, then all that remains is to screw small key hooks inside and hang on the wall. Old the mini-cabinet by hand, paint it, decorate it with decoupage or cover it with old wallpaper. On wood, staining with a dry synthetic brush appears interestingly - it looks casual, but stylish, and emphasizes the texture of the material.
6. Key holder-organizer
By the same principle, an organizer-divider for a drawer can be turned into a spacious key holder with different sections and small shelves. Just select 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 fasten a few hooks, or just drive in nails with neat hats.
7. Key holder made of tree branches
If you love eco-style, we have another option for you - a strong and wide enough 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.
Like the saw cut, we recommend covering the branch with wood stain - it will accentuate the texture and give the tree additional protection. Also, be sure to varnish, even when preserving the bark - use sprays for convenience. Screw the hooks in separately or use twigs and twigs instead.
8. Key holder on a magnet
Do you want to drill the walls, but double-sided tape does not hold a weighty key holder with ligaments well? There is an alternative - glue a strong enough magnet to it. And then you can fix the accessory on the 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!
9. Housekeeper with shelf
To combine useful with useful, combine the key holder with the shelf - and you can immediately fold up a wallet, business card holder or sunglasses. You will again need a sheet of plywood or chipboard, screws and a screwdriver, the hooks themselves and, optionally, corners for mounting the shelf.
10. Lego key holder
The old designer just as easily turns into a convenient practical housekeeper - to the delight of children and all household members. If the parts hold tight enough without glue, make key rings out of them - and you don't even need to screw in the hooks.
