I'm not sure what I should so with them...
Some have some intriguing shapes...
You might remember what I made a few weeks ago:
Now I need a new idea for all these keys.....any sugggestions?I'm joining Made It Monday with Persimmon Perch - please visit to see some clever ideas!
Wonderful find! I would probably use them to tie on to gifts, craft projects, altered jars...it would probably look neat to put a few keys you like best on the ring...then hang the key ring from a knob or old nail.
ReplyDeletePut all of them in a glass jar for display.
ReplyDeleteTie each key at intervals along string or ribbon, like garland, and drape across the mantle or on a vintage theme Christmas tree.
Put them all on a large ring and hang from your kitchen pantry door, or linen closet door... as if they were the "housekeepers keys".
String them like crystals from a chandelier/light fixture.
And I like the Sandra's idea above to tie them with ribbon to a gift.
Some of them would be fun as a pendant on a necklace...."the key to my heart". Thanks for sharing with Made it Monday! Jules
ReplyDeleteSomerset magazine has some with white string wrapped around them in a basket if I remember correctly. You could hang them from a spring branch in a vase? Hmmmm...let me think more about this one! I do like the garland idea.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother used to keep them on a giant ring, hanging on a hook in her home. They looked cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like how they look all together on that key ring.
ReplyDeleteWe've only had TWO canceled school days - - - but I've forgotten just now how many delays. For a while they said it would snow tonight - - - but now it's too warm and we're just getting rain.
I think these keys would be best wrapped up in a box and shipped to me :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was a great garage find. I have several old keys in a glass container on one of my shelves. I've also framed several together with a burlap backing. I use them on some of the snowmen I make too.
Enjoy your return to winter!

I like what you did with that one, can't wait to see what you do with the rest.
ReplyDeleteIt would be pretty to mount two or three in a shadowbox frame to hang on the wall. I might even make fake labels to go under them with interesting place names, and pretend that they were keys to local historic sites or something! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure to find!!!! I am so jealous. I have my eye on a project involving keys in our master bedroom. You will no doubt have endless uses..once again...so very green.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your endearing comment in my little corner of the world. I love yours! Hope this is just the beginning of peeking into each other's little worlds.
Cheers~
e
send them to me? lol
ReplyDeleteI luv the idea of displaying them in a glass jar...maybe make some CHRISTMAS garland with them!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
I have no ideas, except displaying them in a jar. I thought I'd read everyone's comments here to inspire me. :) Now you'll have to let us know what you will be doing with them.

Look at all those old keys...How wonderful! Oh, I'll be thinking of the possibilities! I just saw something on one of the blog hops...now to remember which one.
ReplyDeleteFrame them in different frames/mats and sell on Etsy as gifts for your favorite concierge. (the symbol for a concierge is a key!)
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I actually ended up hanging them on a black Halloween tree as a decoration and love it!!
