PROJECT 16

CORK KEYCHAIN

Finished Keychain

Having fun on the water is something most kids love to do. Boating, rafting, tubing, or just wading in a creek are all fun ways to spend hot summer days.

However, a good way to ruin the fun is to see your keys sink into the murky depths. Many people prevent this by purchasing a floating keychain for their boat and truck keys.

Fortunately, you don’t have to purchase a floating fob, as you can easily make one with a cork and a small eyehook.

This won’t hold a maintenance man’s key ring above water, but it will hold your boat, truck, and house keys.

Material:

1.     Cork

2.     Small Eyehook

3.     Key ring

Procedure:

1.     Get a long shanked eyehook, and screw it through the center of the cork.

2.     Attach a split ring to the eye.

3.     Thread on your keys.

Lessons Learned:

Besides thinking ahead to prevent problems rather than having to deal with the consequences, this project makes a great gift for a boat owner.
