    Upcycling Vintage Keys into Pretty Necklace Charms

    We all have some old keys laying around our houses, right? Not sure what to do with them cause we hate being wasteful and throwing things away. Well turn that old trash into new treasures! Vintage keys come in all shapes, sizes and colors....let your imagination go wild.
    I recommend using a good adhesive such at E-6000 glue to attach your decorative elements.

    All types of pretty "findings" can be purchased at your local craft stores such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby or AC Moore.

    Shiny Swarovski crystal elements really set it off.

    Don't be afraid to combine colors. Copper and silver look great on a goldtone key.

    A great way to recycle and upcycle. Make some neat charms for yourself, your friends, or even to sell.
