I recently got a new toy! The Dremel Moto-Saw. It’s the perfect tool for a crafter/DIYer like myself.  I love that it has two saws in one too — a stationary saw and a detachable handheld coping saw.  Score!  Dremel recently reached out and challenged me to make a fun project to share with all of you.  Of course I was up for the challenge.  I decided to make a super cute DIY Key Holder.  Keys are always laying around, so having one central location with a little extra cuteness is a win-win!

Fabulous DIY Key Holder with livelaughrowe.comHow cute is that?  I’m so excited to share this tutorial with you.

Let’s grab a few supplies:  Dremel MotoSaw, 1/2″ 2×2 Birch Plywood, Template of Project, Drill, 7/8″ Cup Hooks, Sand Paper,  Paint and Paint Brush.

DIY Key Holder Tutorial with livelaughrowe.com1.)  Set up your Moto-Saw according to the directions. I mounted mine using the fast clamp base and attached it to a sturdy piece of plywood laid across a couple saw horses,  using the wood blade for this project.  Now might be a good time to mention how super slim, lightweight and compact the Moto-Saw is.  It makes setting up, tearing down and storage exceptionally easy!

2.) Print and cut your template.  I found mine at Free Scroll Saw Patterns.  You’ll want to trace it onto your wood.  I used a black marker for exterior lines and a pencil for interior lines.

3.)  Cut out your design.  I started with all of my exterior cuts first, then moved into the interior ones, saving the tedious work for last {giggle}.

4.)  You’ll need to drill a hole into the interior spaces, ensuring that the blade will fit through it.  You’ll remove the blade from the saw and replace it inside the wood, allowing you to make the appropriate cuts.

Blade is placed inside the drilled holeYou’ll just keep cutting until all of your cuts are complete!

Complete the cutting of the DIY Key Holder5.) Once you’ve completed cutting out your key holder, you’ll want to place your template back on your wood and drill or nail starter holes for your hooks.

Drill Holes for Hooks in Key HolderThe last step is smoothing out any rough edges with sand paper.

6.) Now it’s time to paint.  I painted mine with two coats of of white paint and two coats of a Robin’s Egg blue color.  I used your basic acrylic paint.  Then it was time to sand again because I wanted it to have the look of a little wear and tear.  Once your done sanding,  attach your cup hooks and your done!  Voila!
