Old Keys: How to Recycle and Reuse Them

Arts and Crafts Projects

Old keys can be used for a variety of arts and crafts projects. The opportunities to get creative with old keys are truly endless. You can make a necklace by simply tying a thread through the key. You could also display your keys in a painting or use the outlines in a drawing of some kind. The options for how you can use your old keys for various art projects are only limited to your imagination.

One popular item that is often created using old keys is a wind chime. This is simple and easy to do since all you need is a ring of some kind and some string. You can place the keys at varying lengths around the ring using string or ribbon. This will create a completely unique windchime for your family to enjoy at little to no cost to you.

Create a Memento

If you remember the places your old keys were once used for, you might want to consider making a memento. This could be as simple as creating a Christmas tree ornament or a more detailed shadow box that displays your old keys. Your first apartment, the first home you shared with your spouse, and other sentimental times in your life can be represented well with old keys. A shadow box that displays individual keys with labels of where and when they were once used can make a great gift or piece of art for your home.

Use Them to Weigh Down Curtains

Keys are a great way to weigh down curtains, especially if they are lightweight. Simply stick a key in the hem of the curtains to keep them from blowing all over the place when the windows are open. This is a discrete and free way to keep your curtains weighed down without needing to spend money or purchase different kinds of curtains.

Tie Down Helium Balloons

For birthday parties, anniversaries, and other events involving balloons, consider using old keys as weights. Instead of buying weights exclusively for balloons, you can reuse old keys to keep helium balloons from flying away.
