DIY keyboards

Morning work fees, in kindergarten or school - there remains a couple of free minutes, and here you find that you cannot find the keys to the apartment. In such a situation, almost every person found himself. The keys are located over time, and in the most unexpected places. To prevent this from happening, and the keys are not lost at home, you can make a special device for storing keys - a keybox.

The keyboard in the hallway can be made of different materials. It is for you to decide which one to purchase a key holder so that in addition to its main function - storing keys, that it complements and decorates your interior.

Types of key houses

Few people know that there are several types of key holders and hundreds of variants of different keys for keys.

Traditionally, for the keeper of the keys, a place in the hallway is given. It can be a wall or a place on the nightstand. If you have a shelf or cabinet for shoes, hats and umbrellas in your hallway, then you can install a key holder on it. This will be a great place to store keys. The device can be made of different materials and look different. If you do not want to purchase store copies, then you can make a key holder yourself from improvised materials. In the meantime, you will select the materials, develop a drawing and make a key holder, you can adapt a small cardboard box, a tin can or a vase for the keys.

Look at the photo, such a key fan can be made in just half an hour:

The second type of keyboard is wall. Simple models can be made of a soft base - cardboard, dense fabric, or crochet of the canvas. If you ask how to make a key holder, then you can easily build a wall key a key from improvised materials from improvised materials.

These ideas of keywords in the photo will help to understand which key to make you make:

The third version of the keyboard is pocket. A small cover of leather or soft fabric will always allow you to always find a bunch of keys in a bag (especially in a ladies'). For convenience, you can purchase several pocket circuit at once to keep the keys to the apartment, garage, car and office separately. Similar covers for storing keys can be purchased at the store or make a key holder yourself.

What are the pocket key holders, look at the photo:

Why is it needed

The main task of the key of the key is to ensure the safety of the keys. It looks like a small box or cabinet made of wood or metal. You can also find options for key plastic keyboards. In such a key house, only the keys to the front door can be stored, but to entrust the storage of more massive keys - it is better to entrust the more durable models made of metal to open garages.

The dimensions of the keyrs can be different and depend not only on the number of keys, but also on the preferences of the owners. In most cases, the key holder is selected for the style of the room. The standard metal keypower is made in the form of a small box with a door and a lock to limit access to the keys of random visitors and guests. Inside the key holder there are hooks or other keys for keys. If you look at the back panel of the keyboard, then there is a place for the fasteners of the key to the surface.

There are special key holders for apartments, offices, hotels, warehouses and other industrial premises. For a large object (for example, an oil refining or metallurgical plant), special metal keyworms in the form of large boxes are produced. Such large -sized models are installed in an accessible place, so that in the case of an emergency situation (fire, flood, earthquake, electricity problems), it was possible to urgently open all the doors of the premises. Such keyrs do not have such an attractive look as a model for home.

What are the advantages of the key book:

1. The metal structure does not burn, will not melt and does not deform.
2. The metallic key holder is not afraid of temperature and humidity drops, since the surface is treated with special anti -corrosion agents.
3. If you install a key holder in the corridor, then it will become a reliable repository or a mini-shift for keys.
4. Personal time is saved, especially in the morning. With the advent of a wall -based organizer in the house for a long time, now you will not have to look for a key now.
5. Regardless of what material the key ward is made of, it can always be removed and installed in another place, for example, in a room that will not be available to outsiders. Also a good option is for the location of the keyboard - in the same hallway, but not on the open wall, but inside the cabinet.

If we consider keywinds from less durable materials - wood and plastic, then it should be borne in mind that they will not be so reliable compared to the metal key houses. This drawback can be compensated with a more attractive look. Of course, if there is a need for the maximum protection of the keys, then it is better to install a real safe.

DIY keyboards

If you decide to make a key holder yourself, then you can go easy and purchase a simple wall keywide from wood or plywood in the store. You can make a useful object decor yourself. Visit an art shop or shop “All for creativity”, there you can find a lot of interesting things, for example, a suitable stencil and a spray can. In just half an hour, you can make a real masterpiece from a plain boring keyword. You can decorate the front part of the key holder with an individual inscription or pattern, and then painted with paints.

The plastic keypad can also be decorated with a stencil and stained -glass paints, and then open the surface with colorless varnish.

In addition to key aids from solid materials (metal, plastic, wood, plywood), you can independently make a keyboard of cardboard, leather and even straw. There are even master classes for the manufacture of key houses from natural materials. You can find interesting circuit models that are closing on an individual key - this is very convenient, the main thing is that later you do not have to look for the main key.

How to make a key holder with your own hands:

If you do not have free time, and right now you want to make a key holder and place each key in your place, then you can make a useful object from old things. A wooden photo frame is suitable for the key. You will get an original wooden key.

Materials for work:

• small size wooden frame;
• hooks (metal or plastic) - the amount will depend on the size of the frame and on how many keys you plan to send for storage;
• glue (you can "PVA" or "moment");
• brush - 2 pcs. (for glue and paint);
• paint for staining wooden surfaces.

We make a wooden keykeeper on our own:

1. First you need to decide on the color. Choose a paint of such a shade so that it harmonizes with the interior of the room in which the key house will be located.
2. If the frame is very old, then it is necessary to clean it of the old paint or varnish. Use grinding paper. First, emphasize the surface of a coarse -grained grinder, and then small.
3. In order for the paint to lie well on the wooden surface, cover the tree with a thin layer of primer.
4. Now armed with a brush and paint, cover the surface with several layers of paint. Wait when the paint is completely dry to attach hooks.
5. Initially, we chose hooks that you just need to screw it into a tree with an effort.
6. It remains to think about exactly how to fix the key holder to the wall and place the keys on hooks.

If you are at least a little familiar with the carpentry, then you can make a real keykeeper made of wood. The simplest option - take part of the old window wooden frame and cut the desired size. You can give a good appearance to the future keyboard by paint or varnish. And if you apply such an interesting decoupage technique as “craquelure”, then the artificial effect of “aging” the surface can be achieved. Using a special set of colors and varnishes, as a result, you will get a wooden surface with an “old”, in some places broken paint. But so that we got a creative key of a circuit of a wooden rectangle, instead of ordinary hooks, you can use old keys or cutlery. Try to bend them and fasten them to the surface. On such hooks, you can hang not only the keys, but also umbrellas and hat.

And this is an example of the original keywide:

You can make such an unusual keybox from the old snag. The main thing is that natural material is in harmony with the general interior. In such a wooden snag, you can screw more than ten hooks and hang not only the keys, but also all the other things you need in the hallway. Surely such a snag will like not only you, but also your pets. You just have to ensure that the mischievous cat does not brush your keys with your paw.

Key of plywood

To make a keypower in the form of a house or a pretty animal, you will need such materials and tools:

• plywood or sheet of fiberboard;
• acrylic spray aerosol spray;
• transparent varnish (you can aerosol);
• fabric napkins;
• paper napkin with a decoupage pattern;
• brushes;
• decoupage glue or PVA diluted with water;
• loops and hooks;
• sandpaper.

How to make a key holder yourself:

1. First you need to prepare a paper sample. If you decide to make a keypower in the form of a house, then draw a figure on a sheet of paper and cut it out. When it was decided to make a keypad in the form of a cat, print a sample on the printer and increase it to a real size.
2. Apply the finished sample to the plywood sheet. To make it more convenient to work, you first need to cut a square, and cut out the desired part from it.
3. Pinch the edges of the workpiece with a coarse -grained sandpaper.
4. Process the surface with paint the selected color. Acrylic aerosol paint dries very quickly. In order to prevent the surfaces of surfaces, you can work in the bathroom, having previously covered the floor with an oilcloth.
5. If you have never worked in the decoupage technique, then it is better to start with small surfaces, so treat the edges of the keybox with paint (you can use a sponge), and attach the selected pattern from the napkin to the middle.
6. How to prepare a pattern: take a napkin and carefully “cut” the desired pattern with your hands. Separate two layers from the napkin, and attach the upper layer with the pattern to the surface.
7. Prepare the glue for decoupage. You can purchase ready -made glue in the store, but it is better to save and do it yourself: take one part of PVA glue and one part of the water. Mix both components and gently glue the paper pattern on the plywood with a soft brush.
8. Start working from the center of the picture, moving gradually to the edges. Do not take a lot of glue on a brush so that "wrinkles" do not form on the surface.
9. After the pattern completely dries, the surface can be covered with colorless varnish in two or three layers. After applying each layer, you need to wait when the varnish is completely dry.
10. When the workpiece is ready, you can fasten hooks and loops.
