Framed Keys

Materials and Tools:

keys of various shapes and sizes
fabric
hot glue gun
staples
cardboard
scissors
picture frame

Steps:

1. Remove the glass from the picture frame and use it as a template to cut a piece of cardboard to the same size. Cut a piece of fabric to fit over the cardboard with a couple extra inches on all sides. Glue the fabric to the cardboard in the back.

2. Arrange the keys and put glue on the back of each to hold it in place once satisfied with the design. Let the glue air dry for several minutes.

3. Put the glass back in the frame, and then place the cardboard inside. If the depth of the keys prevents the glass from fitting, hang the frame without the glass for the same effect.
