Make a Key Hanger

What you’ll need

Plywood or any piece of wood

Image/s for decoration or paint

Command hooks,

Stapler (optional)

Wood glue,

Fishing line or string or wire,

Paint brush

Take a piece of wood (mine is a plywood scrap from another project) and apply wood glue or any kind of glue suitable for wood, and wrap with a blank A4 sheet of paper (this size was good for me you may need more or less ok?) wrap it like a present and then leave it dry. I did this because I wanted my decorative picture to look clearer. I was afraid that if I didn’t it would appear transparent because it was a laser print and that’s not the best printing quality. Images cut from a magazine or from thicker paper won’t have the same issue. I also used some black trim for the edges. If you are not lazy like me you can paint it instead of collage it.

Staple twice at the back so it creates "hooks". Do that before anything else because later you’ll attach the command hooks and it will no longer have a flat surface. If you don’t own a staple gun there is a brilliant idea that I saw somewhere to use a soda can tab. You simply remove the tab and screw the smaller hole on your surface. Make the attachments lower (nor top neither middle somewhere in between) than I because at the end mine was “bending” and I had to do it again.

Apply glue again and then picture/s of choice. A few days ago I was reading this blog (https://emsolo.wordpress.com/) when i found a picture I really liked. I asked the photographer if it's ok for me to use the picture, he said yes and now i have a beautiful piece of sky in my windowless hallway. Thank you Ed!

When dry, attach the command hooks, as many as you like. Mine had a sticker and also a screw because.. poor quality. Then it’s ready for hanging. i used fish line because I hanged it from an already existing nail that was far higher, and I wanted to appear like it was floating.

Happy hanging :-)
