10 Clever Ways to Help You Never Lose Your Keys Again
With these tricks, you're one (crucial) step closer to getting out the door on time.
Make Them Glow
Glow-in-the-dark Mod Podge (who knew?) made this set much easier to find in the dark — which could come in handy when you drop them on the lawn on a cold winter's night (or just can't find them at the bottom of your purse — again).
Dedicate a Sneaky Cabinet
This narrow cupboard makes use of the bare side of a cabinet — genius! — an ensures that keys always have a tidy home to return to each evening.
Track 'Em
We knew it wouldn't be long before the tech world tried to solve this problem. Tile uses a small square keychain as a Bluetooth tracker, allowing you to figure out just where your keys are hiding with an app on your phone.
Make It Clear (and Cute!)
A DIY wall sign that is both colorful and blunt reminds you to hang up your keyring in the same spot every day.
Make Them Impossibly Large and Fluffy
A keychain made of pastel pompoms is slightly outrageous, but hear us out! You could spot these suckers from across the room, and will always quickly find them when rooting through your purse.
Try a Dish
It's simple, but sometimes offering keys a dedicated home is all the help you need. To make this cute dish, use the imprint of your own key for the perfect fit.
Group Them With the Mail
An old window shutter is actually the perfect way to wrangle and sort your mail. And since it's a frequently visited spot anyway, attach some S-hooks for your keys, too.
Gor for a Magnet
A simple magnet hidden behind a switch plate means you can turn on the lights and drop your keys all in one movement.
Save the Cork
Hang out often at the beach or pool? Attach a DIY cork keyring to your keys and they'll float! It's ideal for when your husband forgets they're in his swimsuit pocket.
Think Like a Kid
Sure, LEGOs are meant to be fun, but they're also a feat of engineering. Turn one block into a keychain, and you can craft a matching sign that will hold them securely by the door.
With these tricks, you're one (crucial) step closer to getting out the door on time.
