3. The DIY Key Holder with extra Floating Shelf Project Idea
Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever lost your keys in the Bermuda Triangle of your home? Well, fear not, my friends! I’ve got a DIY key holder with a floating shelf project that’ll make you feel like Houdini!
- First off, build that frame like you’re auditioning for Bob the Builder! Use wood glue and finish nails for a sturdy bond. No need to clamp down on your dreams; just nail them in place!
- Now, it’s time for a little sanding and staining action.
Get that frame looking smoother than mixing Minwax “Provincial” and Varathane “Sunbleached” like a mad scientist and stain away! - Hardware time! Grab some S hooks, a dowel, and eye straps. Bend the S hooks just a smidge so they cling to the dowel like a koala to a tree. Then, paint them all black with Rustoleum – matte or glossy; it’s up to you!
- Attach the eye straps to the frame. Don’t forget to paint those screws black to match. You’re going for a sleek look here, not a hardware store’s clearance bin!
- Bring in the floating shelf! Use mending plates to attach them to the frame. Ensure it’s level, or you’ll have a shelf as wonky as my Aunt Edna’s after her third margarita!
- Slide those hooks onto the dowel and secure it with hot glue. Hang it up on the wall, and you have a key holder that’ll make even Harry Houdini jealous!
So, grab your tools, copy the idea, and hang your masterpiece on the wall with the confidence of a seasoned art curator, and your keys will never go missing again!
Now, bask in the glory of your creation and say goodbye to those key-hunting days!
