Many of you have seen the keys I altered a couple of years ago.I decided to do something similar this year.
I have SO many old keys, this is always a fun way to recycle and repurpose them. They make great gifts for my friends, too. And because they are recycled, I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday where their theme this fortnight is Recycle Something.
This clock actually works and it is getting a pin back. It is a gift for my friend Sally, whose birthday I completely forgot two weeks ago.
The other four will be necklaces.
These pieces are part of the wonderful gifts I won when Gaby had her giveaway. There are actually two different pieces on this key. 
Three snowflakes were used on this key. These would be great to wear at Christmas, I think.
Two pieces were paired together to decorate this key. After measuring a small pin back, I'm going to turn this one into a pin, also.
I may keep this one for myself, since I'm such a big fan of Paris. Two pieces were used to decorate this key, too.
I feel I should have removed the black plastic because it was detrimental to showing these keys.This is Day 11 of 22 and I recycled five used keys and several disparate or junk jewelry pieces.
Thank you again for following me on this journey of recycling this month. Today, you will once again find me at Try it on Tuesday, too.

ReplyDeleteI'm sooo impressed by your creativity Elizabeth! Beautiful and unique pieces! Thanks for sharing them with us at TIOT this time. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant idea. I didn't see your earlier post (I don't believe) because I think I would have remembered this. I think turning them into pins or necklaces is smart because they are very wearable. I like them all but the working watch one is especially clever. Nice recycling. Happy Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethis is a great project, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Elizabeth what an awesome project- I love these!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteJust flat out clever! These are so decorative and appealing. What a great use for both the keys, and the jewelry bits. And a working timepiece on the one- bounus!
ReplyDeleteThese are a lot of fun Elizabeth! Terrific idea.
ReplyDeletethese are very pretty, and a great idea for recycling old keys! fun necklace idea!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting to use old keys in this way. They make lovely ornaments or pins or necklace drops or... It's endless, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI love these! They're absolutely beautiful. It would be a great thing to do for the keys we currently use too, to tell them apart. Or an abbreviated version thereof.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth; how....cool.....is.....this !!!!!!!!!!!!! very clever :) the Christmas key could even be used as an ornament ♥♥☺☺ tell bleu N squiggles da tabbies say hi ~~~~~ ♥♥
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, I love these altered keys Elizabeth. Each one looks beautiful and would be awesome accessories to wear.
