This craft is very simple to manufacture. It will appeal to all fans of the Dark Knight.
Batman's Housekeeper

To make a housekeeper we need:
  • Thin plywood 3-6 mm.
  • The dowel is furniture (Their number depends on how many hooks you want on the key holder). But if you did not find them, then you can use any small hooks for towels.
  • Double-sided tape (Thick).
  • Jigsaw.
  • Round file - a small file for delicate work.
  • Glue for wood.
  • Sandpaper.
  • Any black paint.


STEP 1: ON THE INTERNET we find the image of the Batman logo and print it.
Choose the image size as you see fit. In my case, the size was about 30 cm long and 12 cm wide.

STEP 2: Transfer the image to plywood with glue or carbon paper and saw it out with a jigsaw.

STEP 3: Using a file and sandpaper, gently process the edges and the plane of the workpiece.

Step 4: Next, mark the places for the hooks. I decided that there would be 4 hooks on my key holder. Tip: Do not place the hooks too close to the edges and to each other, because plywood is quite fragile material. After you have designated the places for the hooks using a drill with a diameter slightly larger or matching the diameter of the dowel, we drill holes.

STEP 5: Now let's start creating the hooks. For me, the dowel seemed too long, so I sawed it into two equal parts. We retreat from the edge of the dowel 4-5mm and, using a round file, make a small depression so that the key ring does not slip out of there. The hook is ready. You can process it with sandpaper.
STEP 6: After you have made the required number of hooks, they must be glued into the drilled holes. Make sure that the edges of the hooks do not protrude from the back.

STEP 7: After the glue has completely dried, we proceed to painting the key holder. For this, I used aerosolized black acrylic enamel. Such paint is better to cover products in several layers. But if there is no such paint, then you can use ordinary gouache or a black watercolor, but then, after the paint dries, it will need to be coated with a clear varnish to of furnitureso that if water gets on the key holder, the paint does not come off. Also, if you like the color of the tree, you can do without painting or just cover the craft with any varnish on wood.

STEP 8: When the paint dries, you can think about fixing the key holder on the wall. There are several ways to do this. For example, with the help of screws, attach the product to the wall. But, since plywood is a rather fragile material, I decided not to risk it and not spoil the craft. In this regard, I chose to attach a thick double-sided tape. Since the key keeper along with the keys in total weighs less than 300 grams, there will be no large load on the key keeper and the adhesive tape will not come off the wall. Therefore, we cut a few pieces of double-sided tape and stick them on the back of the key holder so that they do not extend beyond the edges of the key holder.
THE KEY IS READY! Now it can be placed in the hallway or given to someone.

In fact, this may not necessarily be Batman. You can take any image you like: cat, house, car and so on. The main thing is to understand how to make this craft. Such a housekeeper is not only a great gift for your family and friends, but also a very convenient thing in everyday life.

    Labor lessons were not in vain. We did such a thing with my younger brother, but we use it not as a housekeeper, but we hang packages. It looks very stylish!
