Tracey helps us find our way home with the key wall hanging.

Altered House Keys Wall Hanging

This is such an easy and fun project for your home.  I started with a little wooden house that I found (open stock) at Michaels.  I layered two of the papers from the Communique Collection, leaving about ¼” of extra paper hanging over the edges of the house.  I sanded the edges and inked them, and the extra hangover paper created a very rough and distressed border that I loved!  I added a few accents like the vintage peanuts bag, and the “Vintage” G45 tag.  I created two tags and tucked them into the top of the peanut bag.  Add your hooks and keys and you have a fun, vintage inspired key hanger for your home.

 
Supplies:
 
Wood House hanger:  Michaels
Patterned Paper:  Graphic 45 - Communique Collection, “Pen in Hand,”  “Society Page,”  “Typography,”  “Communique Tags," ”Party Line”
Walnut stained tags and button:  Rusty Pickle
Keys:  Tattered Angels and Rusty Pickle
Adhesive:  Tombow – Mono roller Adhesive; Pop Dots
Other:  Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink; open stock ribbon; twine, vintage peanut bag (from local antique mall); Hooks from Home Depot; Delta black ink pad; Provo Craft “Circa” stamp

 

Thank you for sharing,

Happy Crafting,

I need to make one of these badly. My husband loses his keys (and mine!) constantly. I've even had to get a new key fob for my car.

Funny enough, my 17-year-old SON (whose room is kept like a typical teenage boy's room) keeps asking to put this key hanger in his room... Mr. Athletics wants THIS vintage project... go figure! ;-)
