Some of my favorite craft stores aren't really craft stores. Like The Home Depo or Lowe's. I have a great idea for you today using counter laminate samples to make a scrappy key chain. I love mine! It is not huge, but big enough that I am no longer losing my keys and it really shows of my style and personality. The guys at the gym now refer to me as crafty keys....... (I love when a man takes notice of my creative side and dives into a crafty discussion.)
So to begin, help yourself to a few laminate samples. (Or if you're like me, fill your purse). They come in lots of colors, but I loved the solid colors and stuck with mainly black and cream colors.
Now there is no rule about how or what to do, just create. I used some modge podge to glue patterned paper to the back side. (I left the colored side you see in the photo alone and it became the back side of the keychain, and gave it a more finished look).
Add stickers, ribbon, buttons, baubles, bling and anything else you want. The laminate samples come with holes already drilled in them, like they are begging to be craft-ified. Add your chain, hook it to your keys and flaunt your creativity and style everywhere you go. For more instructions check out my tutorial in The Hens Den newsletter here.

Let me know what you think of this project and how much you can't wait to start making lots of these.
