The top of the wind chime was the bottom of a two liter soda bottle. Holes were punched with an icepick and nylon string used to hang the keys. It has lasted 18 years; this year I restrung it.

Glue the keys to the frame in whatever order or fashion you want. It is great for changing your boring old mirror into something that will make people stop and say wow! You can also use the keys in card making or scrap booking, altered art. Their are many many uses for your keys. Just think outside the box!

Or make a "keyring" for the little ones to keep in their purses. Or put a few on a split ring for the babies to play with. (sterilize first) Or, slip them in the hems of curtains to weigh the curtains down so they will hang straighter.

Make the note below and attach it to the key with a ribbon. "We don't have a chimney for you to climb through, but if you don't visit my our house I don't know what I'll do. Some say you are magic and can use any old key. As long as we hang it out in a place you're sure to see. So we're leaving this old key right outside our door Saying our prayers, jumping in bed, and we won't worry anymore."
