Make your own monogrammed DIY key holder and never misplace your keys again !
Anyway, I grabbed this great galvanized metal letter at the craft store and got to work on my DIY key holder! (I should preface this by saying, in this case, it was incredibly convenient that our last name is also a month of the year because they had these cute laser cut wood month names at the store. So for most of you, you can either leave that part off or perhaps make your own by cutting your last name out of some thin cardboard or chipboard? Or you could choose another premade word like, “love”, “family” or “joy”! ) Here’s how I did it…
Monogrammed DIY Key Holder
Laser cut name or word (these would be cute!)
Cup hooks (mine were gold and I spray painted them black)
Multi-surface glue (here’s my favorite)
- Spray paint your laser cut name or word and your cup hooks (if necessary) outside.
2. While the paint is drying, make holes in the bottom surface of your metal monogram letter. The holes should be a bit smaller than the diameter of the cup hook’s screw end. While you could drill them, I actually just used a nail and hammered it through, this isn’t very thick metal. It took a little muscle but it worked. 3. Screw the cup hooks into the bottom of the letter. Add a little glue inside if you want. 4. Using the multi-surface glue (because you’re gluing wood to metal) glue your name or word to the front of your metal monogram. Make sure to wipe off any glue that oozes out from under the word. It might be helpful to weigh it down with a heavy book while it’s drying. (I had a picture of this, but it just looked like a giant book sitting on a table, lol!) 5. When it has dried as long as the glue recommends, go ahead and hang up your new DIY key holder! Mine already had some nice little holes in the back for hanging!
