Key holder for an athlete
You can make a key holder for the hallway with your own hands from any available materials. Anything that you can stick the keys into, hang it on, or magnetize it to is suitable for this. In an apartment where young people who love sports live, an extravagant key holder can be made from a tennis ball, cutting a slot in it into which it is convenient to stick keys. And if you decorate it with eyes, then a funny green “friend” will “settle” in the hallway.

Key holder as a work of art
You can make an interesting fantasy wall-mounted key holder with your own hands from a picture frame, a wooden base and various hooks. Such a key holder will decorate a hallway in an eclectic style, which allows for a mixture of different styles.
Construction stores have a wide range of hooks of different shapes and colors. Select a dozen hooks of different shapes, paint them in different colors if desired. Choose a baguette with a laconic or, conversely, elaborate design. As a base, you can cut a piece of plywood or use a ready-made wooden kitchen board. Attach the hooks to the base in a chaotic manner using small self-tapping screws. Attach the picture frame with special wood glue or nail it with thin nails.
Required materials and accessories
To make such a useful piece of furniture, you will need a number of different materials. Below is a sample list:
- wooden or cardboard structure as a base;
- leather or textiles;
- holder;
- key hooks;
- pendants;
- picture frame;
- branch of non-standard shape;
- acrylic lacquer.
You may also need:
- plywood sheet;
- branch of non-standard shape;
- cork;
- MDF or chipboard sheet;

Key holder for partygoers
Sometimes ideas for making key holders come out of nowhere. Wine bottle corks are an excellent decorative material. It’s such a shame to throw them away, and if you have accumulated enough of them, you can make interesting crafts.
Even if you have only a few wine corks, you can fix them on one surface, for example, on a narrow board vertically, nailing them with thin nails. Based on the principle of how a corkscrew enters a cork, special self-tapping screws with a half-ring instead of a head are screwed into the lower base of the corks (they are called a half-ring hook).
This way we get a number of hooks on which it is convenient to hang keys. To ensure that the keys do not get confused with each other, it makes sense to screw the hooks not into each plug, but through one.
Popular ideas
Nowadays, a large number of different ideas for making key holders have been invented. Let's look at the most popular models:
- Shelf. It is in greatest demand among the population and is suitable for standard housing.
- Box. Installed mainly in private buildings.
- Key holder for large farmsteads. Allows you to store keys in whole bunches.
- Organizer. Organizes other small items in addition to house keys.
Eco-style key holder
If you are a fan of eco-styles, country and rustic style are close to you, you will appreciate the following simple idea. You can make a wooden key holder with your own hands using sticks with knots. When going for a walk in the forest, collect and bring home knotty sticks. When you have enough of them, you can start working. Saw off equal sections of sticks, each of which has a Pinocchio knot.
Depending on your preference and the overall style of the entryway, you can remove the bark, leave them bare or paint them in bright colors, or use them as is with the bark. Screw all the sections to one surface with self-tapping screws. To prevent the wood from cracking, you should first drill holes with a thin drill.

Selection of design and construction solutions

For your home, the best option would be a model that fits harmoniously into the interior. It can be either luxuriously decorated or simple.

If you are not going to focus on such a product, you don’t need any particularly magnificent appearance from the key holder.
If you want to make the process of creating such a product as easy as possible, it can be made from an ordinary birch or oak branch.
No special skills are needed here. You just need to clear the tree of bark, drill the required number of holes and install hooks. The finished accessory should be varnished.
Key holder from the designer
If there are children in the house, you can make a key holder based on Lego. To do this, you need to attach a Lego plate to the wall next to the front door.
And turn several large parts into key rings by drilling small holes in them and putting them on a ring with keys. Each family member can have a piece of their own color, so in a hurry you won’t grab someone else’s keychain. And if the board is large enough, you can lay out a mosaic from a construction set on it, changing it according to your mood.

Every year, thanks to my work, I meet interesting and creative people. Last year I met some great guys from Novomoskovsk, I already wrote a report about their colorful workshop. We collaborated with them throughout the year. Trying to surprise and delight our Company’s clients at tool exhibitions, we used our own resources to embody the ambiance of the things and life of the old workshop. The key exhibits of our stands were rare motorcycles, borrowed from our friends from Novomoskovsk.
We set ourselves a difficult task, to create a universal set to please the majority of car lovers.
First, we determined the composition. In order to achieve uniform curling and logical order in the presented set, we had to change the composition and arrangement of the tool in the bag more than a dozen times. Thank you, Sasha for your patience, endurance and diligence
