KEY CATCHER DIY

Buongiorno a tutti, Hello everyone. I will show you my Key Catcher on my wall. As it is rainy day. I decided to do some rainy stuff ;)As I am key loser, and I like to throw my keys I think this pillow will help me to find and keep safe my home keyes. So this it what its look alike..

You will need:

magnets
fabric
velcro tape with adhesive sticky 2 side tape
sewing machine or you can also do it by hand
some pillow fillings, u can use also old clothes, plastic bags etc.
Some creativity


First step is to draw your shape about the pillow what should it look like. I made cloud shape, but you can use whatever shape you like.( Heart, star, moon, ball, cube etc).


Cloud Shape

Then cut the shape out by laying the cloud shape on the fabric. Be sure it is in 2 layers. Help to stay your paper shape firm with pins.

Cutting out the cloud


Now sew it around with sewing machine and leave little hole somepart. Dont forget to nip with scissors the parts of V. This way your cloud take better shape.

Fillings


 Fill it with a Pillow material or other stuff you can use. When you have give a great shape for your pillow sew the hole with hands or with machine.


Magnets

Decide how many magnets you like to put on your pillow. If you like to throw your keys I suggest to put little bit more than 1. 

Now cut round shapes 2 times bigger than magnet size and cover them up with fabric.  Tie up with some thread. Cut the rest of the button. Should look like this

Sew them now through the pillow. like this

Then when you have all magnets on your pillow turn it around and add velcro tape. You are now ready to fix it on your wall. Lets throw some keyes.. :)
