Let's give keys a chance

Man, that's a terrible post title. Meh, not changing it. We've come too far.

Changed the name of the blog again to tie it to the etsy shop business because marketing. I think. I have no idea what I'm doing.

In between sewing up new bifold wallets (they look so good!) I made this key holder. 


I saw this on Pinterest forever ago and finally decided to make it because I just needed to make something that wasn't related to the etsy shop. I've been surrounded by felt and fabric for months and wanted to bust out some power tools. 


Gathered up all the necessary ingredients , all of which I had on hand, plus a Hobbes. The Hobbes is optional for this project but recommended for an overall cuter life.

This project was so simple. Picture frame, print out of the Old Man from Zelda, some hook screw things, and a power drill. 

At this point, I would recommend doing some careful measuring so that the hooks are placed exactly where you want them on the bottom of the frame. My measurements were going swimmingly. But then this bullshit happened.

 
I didn't make the pilot hole big enough so when I screwed the hook in that mother-father-Chinese-dentist broke so part of the hook was forever stuck in the frame which royally botched my carefully laid plan which meant I just screwed pilot holes where I wanted. 


Which clearly worked out so well. But it's the bottom of the frame which no one will see so who cares. 


Overall, love it. Keys are now corralled in one spot which was all I wanted.
