Do you have a lot of keys in your hallway? Here`s an interesting way to orginize them by making a handy key holder from a wooden mirror.
Materials: - Wooden frame - Mirror - Coat hooks - White acrylic paint - Bronze acrylic paint - Triangle ring hanger - sand paper
Step 1. I have started from painting my wooden mirror frame with the white acrylic paint. My plan was to give it a vintage, a-la Provence look. To do so, I took a piece of sand paper and gently scratched the painted frame. This gave my frame more texture.
Step 2. The coat hooks I found in the store were white and didn`t fit the design of the painted wooden frame. That is why I have bought a dark bronze acrylic paint and painted the hooks.
Step 3. As soon as the paint on the hooks dried out, I have attached them at the lower side of the mirror. You can either glue the hooks or screw them to the frame. I chose the second option.
Step 4. Since my mirror is quite wide, I have decided to use two hangers instead of one to prevent the key holder from scewing. Afterwards I have nailed the triangle ring hangers one inch from the top, so they won`t be visible.
Step 5. The last thing to do is to find the right place for the key holder and hang it there.
This is it! Now you can enjoy a beautiful mirror in your hallway combined with a functionable key rack.
You can use a photoframe instead of the mirror and place a nice picture or the photo of your dearest ones instead of the mirror. Hope you liked this tutorial. Cheers!
